Nice looking truck. Have the same in a 16. As others have stated that grill....just doesn't flow right. Even the side image looks off. That said haven't seen one in person yet.

Gorgeous!

We too picked up a 2018 last week (Magma Lariat) and are very happy with the truck.

And boy are the taillights nice and bright. Quite fond of that as a matter of fact...

You updated your sig, nice. I have a BakFlip G2 on my 2010 Platinum, but have decided to go with an Undercover Ultra Flex for my 2018. Partially to match my bedrug. Now do you like the Undercover and did you route the drain tubes through the stake holes at the top of the bed?

Are you going to level it, or leave as is?

I had the dealer switch the Undercover Flex to this truck so i currently have no idea where the drain tubes went. I had the cover on my 2015 and I am very happy with it. I am still debating a level. It seems like the 2018 sits a bit more level then the 2015 did. I may be imagining this.

In that first photo you posted, the truck does look level. I'm pretty sure the 2018s got the new mono shock, but not sure that would make a difference.

Sweet truck! I still prefer the look of the 15-17, but it seems as if you either like the old or the new. How do the new shocks compare?

Nice looking truck. I've only started looking on the web. Also in MD, which dealer did you use?
