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.

I dunno, seemed easy to me. Went to the fleet guy, we went through the order screen and I selected all the options I wanted. 5 weeks later the truck was here. Was able to get the ultimate lariat package with all the options, and wasn't forced to get the moonroof (which I didn't want).
I will say the HD trucks (Fords at least) seem to be the most configurable out there.
You may have gotten everything that you wanted but you did not get max payload package. To get it you have to forfeit a lot of other stuff. I am little sore that Ford loves to advertise the highest payload in the industry then makes it very hard to get and requires compromises if you do get it.
Does does Ford still take stuff off their trucks that nobody uses in order to calculate their max payload numbers? You know, the center console, spare tire, radio and other such things most trucks don't have?
