I have an optioned Tradesman too. I wanted a heavy duty truck and was looking at the gas engine models. I found a used (10K miles) 2015 Tradesman with the Cummins for about the same price as a new gasser. I couldn't turn it down.
The Tradesman does not offer telescoping steering wheel or lumbar adjustments in the seats. Those are the only things that I wish were offered. GOBS of power in this sucker. Exhaust brake works great. Our truck had the chrome appearance (bigger wheels and tires are a HUGE bonus), keyless entry, cruise, carpets, etc.
I like Bluetooth radio, but my truck came with the base model radio without Bluetooth. I have a Bluetooth adaptor in my work car that I plan to bring on longer trips when we tow. I have a pinched nerve in my lower back and can have excruciating back pain, especially on longer trips. My wife has a soft feather pillow that I tuck behind my back and it really helps alleviate the pain. That is WAY cheaper than getting a more expensive trim line.
