In order of preference:

1) Larger gas tank
2) Telescoping steering wheel
3) HUD (not needed at all, just a toy and I like them)
4) For RAM to make the danged rings to make the 75th anniversary bead lock capable wheels capable of bead locking...
4.5) Functional Sport hood (also not needed, but I think the sport hood looks sharp and since we're playing with hypotheticals)
5) That thing George Jetson's car had that let it fold up in to a brief case he could carry in to his office and toss up on his desk.

Also, it'd be cool if the side camera activated with the turn signal to supplement the mirror.

Mine has and does everything I want. The only thing I wish for is for my 6.4 to have as much torque as a Chevy 6.6 and for it to not be more expensive than a Chevy

Number 5 is a MUST!

I see a lot of "I wish my A/C were better" posts. Maybe it's only because mine is new, but it gets really hot here - upper 90's, or better - and I have to turn my vents away from me half the time because it's too cold having the air blowing directly on me.

My wife takes a blanket when we travel long distances. I crank mine down to the point you can hang meat in the truck. Helps me stay alert. Certainly not weak in my truck, especially if you turn on the supplmental ball-n-cheek coolers...

Added power window ls to my 2012. Got one of those $70 kits on Amazon. First door took awhile trying to figure our best place to mount things, next door was a breeze.

Probably best not to include discussions on etorque or stop-start.

And you can post more than once and group your wants if you have many.

I would use a larger rear-view mirror, the one on the windshield. It may actually be adequate, but it looks like it belongs on a two-row SUV. I would also put a mirror on the passenger windshield to-door post that can be adjusted so the driver could see through the driver's side rear door window. It would be handy even with the blind spot on indication outside mirrors.

What I did was add a Leer all aluminum tonneau cover, front Mopar Ram mud flaps, a Mopar chrome exhaust tip, and a Dee Zee rubber bed liner.

Ordered up my 2022 Longhorn the way I wanted, but I still could not get the 6.5’ Rambox on the 5th gen 1/2 ton.

Oh and one more thing, let’s give the guys willing and able to buy the high end trucks some cool colors to pick from!!! Basically black, white silver and maroon. Laramie models have a wider choice of colors. Why not the Longhorn & Limited trucks too!

Someone mentioned a telescoping steering wheel. YES that would also make my truck perfect. I have the spacers to raise the seat, then I put together some plywood to raise the floor so my feet don't feel like they're dangling, but I feel too close to the steering wheel even with it all the way up.
The joys of being a 5 foot tall chick lol...

They have fish finders now - Garmin, Humminbird, etc - that will actually show your lure coming through the water back to the boat.

Got them all.
Only thing I have learned, about any of them, either they LIE or only reason ya ain't catching fish is .... You.
On the plus side, they sure look 'Cool', on the boat.
