I wish I had the heated seats - even in FL, they feel soooo good. Nothing like it for a sore back. I have the sunroof, rear power slider and 20" wheels. Wish I had the cab clearance lights too - I think they look cool - almost got one with them but I waited and it was gone.

There are 2 others in my small town which is surprising. It is kind of good though so I don't get blamed for everything I do (honking, passing, etc)

I have most of the listed extras but not the cab clearance lights and the
leather wrap on the center console. And I do love the heated seats. Very
nice on the back before and after surgery. Like everyone that has it the power
rear window is a true PITA when it starts to stick between cleaning and lubrications.
But I do like to open the moon (sun) roof and the back glass and let the air
flow when it hot out and not run the A/C.

Do they all have the captain chairs and center console? I remember seeing an interior shot a while back.

The captain chairs and center console seem to be one of the more common
things and the color. What I would really like is a Mustang in the Blaze Yellow.The last year that they came in that color was 06. But then again how would that look
Yellow truck and yellow Mustang in the driveway.

BTW The Blaze Yellow color code is D6 if I read things right

This is the best thread ever - I was going to buy my wife a matching yellow mountain bike for Xmas - she was not amused - if it wasn't a girl frame, I would have got it for myself

I'm not a fan of the cab clearance lights, I guess I never really understood them. I would have loved to get the heated seats but I wasn't in the mood to get picky considering I got my truck with 80,000 miles on it for 15k with extras. If I want heated seats I'll get a set from another truck and just put my seat material on them since the heated seats are self-contained in the seats. The moonroof was another thing I was fine with not having. I have one on my Audi and NEVER use it. The 20" wheels I didn't want either, I like the 18's with 35's on them much better.

For the guys wanting a matching yellow set - it's a nice touch. I'm hoping to get a 3rd yellow vehicle to complete the fleet. I've got my fast small car and my big diesel truck, just need to find something in between.

I have an 05 in Yellow. As far as I know, 2005 was the only year they offered a yellow paint option that was not an Amarillo Edition. It looks exactly the same. Rims, Steps, Bumber, everything except the dash gauges, seat lettering and box decal.Everyone thinks it is though.

Yes, in 05 they had a "fake" Amarillo. They didn't have the box badges, lettering on the seats, chrome mirror caps, or multi-function display cluster. Other than that I believe it was the same.

I see two things on the one that mine does not have.
Chrome door handles and chrome rocker panels

I really don't like that much chrome at all. I have more than I like.

I agree the chrome rocker panels and door handles are yucky. I myself am debating getting rid of my chrome stuff and doing body color but I have a feeling it would be way too much yellow. Has anyone here done black bumpers, grille, headlights, or anything like that?
