My wife would like a new SUV with leather seats but they all come with sun roofs; dealers say that's the only way to get leather seats.

lhare, that may be a combo that is not produced unless ordered.
I was told by a Ford dealer I couldn't have an XLT trim (on a Super Duty) with the center console and without leather. I went to a different dealer, ordered exactly that, and got it.
My botnet is bigger than yours.

My dad got his 2014 Sierra 6.2L custom ordered when GM was making 8% of 6.2L orders even though the dealership I worked at told him GM would not build it. I gave him a contact that got it done.
You can make an order for nearly anything but it actually showing up, right now especially, is another story.
One of our best repeat sales and service customers ordered a new Yukon Denali in September of 2021. By summer of 2022 it was still not built and she could have either gave up, ordered a 2023 (because they were stopping the 2022's), or bought one that happened to come in. She picked the last of those options.
Pass the gravy.

Sounds like a free country and capitalism to me. They can charge what they want and nobody has to buy their products either. “It’s only greed when the other guy does it”

It's YOUR money, if you don't like the price then go elsewhere. BTW...not a fan of any of Ford's products.

I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Considering you have to order every vehicle right now it makes sense to streamline the process and cut out the middle man. Dealerships should be a thing of the past. Turn them all into service centers and get rid of the entire sales force, financing crew, prep crew and the babes that sit up front. They can deliver vehicles to whatevet address you choose rather than a dealers lot.
