2020 Ford F350 - XLT or Lariat / options guidance?
Hi all
First time pickup buyer. We will custom order a 2020 Ford F350 - XLT or Lariat
A Hallmark pop up camper will be in it 99.999 % of the time. Currently learning about what options / packages we want.
A few questions to help guide me…
Do I care about Fog Lamps? (does anyone ever use them?)
Do we care about Pedals: Power Adjustable…?
My wife and I share driving when going camping.
Do the driver memories recall the Power Pedals?
Do we need to be Lariat to get power seats and power seat memories? I can’t figure this out.
I didn’t see heated and cooled seats listed anywhere on Lariat specs…. do we need to go higher to get heated and cooled seats? :-(
Do we want to get the 4.3 Electronic Locking Axle?
I believe it is much better for climbing mountains with the 2,500+ truck camper on the back, plus cargo…?
If we move to the midwest (a possibility) … would we want the remote start option, so we can warm up the F350 before getting in it?
How hard is it to wire in external lights, light bars, etc to the Ford optional Outfitter Switches?
with the vehicle (below) configured as we like, Ford offers either LT275/70R x 18E BSW A/T 4X4 tires
or for an extra $290, I could get LT275/70R x 18E OWL A/T tires.
what tires should i get?
I would MUCH rather have the tires come from Ford, from the start, and not have to change them out, and sell the stock tires.
By the way - we always use our cell phones for Navigation (Waze or Google Nav) so we have no use for a built in NAV. Any way to somehow NOT get it, to save $?
On our 8 foot bed, with a 9.5 foot Hallmark - the Ford Reverse Sensing System - will it work with 18” overhang of Hallmark, and also the optional Hallmark Storage bins & rear bumper?
* * * * * For what it is worth - this is the type of pickup + options we are looking at: * * *
F-350 - 2020. Custom ordered.
Crew Cab (4 real doors, most space)
6.2L gas
176” Wheelbase (max)
8 foot bed.
4x4
Single Rear Wheel (SRW)
4.3 Electronic Locking Axle (I believe it is much better for climbing mountains with the 2,500+ truck camper on the back, plus cargo)

Snow Plow / Camper Package.
11,400 GVWR package (or whatever is max GVWR)
Rear Window - privacy glass.
Medium Duty Battery (a second battery)
Alternator Extra Extra HeavyDuty?
LED Roof Marker/Clearance Lamps?
Front 40/20/40 Split Bench Seats (not front console) so driver can exit passenger side if need be. (this is important to us with our current narrow driveway)
Inflatable Rear Outboard Safety Belts (Crew Cab®) - for our daughter.
Cruise Control?
Power Equipment Power Door Locks and Windows
Steering Wheel Audio Controls?Tilt/Telescoping Steering Wheel?
48 Gallon Fuel Tank – 176" Wheelbase?Integrated Trailer Brake Controller?Trailer Hitch Receiver – 2.5" Built Ford Tough® Trailer Hitch Receiver (SRW)?
Hill descent would be very nice. A part of tow package I believe.
stuff John REALLY wants:
Adaptive Cruise Control (Lariat I think? Unsure)?
Platform Running Boards (best if Ford does them. Less hassle, and not “modified” $445 2019.)?
SYNC® 3 for Apple Car Play
have been advised to get:
