Wow never heard of that. Why would they build a truck with all the components of a 13 speed but not put the shifter in. Seems weird to me but hey I guess there a reason. Cookie cutter truck. One size fits most. Resale. ?????

The mega-fleets are notorious for this. It is harder for the student drivers to tear them up when set as 9-speeds. After the truck leaves the fleet, the prospect of a 13 speed makes the truck worth more money. It is quite a common practice actually.
