Well the car is almost sold (haven't received the money yet) but it should be a done deal.

Can you guys tell me what you consider are useful options. i.e. Tailgate Step, Bed Extender

I know I want the Nav (not for the Nav, just for the radio interface) and the Luxury Package.

Should I get anything else?

How do the decals hold up? Are they a pita when waxing (I assume so)?

Any help greatly appreciated. This is my 1st truck so I'm a little out of my comfort zone.

Only get graphics if you dont get black. Get every other option there is to get no BS. You will want it, wish you had it if you dont and be kicking your pants bc you could have bc it was a special order and it will only increase re-sale value. HOWEVER, research this forum going back two months before you cmmit so you are aware of how long your wait time will be. When I ordered I was told 2-3 months max. I take delivery this coming Friday, finally, and that will mark 4 months in terms of days or 5 months in terms of actual months as I ordered in October yet take delivery in Febrary. Now Ford says 4-5 months based on a new wholesale allocation delay that went into effect in December or January. So if you order tomorrow morning....you wont see your truck until July (Best) or August (worst). So hurry up and wait. haha. But use that time to research and stay informed. Good Luck. PS-note by August you will be able to order a 2013--and if me I would based on new headlights!! Bhahaha

well when i first ordered a truck i didnt have hood graphics, tailgate step or bed extender. now that i have them, i love them! if you can afford it, get it all is how i feel... the one thing i use the least is the step.... even tho its there i just throw my knee up and get in, but my dad and some older friends appreciate it very much! the extender is great too for when you have smaller stuff in the bed, its like a small coral for everything!

so i suggest getting all options.... even if you dont always use it, the times you do will be win, and if you want to resell, thats more on the asking price.. just my opinion of course.

i got everything EXCEPT the blue accent interior(wasnt crazy about the way it looked), graphics(didnt like the look), tailgate step(my last truck was much taller and never really felt the need for it), bed extender(i got plenty of good ratchet straps). just my opinion everyone is different. i also needed to shave a few bucks off the truck so those were the ones i didnt see worth paying for. as said above if u can afford it get it all!
