Yes, I understand. But this doesn't prevent MB from moving any switch from an existing location to a new location. You can plug in an OBDII reader and make your windows go up and down with it -- all brought to you through the miracle of software and CAN buses.
yeah, it doesn’t make sense that if you order the heated steering wheel, you get shortchanged on switches.
Hodog posted the info and pic of the steering wheel selectors. Obviously personal choice if you want to get the heated steering wheel, but as I mentioned my wife uses the drive mode selector knob every time she gets in the truck. It opens the exhaust valves, makes the response more sporty, and disables the annoying start/stop function when you stop at stoplights. You would get a good amount of use out of the heated steering wheel given where you are located, so you'll have to make the choice on that one.
Many people like the trail package, so it makes sense for you to order it if you are going to do some off-roading and won't be lifting the truck at all. I do the suspension mods for looks, so if you aren't interested in changing the look of the truck then factory options are probably the best bet.
Here are a couple of pics. Notice the steering wheel selector is on S+ which is how she always drives it:
What are the specs / parts to make this look happen.....amazing spec

wow!
How did you lift it? New suspension or just a spacer?
I love the wheel/ tires combination, what are they?

Thanks. This truck has a LeTech 50mm suspension lift, and is running 33x12.50r22 Toyo MT tires. Wheels are 22x10.5 with +35mm offset. Then I added a 23mm wheel spacer to clear the brake calipers.
The next one I did had the same suspension, but I had custom wheels made to get the correct offset without spacers.

We’re you able to reprogram the tire diameter in order to have a accurate speedometer reading?
No, but it isn't off by too much. Just assume 3-5mph difference at highway speeds. Down around city street speeds (30-35mph) the speedo is only off about 1-2mph.

how is the tire noise? I'm going with a similar tire/whtire size setup, but still not sure about getting a normal A/S or A/T tire?
It's a bronze from Prismatic Powders, and then it has Casper Clear applied over that. I can't recall the exact bronze, but can ask my powder guy if you really want the info.

Not bad. They aren't as quiet as an AT or AS, but I've run dozens of sets of these Toyo MTs for the past 15+ years so I'm used to it. They are fairly quiet the first 10K miles or so. They can tend to get noisy as you approach 15K miles, but it helps if you rotate frequently. Not sure you could do this as easily with a 33x12.50r22 because it's an oddball size, but I typically run my Toyos for 10K-12K miles then get a new set. I sell the old ones on Craigslist for $500-$600. Doesn't take long, and I recoup some of my new tire cost. Then I get new, quiet tires to enjoy.
