Just curious what comes with this package.My shocks are painted Black I don't see many skid plates.I do have hill decent on dash

 

• Black shocks....supposed to be different by some means.
• Hill Descent
• Skids plates on gas tank and below transfer case
• And a great decal

 

Hill descent control
two skid plates
black shocks supposedly tuned for off road
FX4 decals

 

Glad I did not pay anymore for package! Where is best place to get other skid plates?

 

If you paid for the FX4 package and don't have the skid plates, go to your dealer. They owe them.

I would be curious to know if the shocks (black on both FX4 and 4x4) are the same part number. It says they are different in the package description. They certainly could be (and still be black Tennecos).

My '17 is an FX4 although I am not likely to ever go off-roading in this truck.

 

My guess is, a good percentage of the people with the FX4 package have no intention of ever going off road. But it is such a popular package (probably some good profit for the dealer), it is sometime hard to find the truck you want without it.. There are a lot of FX4's out there.

 

I've not found a use for the hill descent, but I don't offroad this heavy pig.

 

Hill descent can be added for $20 (Ford factory button) and FORScan. Skid plates can be added (to a build) for $90. Thus, the remaining $250 you're paying for FX4 are for worthless shock "upgrade" and a cool sticker (that I actually like). So, yes, massive profit margin for the dealer on this package with very limited utility for the customer.

 

mine was free because I didn’t pay msrp.

 

If I were to special order, Id skip the fx4 package. I dont mind the decals, but Id just add the skid plates for $100.

 

Nothing in my post quoted MSRP. I'm sure you didn't pay MSRP; nobody does. Yours wasn't free, though.

How much off MSRP did you pay for your truck? Apply that percentage to the FX4 MSRP of $400. That's what you paid for your FX4 option.

Good luck.

 

I reserve the right to specifically allocate my discounts, I choose fx4 package as the first thing I knocked off list and refused to pay for. Second is the chrome package. Then I negotiated a price on remaining items.

 

Whatever helps you sleep at night. I paid full MSRP for 88% of my truck and then got a whole bunch of stuff free!
