Default Need some Feedback on XLT options

Ok after some feedback in the Discount thread and search the forum for a month. I have narrowed my search down to a XLT. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!


For sure options:

XLT Screw Flame Blue
2.7L 4X4
3.73 locking
302A package
Extended Range Tank
Sport package


Options I am not sure if I need:

Payload package - Do not haul heavy loads very often. If I do mostly short trips. Seems like a tans cooler may be nice to have.

Pro Trailer Backup - Pull a trailer once a month. Just seems like a cool feature.

Integrated Trailer Brake – Think I need this just for that 1 – 2 times a year I pull something heavy.

Blis Blind Spot information - I have no idea about this. Any input would be great love it, hate it.

Led Side-Mirror Sportlights - Not sure how much use this would get. But I can see where this would be nice.

Tailgate Step - Everyone I know that has one loves it and recommends it.

Twin Panel Moonroof - It would be nice to have, but not sure worth the money or leak issues.

Kicker Sub - Looks like I could get this later if I wanted it. Is it worth the $695

Navigation - Don’t think I need these since I think I can just use my phone with Sync 3.

Thanks Much!!

Personally I'd add 4x4 and at least a 3.55 axle. I really don't think you would be happy with a 2.73 rear gear. The rest of that stuff, pass...

My understanding, at least for the 15s, is that you couldn't get the 36 gallon tank in anything except the 5.0 V8.

It lets me build it on the site, for whatever that is worth.

In the order Guide for 2016 looks like it is a option for everything but 300A and 122" WB
