No sense in limiting yourself to something other than what you really want if you're talking new truck. They're not rare. Find the color and gears and equipment that you want. Unless you like impulse buying.
Outside of ordering I can't find one that fits what I want. I've looked within 500 miles of me and the closest is a Ruby Red Lariat FX4 in Boise ID. Other than the sunroof it's about right but $6000 more than the White one.
I've been looking at them since I started looking at this camper and the main reason I did not bump up to one was the difficulty in finding one the right price and configuration. I liked my SRW, modded it up and was happy. But I'm nearing 54 (geez is't just a week and a half away!) and maybe that's why I'm thinking about the safety more. I also have trouble with my arms (tendon issues and arthritis) so don't have the strength and reflexes I did when I was younger (and thought I still had LOL).....so I'm finally thinking it's time to go that route.
Plus, the wife always wants to add something more to the camper each trip, to which I am always saying "well, it's adding weight" and perhaps this lasts trip, a short 1 hr drive from home, when she wanted a FULL tank of water for the weekend I just sorta went "why am I doing this?".
14000lbs GVWR vs the 11400GVWR I have now is a big selling point. No need to worry anymore :D Load it up, let the wife add what she wants and head on down the road.
Not sure about the 4.10's as I think the mileage will suffer but it would pull a house I suppose, not that I'd need that any time soon but who knows.
