Tradesman trade

[Tri-J]

Had the '17 single cab for the last 2 years since just the wife and I. Searched all over north Texas to find it and it was awesome.

We have 4 daughters and were blessed with a new grandchild last year...and another one 2 weeks ago...and 2 more expected this summer! The wife is not parting with her Mustang, so told me we needed a bigger truck.

I really liked my '17, so searched the dealer network to find one just like it, but more doors. Found it-

This '18 has the 4x4 Off Road package with the Bilstein shocks. I can't believe the ride difference with these shocks. This truck rides like a half ton! Thought about waiting for a '19, but the deal was too good to pass up.

Congratulations, Nice Truck!

Love the Regular cab. Children grown so ordered this last year and loving it. Pulls my trailer quite nicely and have put 10k miles on it in 5 months.

Both are nice trucks. Congrats!

Yup. Just bought a similar truck.
Tradesman, RC black crystal pearl. Fairly optioned.
Picking it up this week.
Hey, where'd you get those chrome body moldings for that RC?

I ordered mine from autotrucktoys.com, but I don't see them in stock now.
But they are here-

If this is not an exaggeration I would sure like to know more about these shocks and exactly what particular type/ model number shocks they are.

Love the new truck! I want one myself.

For sure not an exaggeration, the ride between the two trucks is night and day. I'm not sure what model the shocks are.

And the bad news....check engine light came on today.

Thanks. I've been looking into this and there is a Bilstein package that has been sold on some trucks so thats probably what it is. I'm looking for anything to improve my ride so I'm now looking at what Bilstien has for the aftermarket.

Started missing my Bedrug from the former truck...

So, had to do it!

Forgot I left my spare St. ***** rope in the bed.
