OK. here's my new truck - a 2024 Platinum. It is much more "understated", I think than the old 2014 was. Not much on the exterior to tell you it's a Platinum, except that name on the side vents and lettering on the tailgate. Gone is all the brushed aluminum and chrome that earlier Platinums had. You can still get this with the Platinum Plus option, but I didn't really want that.
Some may question why anyone would pay so much for a pickup truck and here is my reasoning:
1. I spend a significant amount of time in a vehicle, so I might as well enjoy it and look forward to the experience.
2. I can afford it.
3. It is still able to do what I need a truck for - hauling and towing my travel trailer.
Very clean lines - nice DRL design in my opinion. The side vents are functional. The hood vents are not. Love the Pro-Access tailgate. It is great if I have my trailer hooked up and makes for easier access to the rear of the bed. I wish the Moon Roof was a "delete option". This is one option I don't really want or use.
Thanks, guys! It's a pleasure to drive too. Lots of power and VERY comfortable. I'm doing little things to it now. Making a cargo keeper that will hold items near the tailgate, rather than letting them slide to the front of the bed. It's modeled after one I've seen online that sells for about $200, but mine will cost about $70, using sheet ABS and some aluminum angles. It has a bit more storage in the cab too, compared to my old 2014. The new Sync 4 system is great, especially compared to the Sync 2 that came in the 2014.
