Ha ha, calling bs on ALL of the stated benefits of the nitrogen tire fill. I reckon a smooth talking non-gearhead wrote that. Only tangible benefits are reduced corrosion inside wheel (a non-issue with alloy wheels), and a smaller pressure delta as tires heat up (a non-issue in non-race tires).
Just about every dealership here add it to their dealer orders. Then they give you the line about how great it is with our high temps here and blah, blah, blah! Look at the ADM that was on my Ranger when I bought it. o_O It took me hours and several times getting up and walking away to finally get them to remove it. If I didn't love the truck so much (had every option I wanted) I wouldn't have wasted so much time.

Dave, I'm a bit scared to ask, but I's just gotta. What in the world is a Peoria Preformance Package? :)

Thankfully dealers here have stopped adding dealer options and accessories themselves. I think they realize that more times than not they're either giving them away at cost or removing them.

If it's a customer order they don't add it but every dealer order has them added on. I never seen that back east and I've bought many new vehicles from MA, CT and upstate NY. It's crazy to think some will actually pay for this?

How is a factory bed liner a "dealer installed option"?

These fake unibody “trucks” make me laugh. Yuppie man bun hipsters and guys who have Thier balls in their wives purses buy them.


As for the markup on trucks…. There is a special place in hell for dealerships who do that.

I just told my salesman I wasn't paying for any of that and wanted him to remove it from the buyer's order. He asked if I was sure, and I said yes...and he did it right away.

You're lucky it went that easy for you. This was honestly the worst part about buying my truck. Everything else went smoothly except for getting them to take off this ridiculous charge. I told them I'd pay a "reasonable" amount they can keep it at $3K.
