Heated steering wheel
I know a lot of guys don't care about heated steering wheels but living in the Northeast and with my arthritis I need it . If it weren't for taking a truck for a test drive and looking at the window sticker I would have never gotten it . I thought by ordering the Lariat sport option and the Lariat ultimate package it would automatically come with it , not true. You have to order Windshield wiper de-icer option for $165 to get a heated steering wheel . The sales people and service people had no idea this is the only way to get it . Maybe the Platinum and Limited has it standard but with a Lariat this looks like the only way to get it . It works much better than the 16 Chevy 3500 High Country I traded in . Happy Memorial Day and lets remember all our Military and the sacrifices they made. Stay well and pray they make some progress in controlling this Pandemic we're going thru .

I too was disappointed when my new truck didn't have the heated steering wheel. On the Ford website, they even have it incorrect. The Lariat Ultimate Package, when listed under commercial vehicles, has the HEATED steering wheel. I was actually a little pi$$ed about this. Search for F-350 Ultimate package and this is what shows up. Buy the truck and you're hosed. No way to add it after the fact. Ok, still ticked off.

I'm confused what you have to add to the Lariat to get it? I don't see a windshield de-icer as an option on the online build tool

Kyle I thought the same thing! When I asked the salesman and his manager they had no idea, they thought is just carried over from the year before . We had to go to multiple trucks to see which ones had a heated wheel and just by luck we found one and it was the only one that said windshield wiper de-icer . I almost ordered my truck without it , got lucky.
