    Heated mirrors are the #1 thing. Towing in the rain sucks without them.

    Vinyl floor, moon roof and leather seats would have been nice.

Backup cam in the tailgate handle mod.
    Wish I didn't get that 4x4 option! Who am I kidding, I haven't seen any snow, mud or shit to offload in in a while. Besides, I lift my truck 2" and had to have 4x4 replace because that faulty front diff! Need more lift but not forthe cost of another diff!
