Can you be to Picky?
When shopping for a truck there are a lot of personal preferences...some items fall into the need category others the nice to have category, So my question as subjective as it is, when do you settle? ...

What I don't get is the "DON'T want" part. People will angrily complain because a truck has options they steadfastly DON'T want. People will angrily pay more for a truck with fewer options, or for a custom-ordered truck they have to wait weeks/months for, in order to get it without options they steadfastly DON'T want.
What's not to want?
Past the engine, transmission, tires, steering wheel, fat pedal, and skinny pedal, there really isn't anything on a truck that I would consider so obtrusive or inconvenient that I would NOT want it to the point of turning down a smoking deal.
In fact, everything on a truck past those basics is designed FOR convenience.
I'm OCD to an extent, but there is no way I would just let some convenience option that I didn't want and end up not using grate away at me until I turned into a frothing mad hatter. More often than not I end up using the option and wondering how I ever lived without it, OR, I wish I had spent the money on the option in the first place.
Case in point, my current DD has crank windows and manual locks. 11-1/2 years now, and I've lost count of the number of times I wished I had power windows so I could talk to someone who has walked up to the passenger side of the truck. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to put the truck in park, undo my seatbelt, and lean across to unlock the passenger door to let someone in.
When I bought the truck I still ascribed to Dad's old saying, "More to go wrong."
