Door Handles
Mirrors
Tow Hooks
Different Rims (you guessed it
Chromed)
May have also been a couple of tie downs in the bead that were chromed
Exhaust tip
And I thought the running boards were different, a little wider? but that was in 2017 so that may have changed
I think that's it, I didn't order it but ended up with it, I like it actually.

The only reason I got it was because of the chrome bumpers. Before I bought my truck I almost bought a used 17 w/ painted bumpers. It had a lot of paint chips and in the rust belt, lots of rust. Maybe my tie-downs in the bed are chrome they are covered by the Ford spray in bed liner. King ranch will also get the tailgate satin plate with the chrome package iirc.

But if you're getting the other you may not be in a hurry to get home anyway.

Chrome tow hooks is why I got it.
The standard tow hooks mar pretty bad when hooking up a strap.
Chrome doesn't do that.

My F250 had black tow hook and I never had any problem with the strap leaving marks. My F350, OTOH, has chrome hooks that have rusted near the base. Not the end of the world, but I really think they could have done a better job with them.

The Super Duty Chrome tow hooks may not mar badly, but they certainly rust!

The “chrome wheels” are not chrome but some plastic type of coating. My F350 has 25,000 miles and the crap is starting to peel off. To make matters worse the lug nuts are expanded from water getting into the covering and freezing. Those are two items that you would not expect to be problematic on a low mileage truck. Wheels and lug nuts are crap from a company in business for 120 years! My warranty is up so I guess I’m stuck. My next truck won’t be a Ford.
