Good to know, i was wondering about the short bed. You have a very sharp truck, love that color! Looks great with the black wheels. I wonder if they are going to make it in 2015 out of the aluminum and how much less it would weigh? 500#'s?

Nope. Tremor is getting the axe in 2015 so it will be that much more unique given that it will be a 2014 only model. I think it is not a huge surprise to most of us here given its price point and what you can get for a similar price.

Hell there are two that I have seen at dealerships in Austin right now and they won't go any lower than $40k on either of them. I only paid $41k for my loaded 2wd SuperCrew Platinum! I just don't see the value personally, but obviously some do. More power to ya, literally

Lots of opinions on the Tremor. I've never heard anyone claim it was the best bang for the buck. I think its more of a "want truck" than a financially economical truck. It's a unique special edition truck and if you got the coin it's a sweet purchase. Its not suppose to be a cheap option. Thats what the xl and xlt are for, right?

Question

Resale value of a Regular Cab drops substantially....... Wonder if the Tremor will suffer low trade-in value/resale value?

It will be one of those collector things, they are only making them for one year.

I doubt it. Look at the used prices for the Lightning. I know, I've heard it before, this is not a replacement for the lightning. That being said, it IS a niche market, and it is a unique package. People will pay for them, and the resale market will hold their value. Trade value may be different, but private party sales will stay high.

Agreed. Base XL/XLT 3.7 regular cabs do drop in value as they are considered work trucks or Grandpa trucks in the secondary market. They are also not as popular as they once were in the early to mid 90's (the demand in todays world is crew cabs).

Regular cab "sport trucks" such as the Tremor, FX2 and even the XL 5.0 will have a niche following that will keep the price of nice examples higher than average.

Just look at the Lightning or the 454SS. Prices are more than double what a pdestrian regular cab of the same era is.
