Well, I drove the stripper yesterday...that Tradesman CTD was nice. Spartan, of course, and not a ride like my Reb, but nice. In the past two weeks, I've driven '18 and '19 2500s and 3500s in diesel and gas with 6- and 8-speed trannies and in two trims (Tradesman and Laramie). The Laramie is closest interior to what I'm used to driving, of course, but the Tradesman will do the job, especially with that torquey oil-burner under the hood.
Good salesman, too; he admitted that I probably knew more about the truck than he did (it was on the used lot and he sells new stuff) and that his job was really to serve as a middleman between me and the tower. Ex-Army, so he didn't try to pull any fast ones on me. Heck, he didn't even sit me down and run numbers, as this CTD is a CPO rig and as such, has a fixed price.
Decisions, decisions.
