    A good seat.

    The current truck I’m driving now had a *s-word* seat in it.

    The last truck I drove for 5 years, was being sold off.
    I grabbed the seat I really liked and swapped between the 2 trucks.

    A good seat is the most important part of the truck. :cool:

    My favorite amenity is there’s no sleeper. All kidding aside, my favorite amenities are the 10 speed manual and the lift axle which is pretty handy.

    You know, I don't ever remember a tube radial, all tube types were bias ply, and conversely, I don't remember any bias ply tubeless.
    While I'm at it, ,,,air dryers, suspension droppers, air ride, sleeper was nice, but not applicable for all, air slide 5th wheels, radiator shutters, A/C, speed control, "E-Z" clutches, 500+ horse motors, did I miss any, old timers?

    I remember when those came out, it was the "hot" setup. I don't think they took well to vibration, tho.

    First one was the APU.
    Then came the inverter.
    Then the microwave.
    Then the toaster oven
    but most?
    THE SINK! Gamechanger.

    A sink would be awesome. A place to wash and prep vegetables ( @MACK E-6 ), knowing no one had spat giant loogies in it or washed their feet in it.

    Pretty easy to make if you have a drawer you can give up.

    I've considered something custom like that.
