I'm sticking with stock size 275/60R20 which is the same overall diameter of the tremor if I'm not mistaken (33"). I went with Toyo Open Country AT3 in standard load. I just don't like the rake they come with and I don't tow too often or overly heavy.

Exactly my thoughts. I’m getting the same size tire but the 18” rim so that will make a difference

Get it LineX on your own. Lifetime warranty that way

+2 for line-X and I’d also inquire about an undercoat.

I hear mixed feedback on the undercoating. Some say it traps the moisture in?

Probably the work I’m “least” looking forward to on my truck, but I know I’ll appreciate it later on.

Step 1:
Eastwood Internal Frame Coating
Step 2:
Eastwood Rust Encapsulator

It’s not going to be fun being on my back for that long, but I know it’ll be done right.

They have to detail it still, so picking up Tuesday but it’s finally here!

Just got home! I had never driven a powerboost, it rides like a dream, not like a truck, but I can get used to that. Koons was just perfect too. I got 3500 off my 5% below invoice price thanks to a pco, and the 1k order rebate from Jan. They had a sticker price on it of 83! Plus I got 0 for 60 months. I could not be happier. I'll leave a review for koons later...now I have stuff to install on this Brokeback Ranch.

Did they price protect your order? I have a Feb order coming in the next month or two and hadn’t heard anything from Dexter on price protection yet. Thanks for this update, glad to hear Koons was a good experience!

Yes and they did everything to get me the best price and all offers. The Private Cash Offer, PCO, was in my wife's name but they moved it to my purchase since we also have the same address of course. Out the door I was 65k, window was 74,995 they had a planned mark up that kicked it to 83. Just know this is Dexter's full time job taking and processing the orders. He doesn't say much, but I saw him answering a dozen emails while I was sitting there

Congrats on being the first of the 5/9 group to take your truck home!

That’s great! He has been really responsive throughout the process. Enjoy the new ride and hopefully I’ll be enjoying mine soon!

Picked up my truck Saturday. While I was there, there was a girl picking up a truck from Idaho. Granger hired on a guy that his only job is to pick people up from the airport! Crazy! Absolutely love the truck. The adaptive cruise control and lane centering made driving back from Iowa a breeze! Picking up from Granger was super easy. I will 100% buy a car via this way again. Line X spray in next week, also added LED license plate lights which were very easy to install. After that keeping it mostly stock. 0 rust on the differential. The fit and finish to me is excellent and I only have an XLT. I think I have half the bugs in Iowa and the Midwest on my windshield and front grill. She needs a bath already. Love the color, a hint of blue/green in it, depending on the lighting. MPG wasn’t bad going 75 mph with a 40 mph headwind through Iowa and western Illinois.
