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.
When I bought mine did the same thing, went to the fleet guy and we sat down and he got out a book and started at page 1. He read the option and I said yes or no and he flipped the page read that one and so on until we got to the last page. He gave me the price and I gave him $100 and he ordered the truck and said it takes 6 to 10 weeks. Only problem was I ordered the truck in Feb of 99 and they never built the truck. After 10 weeks I would call every few days to see what the build date was. Then one day he called and said they arent going to build your truck. It will be a 2000 same price. So they built it that fall. Seams there were about 50,000 trucks they didnt build that year. They were the first ones built when the new ones came out
