I bet you ended up looking at a specific package they're offering. There is a 4-tier system they have used that I am assuming is still in play. Looks like they are, work truck, LS, LT, LTZ. My pickup is not the bare bones work truck, it is the LS, with better mirrors, heavy bumper, a nice radio and CD player, but with cloth seats and without some of the bells and whistles they add to the high end trucks. Did you pick up the brochure for the series? Then you should see the packages. To get a good idea of what is available (beyond what the salesman wants to sell you) visit http://www.edmunds.com/. I've used them to compare vehicles and to see just what exactly is in each of those packages.
