No Sliding Rear Window?

Ive always liked the looks of a regular cab. Ive been shopping pretty hard for a couple months now and going back and forth between a regualar cab gas and crew cab diesel.
I figure I have two options;
Trade my truck in on a 55K crew cab diesel and have to pay/finance 35k
Buy a new reg cab gas truck for 30k to DD and still have my crew cab duramax to haul the boat/toys around on the weekend if there is more than me and the gf going somewhere.
1st world problems I know...

I used to have "extra" cars, but it amounted to expensive registrations every year, more insurance, and more maintenance.

Sorry - no offense meant. To me, the traditional "sliding" window is the kind that slides, not raises and lowers.

I have a Honda accord ive been driving to work and I hate it, my commute isn't too far so gas mileage isn't a problem.

it's paid for, and it's in too good of shape to drive every day, I cringe if it gets rained on, and don't even think about taking it out of the shop if theres a chance of snow or if it hasn't rained since the last snow and there's still salt on the roads.

I guess I'm confused.

It all depends on how you treat your truck. I think if you never drive a vehicle because you're too concerned you'll get it dirty or mess it up, you don't fully enjoy it. I think you can buy a new, expensive vehicle and so long as you frequently wash it and detail the interior, and maybe undercoat it with Fluid Film, you can drive it for a decade or more while still looking to be in excellent shape.
I think a new, 2WD XL Ford is still a pretty nice truck.

Rear sliders are great on regular cabs. SC and CC need to be electric to be practical. My arms are not long enough.

First post. Been hanging out reading and looking to come back (from a 2500 04.5 Ram) to a new Ford '17 250. I am (unfortunately) one of those who likes a regular cab and do not have a need for a larger cab with more seating. But as MadWolf mentions, Ford (as well as GM and Ram) treat R/C people as if they had leprosy. No leather seats, no console, no upgrade interiors, limited wheel choices, no power or heated seats, etc, etc. For the life of me I cannot figure out "WHY"? I bet the front seats with leather and power from a Lariat/King/Limited would bolt right up to a regular cab. The same with wheel choices. Just what would be wrong (or hard for Ford) to have a higher trim level than just XLT on a regular cab? How about a Lariat at least, which would open up many nice options for us R/C people. All it would require is option codes for the regular cab, all the parts are the same. I might have to get a job at the Ford factory so I can do the bolt in's. Otherwise looking forward to ordering my '17 250.
