I ordered a Tradesman 2500, 4WD, RC, with the CTD and G56 (How's that for some alphabet soup?) along with a few options. MSRP about 45K... 34K before tax, title and registration. Color is "Maximum Steel Metallic"
Will look something like this (I didn't get the clearance lights, or the tubular steps though).
I'm probably going to keep my 1st gen around, just in case something falls through and I gotta sell this thing and ditch the payment.
Awesome choice on the standard cab too!
You were smart for getting the diesel...if you have to drop it for whatever reason (hopefully not) there will be tons more lookers at yours! Lots of people don't know how heavily discounted these trucks are new. You may even find someone in a year who would give you $35K for that "$45K" truck you have there!
I always LOL when my buddies buy used diesel trucks and tell me they got 4 year old trucks and "it was $50K when new and I just got it for $35K!!!"
