What's up with that dodge?? Why not offer that to someone who wants to pay? I can see the 10 speaker system becuase there is no room, but what about heated seats...

Grrr.

not really a reason other than that's how they are doing it with the way things get bundled together. heated seats arn't that big of a deal in a reg cab. the heat at your feet on the lowest fan speed is enough to cook that cab. trust me on that.

Good point man...it should have the same "fans" as the crew cab. Cool and heat FAST!

Now I just need to hear this 6-speaker system.

So, it is a 6 speaker system? I'm hoping it does sound good, I'm not real interested in upgrading the speakers. I dig the fact that the cd player will read mp3s.

Take my word for it. When it's -20F heated seats are good in any vehicle of any size.

It all ties into what they think a customer will want with what model. They figure someone who buys a regular cab, stick, with the v6 and 4x4 is using the truck for work, or as a fleet vehicle.

They figure the person that wants, 4 doors, be able to seat 5+ people, nav, 20" chrome wheels, etc, will be the person that wants the heated leather seats.

Its sort of like how GM designed two totally different interiors for there new full size trucks. The work class interior, and the luxury class.

It's getting worse...

Now that theres two kinds of customer, the Farmer/laborer demographic that needs the capability, and on the other hand, the white collar guy who wants to pull his boat around/ atv or whatever on the weekend, but wants to be "comfortable" during the week, because he commutes. Please...

This is single handedly the reason for the demise of the pickup. It becomes more like a car every generation. The bed continues to get smaller, and the truck cab gets bigger.

I want a solid front axle man. Cmon now you taking away torsion bar front ends for what? Coil over shock strut setup? Get the f*ck outa here.

Heated seats. lol.

So newbish. Girls sh*t man.

Anyway thats my rant.

Sucks they don't offer whatever you want though.
