As they say in the car business, you are in the new car business to be in the
used car business. In other words, there are very little margins on new cars. A
dealer may make a few hundred on a new car. They hope to get good trades to
make the real money on. Plus there is the service business and
Certainly adds no value for me.

IIRC, the V8 has more torque, which is what a truck needs. The STX is a
step up from the base - I got the base short cab, long bed, with added
electric windows and locks and running boards. I did have to order it -
there were none that met my specs in OK.
