Cab lights are starting to grow on me (especially w/ the smoked Recon lenses) but I know I can add them down the road...

I didn't order mine (impatient) and was going by price and what was available.

I don't have the center console, wish it had that...someday will find one and put in.
I don;t have the navi, I didnt want to spend the extra $1200 for something to tell me how to get to a place I already know where to go.

I can add the roof lights later and likely will go with low profile smoked, like the recons.

It has everything else I wanted, plus things I didnt (snow plow prep)

I thought 'installing' the block heater was merely adding the power cord to the pre-existing heating element?

I wish I had got the f350 instead of 250, I also wish I would have gotten the a short bed, because there is plenty of storage behind the seats and under them, don't need a toolbox.

On the 6.7L you need to add the element and cord.
When you remove the plug in the block to install the element, You will loose some of your coolant. So installing the element usually involves flushing and replacing the engine coolant in addition to installing the element and cord.

Cowboy, I had two short beds and I'm very happy with the long bed. I wouldn't go back. But for me with the GN Horse trailer, The extra 2 feet means two extra bales of hay in the bed with the trailer hooked up.

You can have one too for a fairly low price and a couple of hours of your time. Let me know if you want the link.

Awww, don't hate me because I'm beautiful!!

There are time when I'd like to have the tailgate step and step-up pole, and I will eventually get line-x and probably a gooseneck hitch. I like the look of cab lights, but think it would make Evelyn and I look too masculine. I already run the risk of looking .... ummm.... less than feminine (shall we say? Erased the "D" word, didn't want to offend anyone) just because I drive her and hang out on here!

Wish I would have gotten the leather instead of cloth. I really wanted the heated and cooled seats.

My truck was purchased off the lot and was/is pretty well decked out as I wanted one.

I originally wanted the Tri-Coat, but I take my truck off-road and hunting so it's getting scratches in the Oxford White paint. Having Tri-Coat would make that much more painful! I'm going to have the rear fenders Line-X coated in white so the Central Coast brush won't scratch them up even more than they are now.

If Ford offered a selectable locker (I really wish there was an E-Locker available for the Dana 80) for the DRW's I would have definitely looked for that option. I'll be adding a limited slip unit to the front axle so that will help this behemoth when off-road.

Looks like I have no 'wants' from the factory. I have some suggestions for Ford, but that's for another thread!

I wish I had a center console instead of the "20" seat.

Bought mine from dealer stock, couldn't wait for an order. I have the "limited edition" seats, heated and cooled, cab heater, 20's and ELD.
I installed my cab lights so that's taken care of.
Don't need Nav and don't want a moonroof.
I guess the only other thing I would have ordered is the tailgate step.

Hey now, I'm just considering factory here.
You improved the look of your truck but Ford can't because they don't offer it.
