Since there have been and will be some new, new to me trucks purchased here I figured I start an option thread.
I am considering getting side window vent visors or sometimes called window deflectors. Does anyone have them and if so yes, no, likes, dislikes. If you do do you have the one that just mount with tape to the door or the one that go in the window channel.
What other goodies do you find most useful?

A bed cap. Unless I was like Mo and pulled a 5th wheel I would never own a truck without a cap.

Agree with Brad and one option I have on my newer truck is push button fold-able side mirrors. I use it all the time. Of course I need to trying to navigate downtown Mpls traffic and parking ramps...

Remote start,
and a sliding rear window. Lot easier to get the beer cans in the bed......

The truck came fully loaded, with leather seats, heated and cooled, heated steering wheel, tonneau cover, heated and auto folding mirrors, bed rails, mud flaps, 20" wheels, chrome tube step, auto this and auto that. The original owner kept the window sticker, listed new at $49675 in 2014. He deleted the power rear window (dumb ass move). The only other option he didn't get was the moon/sun roof. The bed was not lined but I already had a herculiner kit and will do it myself.

I don't really like the looks of them, but I think you can can keep you windows cracked without the chance of rain getting in.

Looks like a carwash could do a number on the window visors.
I have never had them on any car. Never really liked the look of them, and really dont see a need for them.

Also at least a 6.5' bed. The 5.5' beds suck ass. 8' gets a bit long to navigate into any type of parking lot. 6.5 is perfect IMO.

(They dont make a large bed with the CrewMax cab, but do with the Double Cab. I use my back seat more then the bed I would guess, so the extra large back seat is beneficial to me (well my kids I don't sit back there)

They are just so short Kabic (to me). I can't tell you how many times I've put shit in my bed with the cap and said to myself wow that extra foot makes a big difference.

I agree, couple of times I had to haul stuff with the tail gate down. it is one of the reasons I dont have a tool box. A full size tool box is 2 feet wide? How much bed would I have then LOL
