Hey, there's a few of us perfectly happy with our Tradesman/XL trim and would rather spend the money on engine and suspension rather than cheek and palm warmers...
You are a perfect example of what I am talking about. Some here talk about their "need" for a diesel in their Laramie optioned truck yet they never talk about the "need" for the $10k Laramie option from the Tradesman. The Laramie package and diesel engine are both options that people want to have. Some think the Laramie option is more important than the diesel option while others like yourself think the diesel option is more important than the Laramie option.
Yet I have never heard you talk about how you didn't get the Laramie option because you didn't "need" it or talk about how you would never "recoupe" the money spent on the Laramie option in fuel savings. It would sound silly if you did just as it sounds silly when someone does the same when talking about the diesel engine option. You get it because you want it and sometimes you don't want it bad enough to spend the money to get it or you don't want it at all, and there is nothing wrong with that.
