Hypo Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I've joined a few forums since ordering my truck back in August. I ordered mine knowing I was gonna replace alot of stuff with after market and built a "basic" truck with strong bones. Only thing I needed from the factory was the truck, power train of choice ( Godzilla/3.55LS ), dual batteries, 397 amp alt, upgrade front suspension, markers, ...... But I've seen alot of posts of people ordering blacked out Tremor packages and replacing tire/rim and other things day 1. Wouldn't be more cost efficient to order a lower lvl and add? I personally have a price of $43K for the truck and that leaves me with alot of money left to play with. Just didn't know if I was missing something and messed up ordering like I did.

Mojave_Idiot Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The front limited slip diff and crawl control are exclusive to the Tremor, and the takeoffs probably sell pretty well. It gets more tenuous the more you replace, I see folks replacing shocks and springs and radius arms and all that so it starts to feel a little redundant, but the LSD up front along with the modes in the truck are something, along with the modest suspension upgrade.

Ok, I'm good then. I don't need a 4WD, so none of that would've mattered to me. It makes sense tho, just don't agree with how companies make you order higher to get 1 or 2 options you desire. Kinda like the way I would gladly pay them for sync4 in the XL I ordered, they think I'll give in and upgrade to alot of stuff I don't want just to get it.

There was a study done by an OEM on the number of orderable configurations. They had a ridiculous 23,000 different configurations. The costs associated with that is astronomical. I don't know how many different combo's SD can be ordered in, but I'd bet it blows that number away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypo Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 If they happen to offer more options in the XL trim in the next generation, I can always get a new truck. Cool thing about buying cheap is you can pay in cash and never be upside down in payoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
