3 options you couldn't live without

As you can see, I am a new-b to this site. I am not using this thread to talk about that. My question is what 3 options you had to have when you purchased your super duty? No I don't have a truck right now but am planning on buying one in the near furure. That is why I am asking.

V10, LS 4.30's, auto tranny (just because it doesnt have the stupid granny gear). Other than that its all Fluff!

Ford should love me, at least somebody there's kids will go to college off my truck alone. I think the only option I didnt get is the sensors on the back bumper, two tone paint, and the "King Pimp" package. Sorry, its just a little to "south side Blingy for me"

Amen! I know of houses that are cheaper than this thing I'm ordering. I agree with the king ranch thing, that saddle leather looks terrible. I'll just stick with the Lariat (another option I couldn't live without)

It would be nice to still get the 7.3 as an option.

The V10 is a gas pig. Before it starts do the math. I get 16mpg in my 6.0 psd with my foot in the turbo. The V10 gets 10 on a good day (average) Yes gas id about 25cents cheaper but at a 6mpg (average) difference why not get the extra power.
