I've been on the fence about buying a new Super Duty for at least two years now, and with more and more rumors swirling that they are closing the order banks for the 2016's on August 31st to gear up f...

Price-wise, you are doing great. Take a look at TrueCar just to confirm, but it looks very good. I love my 2012 Lariat FX4 PSD SB. I can drive it around town without a problem and park at the grocery store. A long bed would be much harder to get along with in town.
The Nav system and Sync are awesome. I use them all the time. Sun roof only occasionally when it's cool and sunny. Could definitely live without it. The tailgate step is vital. I also put in a rubber bed mat, but not a bed liner. Wish I had the rapid cab heat.
If considering an F450, check taxes and registration cost. I'm not sure if there is a big jump or not, but a friend mentioned it when he was looking.
The only, and I mean only, complaint I have about my 2012 PSD is the puny stock fuel tank. I've been considering a 50 gal aftermarket tank by TransferFlow out of Chico, CA. When towing the boat to the coast, I have my fuel stops all figured out. However, with a new TT being delivered on Monday, I'm probably looking at a usable range of 200 miles. I won't be following the same known routes, as the goal is to explore the West. Also, diesel costs vary quite a bit in California, so I can fill up with cheaper fuel in inland areas, then make it back without buying the expensive stuff.
I usually top off the DEF tank at a truck stop every few months. Filling it from jugs is kind of a pain. Not a big deal, though. Enjoy!
