The first one is code C7. It includes Roof Rack, Tow Hitch and Spare Tire Cover

The second is Code C8. It includes Rock Rails and Front Bling Plate.

C7 Invoice: $770 MSRP: 1,167
C8 Invoice: $650 MSRP: 1,000

thanks Granger! not a bad rig, I guess huh?

it's got the crappy C1 package, which seems like a waste. holy markup on the accessories, btw

Depends if it is what you want. I'm not a fan of the spare tire cover and the front skid plate. These packages are not saving you anything, they were created to make it easier to order.

Add up the MSRP of each item:

Tire Cover: $169
Roof Rack: $649
Tow Hitch: $349

Total: $1,167 (same as C7)

Rock Rails: $575
Skid Plate: $425

Total: $1,000 (same as C8)

I agree. Actually I have to admit the skid plate LOOKS kinda cool, but definitely for show. And yeah..I don't need that spare cover. cool that there's rock rails instead of running boards though. I think I might take it

The cynic in me says they were created to make it easier to get the consumer to buy more accessories than he actually wants. I have no interest in either the tire cover or skid plate, but I'm very interested in the other items in these 2 packages. Voila- 2 more accessories for me...

***Bostonian1976*** · 03-10-2006, 10:04 AM
