I have had no luck finding an F-150 without the Chrome package. The side bars that come with that are next to useless. Assuming I order a truck, what aftermarket sidebars are good for stepping out on? My dad cant use the factory ones. I appreciate your input. BTW, I curse the engineer that took the grab handle from the driver side on new F-150s.
To clarify, I'm looking for an ecoboost, 157in wheelbase S-Crew, 3.55 rear and most amenities sans leather. I don't want the chrome deal because of the bars and that I can't be showing up on a farm looking like a rap star with self control issues... Some chrome is ok, but for crying out loud, who thought this package was a good idea?

Reason: clarification
Not sure who came up with the chrome package but I'm not 100% a fan either....I've got it but I could have done without chrome tow hooks...the side steps would be fine if they sat out about 2" further like my 2010 Super Duty did. You need to be really careful on my 2012 F150 or you're in for a ride when getting out of the truck.
The thing that gets me the most is all the extra you need to have added on in order to buy the backup camera option. I paid it but I didn't need all the other crap and would have liked to have gotten it without all the extra add ons.
