When it comes to low-budget hauling, the Tradesmen trim is king. Starting at less than $31,000, it can be specced with either engine option and max out towing capacity at nearly 11,000 pounds. However, it is extremely sparsely outfitted with only manual air-conditioning, vinyl upholstery, rubberized flooring, a SiriusXM-capable five-inch touchscreen display, and a six-speaker sound system. It also doesn't offer much in the way of advanced feature availability, and it loses its base short-box option this year. The only standard driver assists are automatic headlights, cruise control, and a backup camera.
