Also, after seeing this video, I noticed that there are 4 bolts missing from the panel that holds the speakers in as well.. So, some quality issues but overall the luxury feel described here is pretty spot on. It definitely looks and feels like a high end vehicle. the Super Cruise is pretty awesome but not available on all roads.

I like the flat black fender protection on mine. I owned an earlier Ultimate and now a 2025. I like the hint of black on the front of the hood now, and I also had the paint colored fender flares / protection and it made the truck look more like an "old man's" truck to me; the flat black plastic is more durable and gives it a bit more aggressive look in my opinion. I like it better personally - my 2025 Ultimate in Sterling Silver with the 6.2L ... awesome truck, loving it
