Always look for the truck with your options (plus any additional) on the lot at the closest dealer before ordering and you will avoid all of this nonsense.
That's easier said then done. Dealers seem to order all the same level of trucks with very similar equipment. For example, I've yet to find an F250 with the gas engine, 4.3 gears, 5th wheel prep and extended towing mirrors. The 4.3 gears are non-existent on a gas truck as far as I have seen. And when I plan to spend $50,000, I will get the truck I want and need and not what some guy behind a computer screen at the dealership thinks I need when they place their stock orders.
