4500 on the way

[Record]

This is a good forum, lots of helpful info so far. I have a 2020 4500 cab and chassis with a Bradford Built steel 4 box utility flatbed installed will be delivered next week. I’m in California but bought it from a dealer in Kentucky. 2 reasons I did that were the price for the truck was almost 11k below the sticker price and the dealer I bought the truck from is also a dealer for Bradford Built flat beds and they had the bed I wanted in stock. Oh, and I wanted a black one amd I couldn’t really find any black 4500’s out here. It is a tradesman trim level with a handful of additional options but some of the main things are the aluminum wheels, 8.4” screen, tow technology package and a few other things. The Ram dealer installed the bed and I’m just waiting on the shipper to pick it up. I’ll post some better pics when it gets here, these are from the sales guy after the bed got installed.

Congrats on the new truck and Welcome to HDRams!

Looks like you scored the AUX switches (I think that's standard on CC) so that's a huge win right there.

Very nice setup! Just curious what is it costing you to ship? Thx. Also when you get her please report your thoughts on ride and drive and hopefully towing.

This is a great looking truck!

The combo of the 8.4" screen, aux upfitter switches, and manual 4x4 lever are great. What are you towing with the 4500?

Cool truck. That thing's a brute.

I agree, Don Franklin in Somerset KY orders a lot of their 4500 and 5500 tradesman’s like that and they price them aggressively. Will be using it for work and as my daily driver.

Thank you, I have always liked the look of the Bradford beds. They have a really good look to them and the fit and finish is really good. I’m going to polish the diamond plate panels on the side and black out the badging on the truck and that’s it for now

Dealer quoted me 2300 but the shipper they found cost 2600. They honored their quote and the cost is because it basically takes up two spaces.
