2018 F150 Lariat with 3.5 Ecoboost, 2WD, and Technology Package
I'm thinking about purchasing a 2018 Lariat 2WD Supercrew with the 3.5 Ecoboost and the Technology Package option. This combination is available on the 2017 model and looks to be available on the 2018 based on the order guide. However, when I try to configure a 2018 that way on the Build and Price site on Ford.com, the Technology package doesn't appear.
The Technology Package is available with the Lariat trim if you select the V-8 or if you select the 3.5 Ecoboost and four-wheel drive. There doesn't appear to be anything inherently incompatible with the 3.5, 2WD, and Tech package because one can configure that combination on the Platinum and King Ranch and it's standard on the Limited.
Is this an error on Ford's site or have I missed something in the order guide? The Platinum trim level is nice, but those retractable running boards just seem like one more thing to go wrong in the long-term. Plus, it's several thousand more than a Lariat equipped the way I'd like it. (However, I have test driven a 2016 Platinum and those butt-massaging seats are pretty sweet if you're a cranky, stove-up old man like me.)
Anyone out there have any insight on this odd quirk?

I think it's just a website problem...I was building a Platty and wanted 3.15 e-locker...wasn't avail on website...but went to dealer and it was no problem.
I'm on my second Platinum with retractable boards...and I will say...it's the 1 thing I like the best and would never want a truck again without them.

SuperCab / 6.5': http://shop.ford.com/build/f150/?gna...WD.44G.LAR.%5D
SupcerCrew is glitched. Its available but won't show on the website for some reason.
