Got an email that my truck is in production. So it looks like the start and stop was deleted, I’m fine with that. Could not get carbon fiber or the bead lock wheels. I see that the spray in bedliner is not on there. My sales person is out with surgery so trying to research. I’m assuming The dealer can do a decent job With the spray in bed-liner? Also steering wheel heater was deleted as well. Anything that I might be missing would be appreciated if it could be brought to my attention. Thanks in advance
These are the wheels that I went with, as I think the Azure Grey needs the black wheels. Totally subjective just my opinion

Your official deletes (meaning on the sticker with a credit) are the same as every other 2023 rolling down the assembly line. I have obsessively followed for a while so i will fill in what i can. (my 23 is in prod right now as well)
-Active stop start, just forget about this one its been gone since 22 and most don't like it anyway
-Heated wheel There is alot of chatter on the heated wheel. Ford says for ICE trucks they will NOT be offering any official no cost retrofit, as far as they are concerned its gone. (lightning IS going to get a retrofit, has a smaller refund, but TBD on when) Right now the best option being explored by folks is copying what many with lower trim trucks are doing, replace wheel with new wheel with heating element, appropriate clock spring and harness, and forescan to activate and either enable soft buttons in the UI or upgrade the HVAC panel to the one the heated buttons and forescan that in. Personally, I am holding out some hope for a factory backed aftermarket kit sold by FP. I figure I wont get my truck till end of Jan at the earliest so most of this winter will have passed and I can reassess next fall if I want to go the "unofficial" route
-Bedliner, this is not an official delete, However the bedliner for the past year or so is often on commodity hold and would delay the truck being scheduled or actually completed. What almost certainly happened is the zone rep told the dealer bedliner would be a delay and they removed it on your behalf without asking (forgiveness vs permission or can just blame it on ford), you would not be the first one on these forums for that to happen to. My dealer (And hopefully yours) does alot of F150/truck business and advised me to skip it and go with linex (not from dealer, would be independent but your dealer may have a relationship) to take one less thing out of the list of 100 items that are delaying these trucks.
Congrats on having your order go into production! Just curious what is included with Advanced Security Pack Removal?
- Advanced sec pack, we lose the inclination and intrusion motion sensor. so if door or tailgate opened improperly (plus other basic alarm functions) alarm will still sound. If window shattered or truck hoisted on flatbed/towarm alarm will not sound.
