    With a DD16 and 18 speed.

    Because I could care less for

    Lane departure
    Adaptive cruise control
    Forward braking collision avoidance
    Prewired for qualcomm or peoplenet
    Driver facing cams
    Tripac apu

    On another note.

    The battery powered hvac could be nice.

    But can the ac be converted from 1234 to 134?
    Cuz 1234 is hecka expensive.

    I could be wrong but I don't think 600 horses can be ordered with the 15. Or maybe it can.
    Been a couple years since I talked to FL about it.

    And the 16 has been out long enough now it outta have the bugs worked out by now.

    You would think that. But I doubt it.

    Looks like you can.
    Special order maybe. On the manual trans.
    I know the DD15 and the D12 are standard.
    Mine had to be special ordered because I wanted a 13 instead of auto. When the last boss was ordering replacement trucks.

    I don't like the aluminum ground cables. And starter cables.

    So ... you guys assume things and never go to a dealer, sit down with a sales dweeb and work out a truck with the options you want?

    You start with a dealer.

    Yes. A very smart one.

    Why order something you're never going to need? The truck isn't going OTR.

    Think of the money saved on principle and interest and repairs.

    It's an idea I'm kicking around. Since everything around here is over 10 years, has over 1 mill miles and costs almost as much. And most don't want a truck older then 2012 model year.
