What.. you no want 40" TV screen in your truck????? Too bad.. we don't sell the base model anymore, only models with mandatory packages...

sounds like the RV industry..

Yep. That’s why our Suburban has a sunroof. A sunroof that will have a Yakima Skybox over it as soon as I can get it installed (I’m picking up the roof crossbars tomorrow).

I can get what I want, like the chassis cab I mentioned earlier, I just have to finish it myself.

We have a 2004 F150 XLT 5.4 6.5' bed extended cab, which pulled our camper okay, but we had almost no payload capacity left over. So, we looked fora new truck, found a 2022 F250 STX 7.3 crew cab. Truck came with snowplow/camper prep and Pro backup. The thing that sold me was the payload capacity which is 3187lb. Also has the upfitter switches with 397-amp alternator(s). 59k MSRP. I love the truck even though it's not an XLT. Has heated mirrors and a few other bells and whistles. I just couldn't see paying over 65k to 75k just to have all the fancy stuff. It basically is a upgraded work truck. I couldn't be happier.
