Good deal !!! (see the fun in the double meaning )

I HOPE the weather for you has been better than ours the last week ! Can't imagine doing all that in a TexUS summer !

Next time, after all the $ talk and "I can't give you anymore for your trade" from them,
see if you can negotiate them swapping the parts...
that's what I did from our 2012 to 2013 ....

They moved my hitch and all then decided to just put a new sway bar on rather than switch mine, etc...

They would have moved my air bags, but I wanted to get a new wireless airlift kit with in cab keyfob....
did find out it's ok to mix and match mfg's on the bags and compressors, etc...

but I decide to let camping world install the bags and WirelessONE compressor kit for $39 each

Congrats on the removal of the equipment and the new truck! That's the best color out there
here is my install of the Airlift Wireless One and my OBA with my firestone airbags.

It was hot yesterday...heat index around 105 F. I bought one of those huge shop fans at Harbor Freight a couple weeks ago and it was the best $100 I've spent in a while.

I tried to work-in at least moving the hitch/rails and the best they offered was having one of the shop guys take it off. For all their hitch installs they use a local hitch dealer so they don't have any in-house expertise.

Whoa! What a stunner, bridge! Congrats on the new truck.

Nice Truck!! Also, does the fan from Harbor Freight seem to be made fairly well? Never purchased anything from HF but they recently opened a retail store close to the house. Again Love the new truck, I opted for a '14 also because of all the incentives offered.

They have two models, a floor fan and one on a stand. I got the one on the stand. I leave it on when I'm in the garage, sometimes for long periods. No issues yet although it is somewhat loud...sounds like a Cessna prop.

Thanks All. Got the rig home, got the 5th wheel rails installed, airbags (let a hitch shop do it this time) and a few extras. The little ones really like the color

Nice truck!!

I moved some of my goodies from my old truck to my new one as well... I actually wanted them to take the leer topper as it wasn't 100% made for the truck. It was made for a truck without the cab step and I modified it to close.

I also learned that when you get it appraised they never add in your extra anyways, so for the most part some of my goodies had already been removed.

The only things I left on the trade-in that the dealer wanted was the Pioneer Nav and the front Camera (they were very excited about the front camera). I grabbed everything else including the bed extender. Now that I don't have the front camera I got one of these:

Keeps me from hitting bumpers when pulling into parking spots.

I am hoping that coastaletech releases a lockpick for the 2015... I may get one this time and add a front camera.

I did send them an email so we will see.
