First of all I'm taking a guess on what you are using it for? For me I never, ever order a truck based on what I want, I go to a dealer that has a good selection and willing to negotiate for something on the lot.

When I got my last one (an '01 Ram 2500 4x4 quad cab, cummins, 5 speed; just turned 100,000 (100,018 tonight) I went to a dealer 65 miles from me who had 50 new diesels on the lot and prices $1000 over invoice. I told the salesman I wanted 5 speed, quad cab, diesel, all the springs they could put under one, and a/c. Any other option (including cloth seats and a radio) is wasted $$ for me. He showed me about 6 that met what I wanted, I did have to get a couple of little options to get one in grey with an 8' bed but it was worth it not to order one and have to pay list. I know some folks say that gas trucks are a better buy than diesels but I love mine. One thing they dont account for is the resale value, a gas truck here wont bring over $8K with 100,000 miles, local dealer has diesels with 150,000 for $20,000 and cant keep them. When a new one is under $28K I cant see not buying new.
