Bedlams comments on ordering have occurred to me too. In 88 when the new body style GM came out, I could not find an 8 lug ext cab. Dealer ordered it for me, in process, going from a cheyanne to a scottsdale pkg cost me $75 or some such number, but got a $600 rebate. So the higer trim was a better deal.
Then when I traded in in 96 for a crew cab. I went with a base silverado as I added just enough options that it too was cheaper than a scottsdale, but I could not get the carper delete due to the diesel. The 350/454 options would have gotten me vinyl seats. But the carpet was mandatory as it had better noise insulation. I was probably the ONLY 5 sp manual silverado crew cab around for many years!
For a lot of us that are contractors/owners, we like some of the basic nicety stuff, like cruise, tilt wheels, AC etc. BUT we do not want all the other bells and whistles that do not hold up as well, or get destroyed but us sitting in seats with mud etc on us. Or if you have 4 kids like I do.....to say bubble gum, spilled drinks etc will not get on the floors or seats.....that is a far fetched thought! Happens when you least expect it.
