What are your thoughts on the options you got and that were available? I drove a couple the other day and feel kinda torn from getting one relatively loaded with all the cool features or just keeping things simple and getting a Tradesman with the PW package.

It is a truck vault so it is an all-weather version so covered in Line-X I bought a universal rubber mat that covers it all and the fridge does not slide I had this set up in my last truck and it did not slide but it would bounce. Ill play with this but may do a slide. Truck vault is made of wood so I use wood nutserts and anchored the front box and front runner water carrier that way.

I loaded up other than ram boxes and a sunroof. Ive always had issues with a sunroof so passed on that. With that said the new trucks have so many electronics anyway so why not have all the technology. I live in a big State and travel quite a bit to hunt here along with Heading to Idaho for Chukars and will head to AZ for quail this year so I want all the gadgets. I wanted adaptive cruiser, etc and the 12" Screen The 12" screen allows you to split the Nav with the radio or your phone so you can have a split screen. Im fine with the dial on have gotten use to it already I like how it is out of the way On the Ford 1/2 tons the shifter is on the console and that kills the console or it is a dial one console so I would rather have the dial where it is to keep it clean. Overall I'm 99% pleased I wish the floor still had the additional cup holders but other than that I'm good. Im sure the net generation will get the larger rear cab which would bench but not a deal breaker for me as I felt the changes were significant enough to pass on an 18.

Hope that helps

Dose your truck have the "cargo cam" option? If so did you have to remove and replace the brake light to install the Snugtop? Or does the Snugtop fit with the camera still in place?

Not a bad idea as it will not get used now. Wouldn't be that hard and then Id have 2 cameras one with a more elevated view if I ran out the back

Is it just me, or does the back of the front wheel well look further back than on the 2018 trucks (or the axle is pushed further forward in the wheel well)? I know there is frequently rub there (fender liner/seam) on the 2018 trucks, so this might be good news for those guys wanting to put 37's on?

Love it. Have always wanted a PW and love that they finally have more options for them.

Also, couldn't agree more when you say "With that said the new trucks have so many electronics anyway so why not have all the technology." It's so damn true. My old F150 was basic and before it died I wanted to get an OBS ford and go even more basic but leased a 2018 F150 for an amazing deal and I have to admit I am enjoying the electronics way more than anticipated.

Nice build keep it up!
