I picked up a new 2012 Tradesman that had been sitting on the lot for a couple of years. It was very close to everything I wanted in a hunting/fishing/recreational truck. Rubber floors, vinyl seats, 5.7L beast and 4 wheel drive. The dealership was ready to let it go and I got it for almost $10k below sticker. Here it is sitting on the lot.

Bought a set of 20" factory wheels from a buddy who stripped them off of his 2009, added a ProComp leveling kit, P275/65/R20 Duratracs and a whole lotta Plasti Dip.

Taking her in for tint tomorrow. I've got a Hypertech speedo calibrator coming and I'll be buying factory flares in the next couple of weeks. Don't have too much else planned for it at the moment but I'm loving this truck!

Anyone else driving a Tradesman?

It's like my half ton baby brother!
Mine's a Tradesman too, but I got the preferred customer package or some such rubbish.
I have carpet, PW, PL etc.

Sounds like a great truck. I'm envious of the new wheels and tires.
I'd LOVE to get a set for my truck already.

I've got PW & PL, CD plater and integrated trailer brake control but that's about it, lol. I just looked it up on the NADA website and I paid less than clean trade in value for it. :)

Looks great. $10K off a Tradesman is a pretty good deal. Around here, you can get that on Big Horns and above (at least last year when I purchased). A new '12 has to be a rare find.
