One of the local dealers has one on the boat and should be in soon. I called the dealer and they won't even talk price or markup with me over the phone. They keep calling me and emailing me to come in and talk to them but the truck still isn't here. I'm sure they are going to mark it up and I don't want them to **** me off..so, gonna wait and see what it is when it gets here. I'm not a huge fan of the all blacked out version though - just my opinion. They had a few Black Widow editions and they marked them up like $15k adjusted market value.

There's a few people that ordered them. I've seen a post or two here and on another forum. 90K+.

Some dealers have advertised no markup.

Should be an awesome vehicle....just outside of my budget and not being able to fit in my garage.

75th Anniversary Power Wagon next year for me though.
I actually saw a grey one today on the road

We got this one in yesterday. Also have a Hydro Blue one due any day. A Flame Red and Bright White will round out our set within the next month. 5c4d11003a94a846b3f7c5a0029431f6.jpga87850665b442ee757e701296b85258d.jpg36c1e3285c8d1e1e88eb30a89f318986.jpgce1994b23d35bcf18a3b8ddc59e3019c.jpg83b21448e8d455768866f2e9e2ac399e.jpgc8a1d4b38a4ec6f58ef105c853bd161b.jpgb0665d60e08639c3aff307a4240f21d5.jpga459c8dc9b3f499a19f9af863549bbbd.jpga4ae39f8d96cbd8ea763e9861fe2ea3d.jpg

By the way, I like the FUNCTIONALITY of the TRX, but don't need/want the "LOOK AT ME" aspect.

Yeah, I get what you are saying. Without the RAM bar, the truck is actually kinda low key.

I'm a "just show me the vehicle" guy. I don't like the huge "TRX" graphics on the side and really don't like the ridiculously huge "R A M" on the tailgate.

My vehicles are all de-badged as far as possible. I was taking the side mouldings and humongo (and now valuable...) emblems off my '67 VW back in the day and haven't stopped since.

I get that the auto makers want all the recognition they can get, but most of the time it detracts from the original perception* of the designer.

*OK - I don't know a single designer, and never read a review by one who decried the pot-metal slapped on their designs. BUT, show me ONE that applauded it.

I agree with the graphics. If I were to order one I probably would leave the graphics off. On the fence with the RAM Bar though.

I'm really disappointed in the Patriot Blue of my '20. I love, Love, LOVED my Blue Streak '15. Don't tell my wife I've thought about getting my '20 re-painted...

I MAY have gotten Hydro Blue if it were available when I ordered my '20, but Im not sure I would like it any better than the Patriot.

Thankfully, I sold my '15 to my son, who works for me. So at least I get to see it pretty frequently (he generally drives his '60 F100 when the weather is decent).

Hydro blue is much closer to the old blue streak than the patriot blue is. I personally think the hydro blue is a better color, but everyone has their own opinion. One thing is for sure, pics simply do not do either of the colors any justice…they are a great color!
