If you need a truck for work (just about all the trucks you see are only driven around town), get a base model with no bells and whistles.
The options inflate the price a lot.
Even so they are not cheap.
I need a truck, but spend so much time in it that I want the bells and whistles. Well, actually I want the comfortable seat, and you don’t get that in a base model. I put about 25k miles a year on my truck and spend a lot of idle time in it as well. I thought about switching to a gas this next time, but am still going to go with the diesel on the truck I ordered.
