What’s everyone’s 1 option they wish they would have ordered or waited out for? Mine is Rambox! I ordered early and took delivery in May, when it wasn’t available

Sometimes I wish I went REBEL (just looks cool as hell), but limited suits my transportation needs best. No regrets.

I thought about a rebel also but I know I would have lifted it more and still did different wheels and tires on top of the added price to go Rebel!

Not a huge deal but the ORG. I originally did order it the first time but being a tow mirror victim I ordered a second truck and the ORG was restricted at that time and I did not want to wait for it to become available again. My second order however did come with surround view and I went ahead and got the pano roof and E-torque on this one which I did not originally. Overall I would say it worked in my favor, being a tow mirror victim allowed me to basically give up the ORG for surround view, a pano roof, and E-torque. I got the protection group anyway so I guess it was a blessing in disguise!

360 Camera, I ordered the tow package and killed out the 360 camera that came with the level 2 equipment group. Once I figured this out it hurt pretty bad. $2000 to get the camera then paid $400 more to have it taken off the truck. The camera function looks pretty sweet.

Granite Crystal was my first choice, and what I have on order... however, I really liked the Rugged Brown and wish it was available along with the Mountain Brown Interior.

I bought mine off the lot. Dealer gave it to me to take home over night; I drove it to work the next day, & by the end of the day I decided it wasn't going back. It was 99% what I wanted, with no wait for a special order.

If I could add any factory option I wanted, and wouldn't have had to wait a couple months or more for a special order, I would have added:

33 gallon fuel tank (they all should have this at no extra charge; if there's room, put it in every truck, can't cost them anything to do)
3.92 gears (major tow capacity increase, didn't do my research well enough, but I can get by as is)
Rear wheelhouse liners (should be standard on all of them, why is this optional anyway?)

I like your thinking on the 33gal - that's why I bought it. BUT, auto manufacturers will always have a smaller tank standard as long as the EPA exists. MPG testing is done with a full tank and that extra weight detracts from MPG. Simple as that.
Plus there are folks who are keeping an eye on GVW and a full, larger tank takes away from payload.

Same thing happened to me. When I found out it did not have the cameras, (after two confirmation emails from my sales guy that said it was ordered properly) I had the discussion that I wanted the right mirrors put on the truck and they insisted it couldn't be done. I wanted to know the cost to do it and told them it could be stripped down to a frame and be done, cost would be ridiculous but NOT to say that it couldn't be done. They took $1000 off of the price and I got quiet but this thread has woken the feelings of "DAMMIT" back up. I ordered this baby with EVERYTHING that I wanted... spared no expense and no cameras. There was a thread somewhere else where some guys were playing with the idea of aftermarket cameras on the tow mirrors. I lost track of how far they got.
