I found this truck way before I even ordered mine, and when I get bored look at the pics. Surprisingly this truck is still for sale after so many months. Being curious I looked for why. It then clicked - check out the $7k + adder. WOW! Also caught the notes in the description that include:

All vehicles at Crown Dodge have our SWAT security system $995, Nitro $499, Clear Shield $395, touchscreen $395, wheel locks $395, windshield treatment $995, pulse breaking lights $395, paint and fabric protection, $1295pre-installed.

I sometime wonder how certain dealers can stay in business. I then come across some 'mentally challenged' people and it clicks. The old saying is true - a sucker is born every minute.

 
Yep, dearler installed BS. So what touch screen did they install? It's got a touch screen from the factory.
And it has a OEM security system/ tracker.
They put nitrogen in the tires? Is that the nitro? Why? It's not a race car.

If they are owned by the same company that is Crown Dodge in Oxnard, CA, I understand the "ad ons". They are a big ripoff. Was charging a $50K upcharge for the TRX when they first came out. And some stupid people paid it

My self like having Nitrogen in my tires (got it free at Costco outside air pump) I set my tire pressure last year in Feb, they have only lost 2 psi since, before I changed them over to Nitrogen I had to add air every 2-3months so I think its well worth my time it took to change them to Nitrogen.
 
Free is good
Mine only loose air in the winter when temps drop to 30 and below. I'll loose about 10 PSI.

If they want me to pay for the nitrogen, I'll pass.

I run a after cooler and water collector between my pump and tank, so get no water in the tank. Also run a second water collector between my tank and air hose and never see water in it

I got mine for free by using Costco outdoor air pumps, it took me several trips to get them over to a 99% nitrogen but well worth it to not worry about having to keep up with air pressure an having to adjust psi due to tire temps.
 
Well, that would cost me way too much to try and do that. It's 30 miles into town and the nearest COSTCO.

So once a year, I add a little air. And once a year, I let some air out. No big deal
 
Dealerships in "blue" cities can get away with damn near anything. Their customer base are the same people who think CNN is telling them the truth.... easily duped.
