Yeah and that was with the incentive, but I picked mostly top of the line stuff.

The funny thing is, Dodge and Chevy combined don't have as many options as Ford.

Thats pretty much what our new King Ranch cost, we got the red one, I don't remember what the color was called. I think my dad got every option except for the adjustable pedals.

Thats what I used to get my F-350 Larait DRW. I got every option including a moonroof
It makes it much easier to just print it out, and bring the list to the dealer and show him what you want in your truck

I use to do it all the time I hate how they changed it and made if you picked one option you got to get another to go along with like sliding rear window you also have to select privacy glass.

Dang, that site is dog-slow--I prefer cars.com.

Dream machine 1:

2003 Econoline E-350 Commercial standard-length cargo van, panel sides
7.3 PSD/4R100 slushpump
Black paint
Gray vinyl interior
Class 4 towing package
4.10 limited-slip
245/75R16E Steeltexes on steel wheels
AM/FM cassette stereo, 2 speakers
Sliding side door
Cruise control
Hubcap delete
Mirror delete (I'll add west-coast towing mirrors)
List price: $32,070 *sigh*

Dream machine #2:
(Cancelled, because you can't get a Mach 1 or Cobra without leather seats)

A commuter I really, really would like:
2003 F-150 extended-cab/longbed XL (157" wheelbase)
Shadow gray with "graphite" vinyl bench seat
Work truck group
Towing package
Tilt & cruise
235/70R16 tires on steel wheels
4.6/5-speed (wish I could get a 5.4/5-speed!)
3.55 limited-slip
6050lb GVWR (can't get a 5-speed 7700)
AM/FM cassette
A/C
MSRP of $23,785 *sigh again*

Ya I use that thing too! It's pretty cool until I realize what it would cost me! But you can trick it! I told it I was trading in my 1989 Aerostar. I said it was worth $30000 and it would only let me make it worth $1 less than the NEW vehicle I priced was worth! So my BRAND NEW Ranger should cost me $1!! Sweet, eh?!?! LMAO!
