Some real good advice from one who has just learned!
Go to each dealer, and don't ask to see the truck or what it can do.
Just ask to see the manual that comes with it.
Then don't bother to read the manual, but buy the truck on whoever has the THINNEST manual.
Believe me it will save you much anguish later when every time you are trying to put a light on or find out which widget does what, you have to pull into a rest area and leaf through nine thousand pages before giving up.
And another thing: Get the one with the worst gas miles per gallon. That would be the heaviest one. Then when you lean on the hood or push in on a fender it won't dent or crumple like cardboard.
Good luck, I won't tell you which 2014 I bought, since I don't want to ruin your fun
