2018 order recomendations

Change of heart, went to the Costco and got all I wanted and in state in Butte, America!
6.2l
4.30 gears
Tow tech bundle
lariat ultimate package
5th wheel prep
customer placed camera
Skid plates
Quad beam leds head lamps and tail lamps
spray in bed liner
stowable running boards
Adaptive Cruise control
engine block heater
Adaptive cruise and collision warning
adaptive steering
lane keeping alert
BLIS ( blind spot info system)
CSTMR TRL CAM
Upfitter switches
Extra heavy duty alternator
nav system
and more!
The dealer is waiting to submit built sheat but thinks that they will see 2018's in December or January.
According to Costco's website, Costco's Auto program helped dealerships volume by selling 465,000 vehicles in 2017
Waiting for price and further info!

Looks like a nice build Harold. Why are you ordering from a dealer so far from Missoula?

The splash shields are the fender liners? If so, the Lariat Ultimate comes with the rears I believe.

Cheaper....so far

Missoula was $1000 over invoice ( Lithia ) and Plains ( Reibien) $500 over invoice.
Just getting started though...

Splash guards are Ford's name for "mud flaps".

Please pick this apart and give me your thoughts, are bed rails and rear mud flaps available or already included? $60126 invoice, $1295 destination included in price. Is there dealer prep to deal with also?
Thanks in advance,
Harold
LED headlights are ok if you think you may get flashed a lot from people who see 4 headlights and assume "high beam".

"Stowable running boards" - did you mean power-deploying running boards, or the stowable bed ramps?

Instead of the tow tech package on my F250 I did the ultimate trailer tow camera and adaptive steering separately. Tow tech also had automatic high beam and rain sensing wipers but that was part of the lariat ultimate package. Unless I'm mistaken the only thing I won't have is lane departure warning and I was fine with that to save a few hundred.

2018 F-350 Via Costco

As you know or at least what I have been told there are not any borocheres available for2018 F350.
Yes I did the price guide through NADA and it was very accurate minus a couple things you will find out.
I two believe I can do better than the $500 Costco gives you after buying from them.
I was given the invoice price, and assumed that would be the Price excluding rebate or etc.
Please believe me line x or anybody worth wanting to be in business backs up a Bed liner. My 2005 bedliner shows wear and tear:but I am getting a 5th wheel prep package and the bed liner FROM FORD, TOGETHER.
Two related items...I don’t want some franchise bed spray outfit involved in my truck...for what it is worth.
Anyone who buys a gas rig with 4.30 gears is not worried about the small things.
Harold

When I ordered, I almost missed the dual battery option which is poorly described as "Medium Duty Battery" (option 86M).

I see someone mentioned the LED headlights, my dealer has confirmed for 2018 you must get KR, Platinum, or Limited to get LED. Will not be an option on Lariat, XLT, or XL.
LED was an option on Lariat in 2017, but only if you added the Ultimate and BLIS which is 5K more + 1K for the lights, so in the end if you didn't want the Ultimate and BLIS, the LED cost 6k! Money better spent elsewhere unless you wanted all the other stuff.

The LED's are available on the 2018 250 Lariat, but the Ultimate package is required. $3255.00. They took off the sunroof out of the Ultimate package and lowered the price for 2018. The BLIS is required $540.00.

Harold, good move on bed liner and 5th wheel package. That's the way I went. I didn't want to have to do much to my truck after delivery. The LED headlights are great! There are a number of members that went with non-LED and regret it. Retrofitting OEM LED appears to be expensive and complicated.
