I got the order 'proposal' from the dealer yesterday evening. If I have time I'll figure out how to post it.

My center console is just like my kids biggest toybox, full and you have to dig out stuff and then fish around till you find it and i just love having a toybox in between the front seats. The 12V outlet, and the 110V outlet get heavy use from the kids. Forget the old station wagon or mini-van, our F350 really is a big roomy safe family vehicle. Pulls 15K pounds as easily as it does hauling groceries home. The seats clean easily and of all the extras I have purchased, the weathertech floor mats have paid for themselves many times over by saving the carpets from the kidos (2 boys). The wait will go by fast. I ordered my 2012 on 13 December and it arrived 27 December so there are variances. I tracked mine on the train with forum members help and when I saw it had arrived at the trainyard, I called the dealer and offered to drive to Denver to get it, but she picked it up and drove it down here for me and put 88 miles on it. Otherwise I think I would have waited awhile for a transport to bring it down.

If that is the computer print-out...then that is called the DORA.
Ask the dealer if they added your Name to the Window Sticker. It's a fun dealer option...showing the truck has an Owner. Shows up in the Options list...
Looks something like this == TAG: first initial Last name

I'm actually working on a deal to swap the console for a seat. The cab with the console is always 1 seat short on hunting/fishing trips. That and the the console takes up the space where we stack our guns when moving around between deer stands and drives!

How does this company-branded personal truck set-up work? Or is it company-branded and company-paid for work and personal use? Or do you own & operate your company so you can do whatever?

Company paid/branded/owned. Mine to use as I see fit. This truck upgrade is basically part of my 2 year bonus/retention incentive (the managing partners are impressively generous.)
When the truck is fully depreciated from the balance sheet in a few years I'll write a small cheque and own it personally.
