2017 F150 Ordered
Hi Folks. Just wanted to post that I ordered a 2017 F150 with all the essential options...to make it custom!! 
Was at the dealer yesterday...and the sales tried to "find" me the same truck. I was certainly up for it...as I'd get it sooner. But...also told them that I would NOT pay to have it relocated here.
Of course...NO way they found the exact truck! So...my order went in...and now I get to wait the 8-10 weeks to take delivery.
I've attached the order sheet...

That is a really good question...and one that I thought over very carefully. However, the biggest turn off was all the chrome options added. Now...I like chrome, but...not so much this time around.
Would have been nice to get the Quad-beam LED headlamps and LED taillamps.

Great truck! Very similar to what I ordered except for color. The one thing I ordered and didn't get was the sprayed in bedliner. Ford was having some sort of problem with that part of their assembly line. But I had a Line-X liner installed for the same price after arrival. The extended range fuel tank is wonderful. Not filling up every weekend!

I didn't realize Auto S/S is still an option? I see it on there twice....
Edit, I think I see it as a $500 3.5 EB option which includes the S/S.

If you get the 3.5 EB you can't avoid it, but its fairly easy to live with or defeat.

Congrats! My thinking is same as yours, the 502 package has a lot of great stuff, but too much chrome (for my tastes anyway). Which means I will probably end up getting the 502 with at least the Sport Appearance Pkg, if not the Special Edition as well. Still playing around on Ford.com with Build & Price trying to find that "perfect" combination.

Thanks everyone...really appreciate the comments!!
Yeah, we are really lucky that FORD offers so many options that we can really make these trucks our own.
As the delivery date approaches...is when I will begin working the "modes" list. All those glorious parts coming to the house!!

1. 2.25" front ReadyLift
2. 3" rear blocks ReadyLift (still want the rake effect)
3. Larger AT type tires (brand and model unknown) Must fit OEM wheels
4. floor mat (WeatherTech or Husky)
5. Rear wheel liner (Husky)
6. Bed mat heavy duty (Dee Zee)
7. bug shield (AVS)
8. molded Mud guards (WeatherTech or Husky)
