XLT Premium Package?

Does anybody who bought a 2011, have the XLT Premium package?

Its 2000, is it worth the extra cost or just stick with the Chrome package?

It really depends on what you want. The chrome package is predominantly appearance, but the XLT Premium Package actually has some rather nice upgrades in it. That, in my opinion justifies the price difference.

Per the 2011 Super Duty Pick-Up Order Guide (04/01/10):

My order out is coming with the XLT premium package. It looked worth it to me, so that's what I ordered. Will get hands on experience here within a week or two and report back.

Note that the XLT Premium Package includes all items from the Chrome Package already. So you get both for the price of one....so to speak.

The LCD productivity screen and Sync alone are worth the upgrade. I would recommend the PP for sure.
