    How many times in your life have you admitted you were wrong?

    It must have be traumatic. Do you want to talk about it?

    No, I'm good. Thanks for offering help with some therapy though. Nice to see you care.

    I didn't want the sunroof/moonroof but it came with it. I'm 6'6" tall and have about 1 inch of head clearance. But I've read on here that many of the tall guys take the truck to an upholstery shop and have a few inches of foam shaved off and also contour it to fit a little better. $200 is average on price. I'm going to do this eventually.

    Go test drive an auto, and youll never think twice about it again. Manual is more powerful and funner to drive. Just dumb they dont offer push start or the door handle lock/unlock.

    I have no regrets about my choice, I researched it on TW first. This kept me from buying a Ford Ranger, "the only good thing I can say about my Ranger is it cost less to buy" convinced me.

    Problems with my truck:
    1. Stupid "objects may be closer than they appear" passenger side mirror, fixed with Aspherical Blind Spot Mirrors sold by @SMKYTXN.
    2. Stupid ABS, I need to install a switch to disable it.
    3. Useless "stability control", like I know I'm skidding, I'll take care of it, I don't need an alarm and a flashing light on the dash to tell me I'm not pointed in the direction I want to go.
    4. HVAC blower resistor kept loosing contact due to scorched contacts in the plug, fixed the last time by bending the contacts with a small screw driver and applying dielectric silicone grease. At least it's easy to get to and not buried in the dash somewhere. Minor problem easy to fix.

    Not bad considering a chevy would probably have collapsed into a flaming pile of junk by now.

    I had major buyers remorse when I got home with my SR, after determining it didn't have cruise and intermittent wipers. Did those two updates yesterday and now I'm happy as a clam. Going nuts trying to decide on wheels though.

    I splurged for the pro and I have no regrets. I has a nice trade in though. If I were financing the total truck I would have definitely gone cheaper. Lucky me.

    LED lamps, tinted windows, black letter tailgate, rear sway, thinking about step bar
    I've had my '17 Limited 4x4 in quicksand for about 6 weeks now. I spent 8 days in Yellowstone/Badlands area so I haven't drove it much the past week. I love it. No regrets about the purchase but I am doing some mods for me. I don't OR so adding a rear sway as soon as it gets here. Tinted windows, LED change, and probably some Weathertech liners. Planning on ECT always on mod also. Two things that bother me: transmission shifting/power and driving position. Hoping to get used to it.
    Btw I love the colors. Quicksand gets plenty of attention by people since we don't have many in the area. I like how it changes colors and isn't just a plain tan/beige. When people see that Hickory leather they fall in love immediately!

    No regrets here. 2017 BBP DCSB SR5 4X4. V6/Auto and tow package. Whats not to love! I still pinch myself every time I get in it :)
    I love the blue, but my 2nd choice was silver.
    I like the limiteds, but I got a great deal on my SR5 and it has everything I need. But those wheels on the limiteds make me a little jealous!

    No regrets on the aesthetics of mine (2016 access cab TRD Sport), but my understanding is that the suspension/ride is softer on the TRD Off Road, and there are times when my truck is really stiff and jarring.
