As I was checking with local dealers to see if they would match the Granger price on a '21 Lariat, I was presented some quotes that had unrequested "add-ons", like: Nitrogen filled tires; "Pulse" rear brake lights; Door guards; key locator systems - sometimes with an added cost of $1,300! My final deal included a "no add-ons" agreement, so I hope I don't get any last minute surprises. By the way, here's a link to Consumer Reports' take on paying for Nitrogen in tires (was a $199 add-on at one dealer):

I declined pulse on my Subaru and they don’t actually take it off... :)

I’m a tire man
I’m a believer in nitrogen, but that price is high. I had a dealer in Nashville try to sell it to me for 400...I almost backed out of buying the car I was so mad. If any of you are passing through Nashville let me know, I’ll get you some nitrogen on the house.
