IMO, I wouldn't pay over $45k for that, and that would be adding in a premium because it's a Roush which you seem to really want (which is just stickers, grille, cheap lift, and wheels/tires from what I see).
That is such an insane price for an XLT with those kinds of things on it that I wouldn't even be entertaining the idea personally. $45k could get you an XLT 302A with a real lift and whatever exhaust, grille, wheels/tires you wanted.
EDIT: Just to add to the perspective others have given you - I paid right around $51k for a 601A King Ranch in early 2016 when the incentives were pretty low. I say buy an XLT or Lariat and build it how you want - you'll come out ahead.

It's a dealership but we've bought 6 vehicles from them over the past year for our family (all traded in on fords) + vehicles for our work. I know the GM and sales manager well because of that - so they said I could just borrow it for the day. That will be fun at least.
Just trying to ascertain if the $55k is a good investment. I have a high end package now (platinum loaded out) but this Roush makes my truck look like a truck it would date lol. Definitely a bad *** look vs just a pretty truck. I know I would loose the leather seats. Don't think that's a deal breaker. I think all Roush come like that - the dealers just add the leather seat covers. Guess I could always ask them to throw that in? I loose cooled seats - but I never used those anyway. Comes with heated seats - which is the only part I ever used. I think in reading the only other thing you loose since it's an XLT pkg is you do from hid lights to bulbs. Not sure what that will look like at night, will have to test it.
Just trying to determine if the $55,500 is a great deal, or if I should beat them up on price some. If so, what should I shoot for? Lower price. Get them to upgrade the seats to leather? Maybe buy the supercharger at cost and install for free? Etc. just wanting feedback for what y'all think.

One question: How much would it cost you to equip your existing truck and make it look similar to the Roush? A whole lot less than trading. I much prefer to build my vehicles myself.
That said, if you want the truck and it's not taking food off the table or keeping you from providing essentials for the family, go ahead and buy it.
OP, you have hit on a pet peeve of mine - a new truck is not an investment. You cannot call a depreciating asset an investment; it's simply a purchase.

Purchased a Lariat then upgraded with a Roush supercharger kit w/ a custom tune (675 hp), Roush Fox 2.0 suspension kit, Roush F-150 fender flare kit, Roush Mickey Thompson wheel & tire pkg, and a catback exhaust of my choice (Corsa Sport catback)
Not a big fan of the Roush graphics, but I did do the Roushcharged graphic for the hood.
It's my version of a SC'd Roush F-150.

I wouldnt do it. I just bought a 2017 xlt sport screw for 40900 OTD. They gave me close to 27k for my trade which is what I owed. You could easily get more for your trade too. They are low balling you.
You could do all this to a XLT and then have more money left over to upgrade performance.
it your money but its not a good deal.

They are just going to hand u the keys and say go give it a whirl for a day without paying? Is this a Ford dealer or a private dealership? Never heard of that!!
I agree with scrappy, this truck has no supercharger, leather, led lights and more
If your looking to spend that kind of money u could get a higher package or spend a little more and get a raptor.
But if your set on a roush pull the trigger

The platinum is not a 4WD - which is the main reason I am wanting to trade it in and why the value is at 27,500. I agree with everyone's advice - I'm definitely not a buyer at $55k. If it was priced in the upper 40s it would make sense and be a good looking ride for that. Overpriced for the name
