Ford truck build

I am trying to figure out the best way to get new truck build the way I like it at it turns impossible.
Don't want to spend extra $10k for options that I don't need, but when I use Ford site to built my truck and start with XL model, it will not let me choose several options like pearl paint, or tan interior.
Nor GPS, when I learned the the center console LCD is just for GPS, while backup camera is using lcd on reverse mirror.
Anybody build Ford Truck to his liking and can share experience here?
My main goal is to get supercab RWD, when those don't exist on dealers lots on whole West Coast (I check dealers in 1000 miles radius)

That is what I am trying to avoid.
Lariat option adds about $12k and is still not giving me some stuff I would like.
I wonder how much visit to a dealer would help me.
I talk to one salesman and he send me to Ford site for custom build.

Build it with a commercial builder and check with dealer fleet sales. http://shop.ford.com/build/superduty-commercial/#/select/

I think you'll likely come out better getting a commercial truck even if you have to have a bed added.

Any more the XL is "low end", options like you want you have to be Lariat... or better.

Yes, I agree, you will have to custom order a RWD with anything other then the "low end". The perception is people want 4WD, always, even when it doesn't make sense.

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.
