    What is the difference between these 2 trucks besides the floormats? One is 7545A the other is 7545C.

    Looks like the cost of the Total equipment protection are a little different between the two and one has carpeted floor mats and the other one has all weather floor mats!

    What I don't understand is the "base" price not including options is different but they appear to be the same truck. The truck with the more expensive floormats is cheaper.

    This is from the same dealer. They don't even know what the difference is.

    So they are essentially the same base truck, but the pricing dropped $200 from A to C?

    That would seem to be the case. I'd check the info at the thread the quote came from.

    You are absolutely correct. The dealer just called me back.

    Bumper ends are chrome *unless* you get the P&T package with Blind Spot Monitors and Parking Assist which gives you color-matched rear bumper ends. I suppose the radar-based BSM doesn't like chromium plating, even on plastic.

    There are other wording / descriptive structure differences between the two.

    You have the answer already I believe.

    "A" signifies first month of production, "C" signifies third month of production.
