Retirement? Heated seats for one. Use them year round for making a sore olf back feel better.
Where the real problem comes is the friken packages and interlocked options. Sometimes you cant get those heated seats unless you also get the "Microclimate package" with a heated wheel and cooled seats. Or maybe you need leather, or whatever. Sometimes they don't even make sense. "Choosing the heated seat option deletes the 20 inch wheel option"

No not at my age. Drop truck off in PF - 50min drive each way - for Linex and pick up at end of day, find someone to pick me up. Crawl under truck drilling holes crap dropping in my eyes for running board install. Let me pay $1000 in the option and I’m much happier. Yeah in my younger days I do it myself.

Note I said "maker". I'm fine with paying somebody else to work. But no way would I get spray in bedliner done by the dealer, same for running boards. Now, were they factory options, thats different. But asa dealer installed options, even if they hire that work out to Trick TRucks, they are a middleman you don't need, IMO. When the wife was looking at Mavericks, took me about an hour to find the maker of virtually every accessories they made and see it was less expensive.
Had the local Jeep place diagnose a clunk that only happened over bumps and starting and stopping as rod knock. Needed a new engine they said. Screw that.
I was under the impression that DW was asking how to fill out the order form for a new truck. Tow package, thats one to order. Usually comes with stuff you cant get later or cost more to add than the factory package.

Again a 35 minute drive to Leonardtown to drop truck off for the day, finding a ride. I’ve used trick trucks in the past but the older I get, I realize my time is better spent sitting on my ass, as I’ve been accused of…

Ram has a truck bed option that includes bedliner, lights, and tie down system for about $900 - factory option. The last Linex we had done 4 years ago was $600 plus time and gas for drop off. So for $300 more I get lights and upgraded tie-down system - well worth it.

AC. No refrigerator. That’s an option on the newest tractors, that I can’t afford!

Oh crap I’m thinking of D&G custom. I’ve used both. I guess I can use the bus system to get to GMR from Ridge. Thx!

Is that another tranny at Gilligan's? I thought he went through them all a few days ago?
