Pretty simple. Ford, GM and Dodge couldn't care less what 1% of the population does with their trucks, nor should they. The other 99% of us don't want to subsidize building a truck for that minority, that would increase the cost of it 20%. Same reason why they killed the standard shift, nobody buys it and it isn't worth making it for the few extra trucks they would sell. Cheaper to send those buyers a $20 bill and tell them to buy a Chev or Dodge. Basic economics. The cost of the R&D, separate assembly line, along with everything else invovled with adding another option don't warrant it. Kind of like offering a 12" lift kit. Sure, some people would buy it, but all of the buyers they push away not having it don't make up for the cost of offering it.
