Well after visit to dealer looks like silver will be color choice.
As far as the input on not getting the FX4 package not sure why that is not a recommended package to add, is there a concern it will raise height more than it is already at with F450 and camper prep package?
Good info on tailgate camera options, I went to the site Camera-source.com and found part CS-FTRSK-17SDRC, appears I can swap this for tailgate camera when not using tailgate. Kayteg your system looks good and appreciate the part number for the ext cable in your build link. The work you did sorting this out will help me and others trying to utilize the camera system.
I have checked on F450 commercial truck concerns. Per the bank, my car insurance company and licensing they treat F450 the same as F350 other than overall value of truck increase. The good thing is both the F350 and F450 are exempted from paying transit tax. I have heard about concerns with F450 being “considered a commercial truck” but so far I’m not finding that with bank, insurance and licensing. Hopefully when I actually get truck, I do not get a surprise...
I also found out today that if I want LED lighting which I do, I must also get the BLIS blind spot system. I do not know why Ford makes me buy BLIS to get the quad beam headlights and tail lights but that is the way they set it up. The BLIS sensors are covered by the the truck camper. Maybe if enough of us F350/450 camper owners complain about BLIS not being usable when hauling a camper, Ford will come out with some type of adapter or extension cable that would allow the BLIS sensors to be moved from the tail lights to side of camper.
