Well the supplemental heater used to be standard equipment in northern tier states, I don’t think it is any more; so make damn sure dealer checks that box if you want it.
A guy on another thread is from Montana, ordered a 2021; and his dealer made an ASSumption when ordering........oops!

I believe the supplemental and block heaters are standard on dealer stock orders (or at least used to be for cold climate states) However with a custom order, nothing is standard except what comes on each trim level. You don't check the box...not going to be built with it.

On the build and price, you have to check the supplemental heater box.
I'm not sure I can get non chrome running boards on the Lariat. Clear as mud on that.
How do you get the highest GVW? What changes when you get that? Right now I have the 355 gears selected. 373 better? I would think that motor has plenty of power for 355's

CHECK THE WINDOW STICKER! Most trucks are shipped with the cord tied up at the block or frame, and it is not visible. Almost every diesel Superduty I have had was shipped snd delivered with the cord tied up. That said, Ford used to build all diesels with the EBH, and you just needed to add the cord. So even if your located truck does not show the EBH, it might be there, and you only need to purchase the cord. Easy add.

The heater is no longer installed in the block unless it was ordered. My 2020 didn't get built with the block heater, and I had to buy the heater element and the cord.

I'd also suggest:
- Mud flaps
- Either Weathterec or Husky all-weather floor mats
- Bedliner - or better a sprayed-in bedliner
- Hitch receiver adapter in case you have any 2" hitches laying around that you'd want to use.
- A Steelers license plate upfront (my personal preference!)
- A Motorcraft DEF filling nozzle:
- FORScan OBD2 Adapter

You can get a good set of LED bulbs that are plug-n-play for MUCH MUCH less! Make a world of difference.

Don't waste your money on the "factory" spray bedliner. Plenty of Youtube videos showing how it comes off in BIG chunks because they don't do any prep work. They just spray it. Put that money towards a good Linex liner once you get it.. Also, the factory sends it to a offsite shop for the liners and it will add several more weeks to your delivery.
