Also, do you all think adaptive cruise is worthwhile, since the cruise control already comes with collision warning & brake assist? Seems the only difference is ability to set following distance, where the radar tells the cruise to slow the truck down when the vehicle in front slows, closing the safe following distance, then speeds the truck back up when the vehicle in front speeds up again.

This is a personal choice as there's no smoking gun to point out. However, I've had this type of feature (adaptive cruise but goes by different names) on every vehicle I've owned since 2003. I will never go without it! I can't even begin to express how much stress this has taken out of long-distance driving. Also, more than once adaptive cruise has reacted much quicker to traffic in front of me than I could have reacted. I highly recommend adaptive cruise!

2020 F-350 4x4 CCSB SRW 7.3L EL 4.30 Lariat Ultimate, console frt seats, 18” AT tires, pro trailer backup assist, 5th wheel/gooseneck hitch prep pkg., camper pkg., adaptive steering, wiper de-icer, pwr. Running boards, quad LED head/tail lights, led roof clearance lights, frt & rr wheel well liners, adaptive cruise ctrl. & collision warning, upfitter switches, ext. backup alarm.
When I added the upfitters after the backup alarm, the build changed the 397A alternator to 240A, kept the dual batteries, the tires changed from 18” AT to 18” AS, and the rear changed to EL w/3.73, which is standard w the 7.3L.

The 397 amp alternator is only available on a truck that has the 110v inverter, upfitter switches AND snow plow pkg. I was able to build your truck otherwise via NADA Guides. PDF attached but check my work.

Thanks, H2Ocamper.
You did the same as a couple of the dealers, adding the Gooseneck Hitch Kit (Pre-Installed) $250/$228, which I chose to omit. My build has the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Hitch Prep Pkg. I will add the hitch Kit later, after Line-X sprays in the bed liner. Still, the 397A alternator & dual batteries is doable on the ford.com build & price site. There must be a way for the dealers to do it, because at least two of them included everything on their Preview Orders.
Below is my pdf from the ford.com site

Yeah, my bad. I have now removed the GN Kit. You are right, the Build Site allows the 397 amp alternator as an option. Maybe its free vs an option when you get all three (inverter, upfitter and snow plow) as listed in the order guide.
