Average Discount: 14.6 percent. Again, this is for model-year 2013 versions that are in the process of being replaced by redesigned 2014 editions. The new models are improved, but many buyers might be just as well off settling for one of last year’s versions at a deep discount and with substantial manufacturer’s incentives. Coming in second in the big truck category is the Sierra’s near twin, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
