Nice! That is a beautiful sight indeed! And that delivery time line is certainly encouraging.

I think the rear mounting may be the same but the 2018s will have different rear shocks. Something about a single piston, suppose to be better ride and help keep the rear wheels from bouncing as much on rough terrain. Not an expert but have heard on some reviews it is a good improvement over the 15-17s.

I removed my bed liner, rear bed cover and my swing box storage because I was pretty sure they would all fit on the 18 (plus you get nothing for that stuff on trade-in). The only one that I'm not 100% sure, is the swing box. The mounting for the bracket is drill-less, you pull the tail light and use some existing holes. I'm just hoping that didn't change even though the rear lights are a bit different. I think they are the same size just a small design change inside the light.

jrm7 Ssswwwweeeeetttt, love that picture, you have a good salesman!

What is you blend number?? Maybe dealer looked up wrong truck.

Cotus just shaved another day off of my estimated delivery date, now it is Sep 22nd. That is 8 days less than the original estimate 30 Sep.

Edit-
Just got email from my dealer, my baby is on the train!!! --"Shipped Rail - Railcar # TTGX158132 (Norfolk Southern Corp )

Now to remember how to track it with the rail tracking system.LOL

My truck shipped today. Started production on 9/5, finished yesterday, shipped today. Delivery date in cotus moved from 10/2 to 9/21. Now I am getting excited.

. It is shipping by truck so I'm thinking delivery will be even earlier than 9/21.

Our trucks could be on the same train. Wait you said truck?? I don't think so. Over 300 miles usually goes by rail.
