I needed 4WD and the new pickup we bought has a 24" ground to doorsill height that was more than a little difficult to manage. The running boards or side steps as they are often called changed this to a 18" ground to doorsill distance and made it much easier to get into the cab for both my wife and myself. And I got the dealer to include the chrome side steps at no charge - he wanted to sell the truck.
OEM tow mirrors are better than the aftermarket - got the dealer to install these at no charge.
Seat heaters are a nice to have but the women love them.
No manufacturer will have a CB radio as less than one person in a 1000 would order it. Be happy with the Bluetooth and hands free use of your cell phone that is integrated with the new cars and trucks.
The tow package is a bargain with the added trans cooler, hitch, and other upgrades that are included.
