I would get almost every option I could afford. the tire & handeling
package might hurt the mileage a little, but I would still go for it.
How much weight will you be hauling? If you want the auto. I would go w/
3.92 gears if you have a heavy load. If a five speed, 3.55's or 3.92's
would probably work well. The steeper gears might hurt your mileage when
unloaded, but w/ a load it either won't change, or it will increase MPG.
Go w/ the power bucket seats, I have the split bench seat and it is very
comfortable, but it would be nice to have the lumbar support the buckets
come w/. Tell us what options you are "iffy" about, and we can probably
help you decide (actually you will probably get the same amount of
answers to either side of getting an option, but you will hear +'s and
-'s of it). Definetly get the V8.
