Looking for Input from PW Owners

Bought my 22 new for 85k out the door. Hydro blue/black fully loaded. Aside from Mopar replacing the engine at around 5k the truck has been great. Take her on the beach at Montauk every year. Always gets thumbs up.

You must have ordered right before me. I ordered in April '22 and the hydro blue was not available.
But the Patriot Blue is nice, too.
 
Ok, dropping off the RV.
Real world results from this weekend
230 miles
8.2 MPG
65 to 70 MPH most of the time.
70 miles with out the trailer doing 75 to 80 MPH.
Some idle time when hooking/ unhooking trailer. 4 times.
11 hills of 200 feet elevation change or more. Did them in 4th gear and no problems.
Total elevation changes from 4700 up to 5500feet.
Trailer fully loaded was about 8200 lbs. Truck had another 800 lbs with cargo and 2 passengers.

Pretty good. My 1/2 ton was literally dragged onto the flat bed today. lol. Originally said they would give me $29,5k for the trade in but came down to $27 (due to some hail damage and a few other things). For a truck that does not work, that’s not too bad. Now we’re working on the details but put money down on her this weekend.

Agree...they have a white one with all the vinyl, which I know I can delete but am also really liking this color. I know it will show more but am ok with that.

When I was originally looking at buying, I was looking to do a custom order. Dealer said they would not custom order without the decals, since it might make it harder to sell if I backed out, but would remove them if I requested it.

I ended up buying one they had on order already, and they removed the decals for me after it arrived at no cost to me.
 
The decal really comes off much easier than I thought it would. I removed the 'pinstripe' aspect of it a few weeks ago, prepped all my tools (heat gun, rubbing alcohol, drill w/ the 3M sticker wheel, extension cords, yadda yadda) and basically didn't need almost any of it. Had both sides clear of the pinstripe inside my lunch hour. Wasn't even a warm day, I think it was 65 degrees maybe. I maybe had a few small spots of leftover adhesive which needed a bit of rubbing alcohol, and that was it.

My truck's only a 2024 though, may get tougher with some age. My main point here is mostly that if they try to charge you bunch of labor to remove it, it's very simple to do yourself.
 
I ordered a Chevy truck, twice. Each time, i told my salesman I didn't want any stickers on it, including their dealer ones. He agreed.
When the first truck came in, I went to get it and it had the stickers on it. He sent it over to the body shop to have them removed. They sent it back clean of stickers, along with a bill. My salesman sent the bill back to them. I didn't have to pay it. :)
Second truck was clean of stickers when I went to pick it and no bill.
 
Only camera I have on mine is the back up one. I don't really worry about not having any others.
Glad you found one you like.
