My '90 was about as bare bones as it got, didn't come with a rear bumper I'm pretty sure, did have a cargo light but I'm pretty sure no factory stereo, bench seat, manual windows, manual steering, manual transmission, no headliner (factory metal...), 3.08 gears... now it's basically the opposite sorta, 4x4, power steering, bucket seats with the adjustable lumbar things, fancyish stereo, all of the suspension, 5.13 gears with turbo and still a M5OD...
I like basic, if I was to choose fancier stuff it would be mix/match... my '97 F350 is a good balance, manual transmission 4x4 turbo diesel crew cab long bed, technically an XLT for whatever reason but has power mirrors (suck for towing) and power windows (2 of them work...). My '97 Ranger is pretty much a base model, 4 cylinder extended cab 4x2 cloth 60/40 bench, had just AM/FM stereo with just rear ABS and no A/C and the lightest rear springs. I have and plan to add sometime soon an explorer overhead console thing with compass and temp display, rear slider and side popout windows, other than that and wishing it had a vinyl floor it's what I would want...
