First, let me start off by thanking all of you for the amazing info available on this site! My hats off especially to Bob Curry who personally responded when I reached out to him and he gave me some words of wisdom AND turned me onto his dealer who gave me a price that matched Granger and is a heck of a lot closer to me here in FL.

Take a look at what I ordered and let me know if you see anything that might cause delay issues. I already removed the bed liner based on feedback here on delays.
  • Lariat Screw 4x4, 5.5 bed
  • Star White
  • Powerboost
  • 502A
  • Trailer Tow Package
  • 7.2kW Gen
  • 360 Degree Camera Package
  • Power tailgate w/step
  • Wheel well liner
  • Power trailer tow mirrors/telescoping
  • Floor liners
Open to suggestions on the config. I'm trying to maximize payload but have some of the bells/whistles/comfort items as well. After pouring through the payload sticker thread, analyzing the weight/specs sheet on options, and looking at some PB's on the lot I think this should get over 1500lbs on payload. Not a fan of moon/sun roofs, don't need power running boards, work surface, locking storage, or the super high end stereo (hearing can't discern the difference after 50 years on motorcycles), etc. Let me know if you think I'm missing something. Thanks!

Now the wait begins.............

One major item that will cause a delay is that it is an F150. Other than that you're good.
Right, that and it's a Powerboost - what the heck was I thinking! :eek:;)

If you want front parking sensors, make sure to add the 360 Active Prep package as they are a strange omission from the 502A. I got them by accident when I bought off the lot, but after being parked in by an inconsiderate person on the weekend am now very glad I have them.

For payload maximization, you might want to consider dropping the power tailgate.

I’ve never seen a weight number for it, but it seems to be one of the heaviest options. I would have dropped it if I could, but in Canada, KR requires 601A, which includes the power tailgate.

Wheel well liners might be something to be concerned with. Easy enough to install yourself at a later date. Might be worth leaving them off.
I agree with this. Picked up a set of OEM liners for $166 delivered to my door. Piece of cake to install.

I debated this a lot. According to the weight/specs doc it adds 40lbs. The trade off for me is that you can't get the step without it, unlike previous years. I'm getting to the age point where I don't really want to be crawling onto that tailgate and then jumping down so I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet on that weight. Plus, having had that step feature before, it is so much better to get in and out of the bed. Thanks for the suggestion!
