08 ordering help

I got the go ahead to order a new company truck. I am looking at a 08 250 CC SWB 4x4 V10 manual FX4. I have to keep the price as close to $35k as possible so the only options selected are audiophile, camper pkg. I am going manual and cloth to keep the price down, but going FX4 to get a few extras, wheels, etc.

My question is: Can trailer tow mirrors be ordered alone? I have tried to figure this out, but the Ford site says you have to add power seats or automatic tranny or other stuff to get the mirrors. I don't need the powerfold fancy ones, just the regular trailer tow mirrors.

If not, has anyone swapped mirrors yet? Price? Ease of install?

Thanks.

J.

Yes they are an option, order code (54K) manual for XLT or (54F) power fold for FX4. Also look into getting the "Tow Command Integrated Trailer Brake Controller" (52B).

Here is a link to the "Order Guide"
http://www.sunrisefordfleet.com/pdfs...er%20Guide.pdf

You should be able to buy this truck for invoice before any factory rebates are taken off. If your dealer won't sell you the truck for invoice less rebates then find a new dealer.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply and the order guide link Blackhat. I am getting a good price, I used to sell with the fleet manager and we buy a lot of trucks from him. It's my boss that I have to keep happy and around $35k.

I saw that the only mirrors with an "O" by the FX4 were the "Powerscope." Is that my only option with the FX4 package? On the "build a Ford" site it won't let me select any mirror without changing other options?!

Also do you know the option cost for either mirror?

Thanks again for all the help.

snakebit,

Yes with the FX4 you have to get the "Power" Trailer tow mirrors, with the XLT only package you can get the "Manual" Trailer tow mirrors.

Hope this helps
