i had wondered if FX4 meant ESOF and apparently it does not
also i had looked at the window sticker before they had pictures and it said that it had a console so i was like no way it has a manual lever
then a couple days later they posted the pictures

That truck was a fleet DSO. All of the trucks at work are like that. However the FX4 decals are not correct. I would need a vin to verify. The manual shift with e locker are available options, but you couldn't order a Fx4 package without going for the ESOF. You could have added skid plates as a stand alone. That lower console cubby is available from ford and sometimes see on ebay.

I yearn for a manual 4WD shifted xfer case. You can have all this electronic BS. Give me a manual trans too.

I'm not sure how things are grouped now but "back in the day" the inaugural FX4 package for my 2003 was skid plates, Rancho branded shocks, steering stabilizer, and cool bed stickers.
The ESOF was a separate option or possibly part of a convenience package.

Like said above you can get the FX4 package with the manual t-case. I was going to go that route when I ordered mine but ended up just getting the skid plates as a stand alone option since the "rancho" shocks are junk and I don't need the hill assist in the flatlands where I live.
