Ordering a new truck is frustating
It bothers me as to what options can't be ordered with other options. I understand some options require things like axle ratio with HD towing, but some of the other limitations frustrate me.

Exactly. When I bought my Tundra in 2010 I wanted a relatively base model half ton with the bigger engine. GM wouldn't let me buy the 6.2 V8 in a base truck. I had to get a pretty high optioned truck which was heavier (less payload) and more expensive. That was annoying.
I get that they want to sell certain packages, which are bigger money makers for them. I'd imagine that most people buy off the lot and only a small percentage actually order to spec. Seems they could offer options "a la carte" to the few that actually order them. They might make a little less money, but they might sell a few more trucks...
