    i would never let someone to sell me truck without knowing all options and prices they cost.
    some equipment provide more for less money, some is bit questionable if it makes any sense at all.
    lot depends on type of work you do (for example i hate curtain that comes in front of bed, but if you do bulk load/construction/timber, you need it), lot depends on personal preference of driver or market preference (here you always need 2 beds, otherwise it is difficult to sale it used, almost always wide cab for same reason).
    my best friend bought truck with solostar few months ago, he says this is his fav part of truck, he will never buy regular cab layout anymore, while some people dont like it. have customer who spent 240.000€ on timber truck, while typical timber truck cost about 150.000€, we spend whole work day talking about each option, he pick perfect combination, things you never see in truck like dual mass flywheel, but dont have fridge as driver dont drink cold.

    Steering must be horrendous when loaded.
