X2 I also have a Tradesman, but what I call a "loaded Tradesman". When I was shopping I found some dealers versions of them were true work trucks and some, like mine, were virtually a SLT.
I'd also make sure it has the 5th wheel prep.
Originally was looking for a tradesman (or ST in Canada) but then discovered that there was no way you could get a drivers seat with adjustable lumbar support. Maybe that's a Canadian thing, dunno.
Some folks just use a pillow, but with my lousy back I wanted/needed more than that, so went up to an SLT with the electric adjustable lumbar. We bought off the lot and also ended up with the SLT Lux option which has several nice features (fancy display with current gear displayed, leather wrapped steering wheel, ...).
Another great option for the lower end 2500 models is the limited slip ("anti-spin") rear end. Mine came with the Snow Chief package. It's standard in the 3500s and high end models.
