Oh, I KNOW there are millions - that's why I just used the example of 14 options.
but I doubt that everyone is aware of the 10 million combinations available.Another thing to consider.
Does anyone know what percentage of new trucks are special ordered by the retail customer?
Could that percentage be too low to support the billions of combinations available pre-2009?

The reality is that most people will pay for a package to get what they want VERSUS not buying the truck. Therefore, Ford makes more profit.
I'm always amazed by things like "I'd pay $2,000 to get Sync 3 over Sync 2" or "$4,000 for Navigation is clearly worth it to me".
Even those of us (me) that laugh at these people buy a model that gives them options that have no interest in to get options that they want. It's human nature. I make a list of must-haves and then see what I'm going to get forced to buy to get them, and sometimes make them nice-to-haves.
Our 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid had 1 trim level.
Used to a lot worse in the days when Japanese cars came over with 1 or 2 models (hi and low).

That's when I told him "No, I don't think you want to do that. That's 2 to the 34th power, or over 17 billion possible combinations."

I would love to see the part # book for your connector.
