Yep, the marker lights are required by law on vehicles over 80" wide, so they're required as standard equipment on DRW trucks . All DRWs will have the cab marker lights, the ID bar under the tailgate, and the marker lights on the fenders. SRW trucks are just under 80" so they're not required.
Even the Raptor has marker lights because they're over 80" wide, as well as those trucks GM made for a few years with 4 wheel steering.

If you can swing it and justify the money go for it. I guess I never noticed the new dually rear fenders is that really what they are doing? Looks like a homemade add on. There is no style to them. If you can deal with it get the ext cab better resale value and extra room is always nice.

I wouldn't want an extended cab either. The doors have never shut quite right on any of the ones I have had experience with.

(Here we go with the Dodge thing again). My reg cab Dodge has a massive cab. I'm 6'5" and I don't need my seat all the way back. There's still plenty of room behind the seats for all my tools, straps, jackets, and even a 12" subwoofer in a truck box with an amp!
The Ford reg cab was much smaller. I had to have the seat all the way back, and I was still looking for more room...I felt cramped. Absolutely no room behind the seats for anything but maybe a couple straps.
The only reason I am considering the ex cab is because the reg cab is so small. If it was the size of the Dodge's, I'd go with the reg cab.

I don't like crew cabs. Too big. Then, I become the taxi when my friends and I want to go somewhere because no one else has something that seats more than 3. I dealt with that with my Quad Cab Dodge

I hate to say it but I can't stand the bubble look of the DRW! It needs to go back to the box look just my 2 cents.
Is it possible to order a new truck with the boxier style fenders then the bubble?

I made a mistake and built a truck on Ford.com for the heck of it, and realized I can afford it according to their numbers and if I get book trade-in on my truck. Uh-oh 
2015 F350 XL Reg cab, 6.2L, 4x4, DRW, 4.30LS, (maybe an extended cab)
-Snowplow prep (for bigger alternator and heavier springs...I don't plow)
-XL Value package (CD/MP3 player, Cruise control, chrome bumpers (I'd rather the black bumpers))
-Upfitter switches
-Skidplates
-Block heater
-40/20/40 cloth seats
Are there any incentives/rebates out right now? Will there be any better ones coming up for the holidays?
How much does the X-plan take off, if any, when having a new truck built?
I've never bought a new truck before...just used ones. I'd love to find one only a year or two old...but the truck I want is a unicorn...

The huge pickup payment and the cost of full coverage insurance sucks. But, I went new because I couldn't find a good used truck with low miles. Plus, people seem to want a premium price for their used trucks.
