Regular cab, SWB, 6.5' box, tow pkg, locking diff, vinyl interior.  Only other option was tinted rear window. It's a great truck. Have 11 k miles on it so far.  Metro Atlanta  Ford dealers were/are a PITA. I ordered and purchased about an hour North. Saved about 10% off MSRP. It's the basic work truck. Seats are comfortable for 6-8 hour drive. I could only do 2 hrs in the rental Tacoma. With no load, it gets 23-26 mpg on the highway. Depending on cruise control setting ;-). I'd be inclined towards a gooseneck trailer if I towed a lot. More maneuverable. Hidden(under bed) kit is available from Kurt.Semi-retired and looking for the boat to tow. Used are selling for more than they did new or need a lot of work. I'm leaning toward a new boat. Local 14' Jon packages with 25 hp and trailer run about $20k, by the time accessories and tax are added, and come with Merc. I'd prefer a Yamaha 2-stroke but would have to import one, along with spares.</blockquote>
