How rare is factory PTO?

Looked at a 17 f 350 king ranch 4x4 today to upgrade my truck but couldn't part with that much money. Later considered if it had factory PTO, I may bite the bullet. I've always wanted to set up a generator in my truck. I don't know if it even had the build sheet and i doubt the salesman would know. Is there any way to find out without driving back to dealership (long drive)?

Pull the vin and window sticker from the dealers site. Plenty of trucks with PTO but not in high trim levels.

I've ordered 3 trucks with the PTO option with high hopes of adding hydraulics. In particular a hydraulic generator and compressor.
Haven't done it yet due to the cost. So when I order the 2020 that will be one item of a little bit of savings.

Every dealership website I've ever visited has a "view the window sticker" option for all of its listed inventory. So, you should be able to just do that -- go to that dealer's site, find the KR you looked at, and view the online window sticker.

Or call the dealer. They'll know if the truck has a PTO.

You say that so convincingly.

OP: "Yes, does the KR truck I looked at yesterday come equipped with a PTO?"
Dealer: "Say what?! Sure, we can throw in a potato when you buy... come on down and let's get the paperwork started. We'll throw in TWO potatoes!"

We use the Vanair Excite units at work or the IMT units. Talk about expensive. I believe it's near 15k a truck to install the compressors, generators and hydraulics. Not something I can afford on my personal truck.
