Mine is essentially an upgraded WT...nothing wrong with that, less things to cause grief.

In the order guide for 2500, remote start is not available on WT, optional on LT, standard on LTZ and HC.

Remote keyless entry optional on WT, standard on LT and above. 

 

Let us know if your dealer finds a work-around.

WT

Must be a new thing they dropped...my 2500 has LS on the tailgate, bought it new.

Not sure why they changed the trim packaging, but here's the 2018 2500 page:

Anybody know when it was first changed?

Perhaps with the new body style?

Initially packages combined things that most people used. My '94 had a nice 1 that basically gave me A/C for free. All the other content I wanted (chrome bumpers, nice grille, better interior lighting & the floor mat matched the interior colour). Now I just have an LT w/ just the VYU plow prep added. The LT Plus option didn't interest me.

 

As an aside, how much of the price increase is a result of the safety & emissions regs?
