I agree with Sam on just about everything, especially
the Tonneau, Mopar is MUCH more expensive ($100-$200)
from what i've seen, so if you put that in the finance
payment, then do it, mine was $600 with the carpet
underneath, and installed. Definitely get the 4wheel
ABS(no matter where you live and the climate) the
overhead convienence is very nice to have, and power
everything of course, buckets are very nice with the
power seats and the lumbar supports, especially for my
back, in my elderly years. The only thing I don't
really like is the 6x9 mirrors, I like the fact that
they are fold away, and the fact that I can see the
planet Mars in them, but I don't like the looks, they
are mighty big. And if you are gonna customize your CD
player, steering wheel mounted controls will be
wasted, just get a remote!, otherwise the mounted
controls will be very handy, all this info IMHO.

Aren't fog lights included in the R/T package?
