I’ve been thinking this same thing now since I heard a few weeks ago about 25s wrapping up. I was scheduled for week of 5/26, so I figured I’d hit my dealer on the 22/23rd and see what the new order guide offered when order banks open for 26. I thought I’d have a chance to change to a 26 if there was a good reason to. Then on Monday I got shifted ‘into production’ and issued a window sticker on Tuesday, so it’s kinda too late now. Oh well, I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining after all I’ve read about lengthy deliveries to others in the thread, I will be very happy with what I ordered.
You might just be the envy of most up here as your timing could not have been much better imho:
You'll be getting absolutely everything that you wanted at the best price possible while missing out on absolutely nothing given the lack of changes.
The rest of us will most certainly be paying more (possibly much more) with little additional to show for it if anything.
Congratulations!!!
The window sticker comes from a download link.
I found the best link when I was waiting on mine is/was https://ordertrack.app/
You do need your VIN and order number though.
Thanks. That was very helpful. However, it says the sticker is not available at the moment. I'll keep an eye out for it though.

I can understand it might seem that way, given the inevitable price hike coming and not really any added value from 25’ to 26’. It’s sickening that the truck I have on order was about 10k less, 5 years ago (I have build and price printouts I dug up out of curiosity). Truth be told I actually wanted a 24, that would have been absolutely everything I wanted, with leather, keypad pad and the grey bar style wheels. Instead I had to order a 25 for 5k more than an employee priced 24. So, while I’m happy, I’m certainly paying more than I wanted to when I started this new truck endeavor, just as it seems you will be. Good luck out there, my advice, don’t wait if your ready to buy, just pull the trigger and go, otherwise you’ll miss out like I did and pay more for less.

I, too, would have been happy with a '24, but I waited long enough that we weren't able to find what I wanted to pay for. So instead, I ordered a '25 optioned as I wanted it. It is basically equipped the same as the '17 that it will replace except that it's a crew cab instead of a super cab, has electric transfer case instead of manual and a console instead of the 40/20/40 front seat. The sticker on the '25 is $14k more than that of the '17, with probably $2k of the being the SC/CC difference.
Well, I went and did it. I finally got off dead center and ordered a 25. I am hoping to sneak it in under the wire. I really wanted antimatter blue. That is what pushed me to go place an order while the 25 order banks are still open. They couldn’t tell me which wheels I would get since the xlt wheels are all spoken for at this point. They said maybe BAP or tremor. Long McArthur said lariat wheels. I am not a black wheel lover, so I am hoping the lariat wheels are supplied. I am going to hunt down some take offs so I can run dedicated winter and summer tires. My build is F350, CCLB, xlt, snowplow, camper, fifth wheel prep, upfitters, cab lights, jump seat, carpet delete. I am willing to jump to a 26 if I don’t get scheduled. Probably carbonized grey and I might consider the xlt premium package since it can be had with chrome bumpers in 26. It does add a lot of electronic stuff that I am not super excited about. The heated seats would be nice and the led lights as long as they don’t crap out. I just want a pickup to replace the old faithful 2000 F250 v10 that is still super reliable, but is starting to rust through the doors and rear fenders.
I just got my 2025 Platinum Plus last Saturday, it was ordered back in July 2024. Nice truck but I am really disappointed to see that they are bringing back the illuminated keyless door pad in 2026. The dealer installed one didn't arrive with this truck so who knows when that will show up. 2025 Platinum Plus

When the dealer installed one arrives, please let us know if it is a hardwired pad like previous years, or just an adhesive mounted one on the surface. If it is the latter and you want the original, you can buy the 2024 model year parts and install it yourself. The wiring harness is still in the door and the parts are the same.

My KR arrived 3 weeks ago and was the adhesive brick and it now rests still boxed in the bottom of the garage toolbox. I had already ordered the '24 parts and they were installed within 3 days. If I had only known before ordering....
Good to know that the wiring is still there as an option.
I ordered the black "B" post trim panel and original keypad from LevittownFord Parts.com. They shipped a week ago and it has been stuck at UPS in Hodgkins, Illinois for four days. The price was $176 plus shipping. There seems to be some debate over whether or not the part number they are showing is correct or not. I'll let everyone know when it gets here.

Did you do the install, or did you have the dealer do it?
