Worth adding 5th Wheel Prep back in?

I believe that if you order the camera/TPMS, but not the 5th wheel prep, they install the 7/12 in the bumper. I want to move it to the bed and use the 7/4 from the 5th wheel kit in the bumper. Sounds like there are connectors for two harnesses under the bed, so it should all work.

I’m the opposite. I finally removed it from my order and got scheduled the following week. That was back in January and after 6 rescheduling notifications for a total of 7 weeks, the truck got built last week.
I picked up the Ford 5th wheel prep kit for $600 incl tax and will install it myself once the truck arrives.
It would have been nice to save $100 and an afternoons work but I’m over it. This truck will be 8 months from order to delivery as it is.

It's on the ford accessories site. Use promo code FORD20 for 20% off. Free delivery to a dealer for pick up and you can add $250 to have them install it.

My F-350 came with the 7/12 in the bed as part of the factory installed 5th wheel prep package. The Trailer Backup Camera/TPMS package came with another 7/12 connector kit that was installed on the bumper replacing the 7/4 that was there. The 12 pin harness connector was there next to the spare tire underneath ready to be plugged in. Took about 5 minutes to swap them out. I don't have a 4-pin trailer connector anymore, but the kit also included a 7 to 4 adapter.

I picked up mine at Fairway Ford in Ohio. I have family that just happens to live in Canfield. Go figure. Anyway, it was $600 w/tax when I picked it up. However, that $250 checkbox on the Ford site with 20% off is worthwhile. I have the means to do the work myself but it's not a job for just anybody and there were rumors of $1000+ quotes to have it done locally. Jump on that deal if you need the 5th prep!

I pulled it, and after a month had it put back on. I don't want to have to deal with the added expense to get the 7/12 parts, would much rather have the full factory installed, warranted stuff. Whether or not the truck actually makes it to production, whodahellknows.
