1. Heated Steering wheel
2. Electric Locking Tailgate
3. USB in center consol (have my own due to USB2 Mod)
4. Ambient Lighting available in Luxury Package
5. Boost Guage (even if it was an option in the digital panel in the guages)
6. Self tinting driverside mirror with the sensor in the side mirror (too many times the car does not shine it's lights in the middle rear view mirror but they are in the driverside mirrors)
7. Front Parking Sensors
8. DVD system that can play digital files (.avi, .mp4, etc.) from external sources (USB drive, iPod, etc.)

Most of these would be fairly easy and cheap to add I would think from the factory.

Some kind of bed storage that opens to the outside but doesn't take away from in-bed space. Kinda like the toolboxes put under flatbeds.

And to the guys wanting front sensors, I could've sworn it was an option but I know I wouldn't be able to find it again.

I think you can get them aftermarket from Echo Master.

I agree with the grab handle and maybe larger glove box standard. All the other things would be optional or only standard on the higher end models. For an XLT (which I have) I'm happy with everything except the lack of drivers handle, and auto up/down windows.

With many pickup truck owners using tonneau covers these days I agree that bed lighting should at least be optional from the factory on the base model trucks and standard on the higher end ones.

Worry no more Russ I have the Auto Up/Down windows in my 2012 XLT, wish they'd add the grab handle DS, and larger glove box, as well as the rear well liners!

Looks like I'm going to start looking into getting full auto windows in the near future. I would imagine/hope that it would be a simple plug and play type of deal... hopefully

Good luck Russ, I happily added the keyless entry keypad door handle on mine and it didnt come with it from the factory, just do your research and great things happen!
