That rust on the rear diff? Although there will be no adverse effect with surface rust, it can be an eye soar. I sprayed mine with Rustoleum HP Enamel - flat black a while back.

Need some one to measure the front and rear to see how much if any rake there is.

Don't know why a Platinum wouldn't have rear wheel well liners....

Great looking truck. Give it another few months and everyone will be saying how great the new grills look.

I remember you when you ordered your 2015, I had ordered one also. Didn't you have problems with the first one and have to get another one?

I just had an 18 complete the build and on a train now.

I Love The New Front Ends!!

The Stop / Start Cruise control is taking some time to get used to. Buttons have moved and it is a new pattern to remember. The seats seem more comfortable then my 2015. The 10 Speed transmission seems good. I dont notice any excessive shifting, it is super smooth. B&O sound system is a major improvement.
Thanks, I have a customer in Easton that I visit on a regular basis and I had a friend that used to work at Preston.

Thanks for clarifying....didn't realize that was a change for '18. Not sure I'm on board with that....I'd rather keep the door location, or just do away with altogether. Tailgate doesn't make much sense to me...busy enough back there already.

Dental floss and 5 minutes of your time will fix that.

Yes Sir, That was me. The second truck was great. I just always wanted the Ruby red and the new cruise with stop and go should be great. The Front end sealed the deal for me. I guess my avatar gives me away. It is a bit unique here. I am a big collector.

Yup. I'll just keep the heat gun going, cuz if I get the SE trim, those gawd-awful black decals are coming off too!

Interested in the new sound system specs and speaker locations?
Is it a thing like the B&O in the Audi ?
