What we got
After weeks of dithering, we finally did it yesterday. We were looking at Ram 1500s and Ford F-150s, despite really wanting a diesel, but we just couldn't justify the size of the 2500s and F-250s for...

:) Hi, when searching for my truck there were things that I had to have.
F-150 Supercrew cab W/ Ecoboost 3.5 L V-6
Max tow package, mostly for the towing mirrors
Cloth Buckets with a center consul
Back-up camera, 3:73 electronic locking differential
Four wheel drive, 36 gallon gas tank.
Spray on bed liner
Blue Jeans or Ingot Silver paint
Originally 6.5' bed, but changed that to the 5.5' bed
I wanted cloth bucket seats, not bench, and a center consul because my Lincoln has leather seats and they are not as comfortable as the cloth seats were in my 96 Explorer. So I wanted to go back to cloth. I did not get the spray in bed liner, but had it done locally at a Line-X dealer. We were unable to find what I wanted in Blue or Silver so I now have three white vehicles at home. The long bed would just fit in my garage by about 2"s And the more I thought about it the short bed would work better for us.
There were also things that I would not have.
Deal breakers were a Moon roof, seven lug wheels, and Black paint. (and a few other colors)
Things that I got that I might not have ordered.
Off Road package, tail gate step, HID headlights, LT tires.
My truck would most likely have a payload of 1,900 lbs, but I think the skid plates that came with the Off Road package cost me 155 lbs, making mine 1,745 lbs payload.
