I got a Lariat screw 502a package but does not have FX4 and I have the small gas tank.
But yea it's too bad it's not something you can just go back to the dealer and get it added on. I'd like to have the bigger tank, e-locking diffs, & hill descent..
Oh well, maybe when I trade up in 10 yrs I'll get it

Yep, I regret not getting FX4 package. Two weeks after taking delivery of my truck, I was on vacation in Tennessee and the hill to the cabin had a 17 degree grade and I wished I had the hill descent control.

Is that off-road status screen only available on FX4 models or all models with 8" cluster screen?

I believe it's on all models with the 8" productivity (cluster) screen. I have the off-road status screen with no FX4 package.

My xlt has it. 4x4 but no fx4 package. Thats on the xlt smaller screen but mine does have it

I don't have any regrets. I opted with regular 4X4. I use brakes and/or use the +/- buttons to lock out the higher gears to help hold it back. You can also use Sport or tow/haul mode to help. Works for me. Besides, hill decent control kicks out above 20mph.

I have no need for lockers, and the FX4 "off road shocks" are a joke. I'm getting a leveling kit and going with ICON shocks that are actually worth the money.

The only thing i like about the fx4 package is the decals

I have a 2WD XLT, and I have the Offroad status screen

The fx4 package does not offer that much. The hill descent is probably the most desirable here.

You can get better aftermarket shocks and skid plates or even add OEM one.
Most non-FX4 trucks do come with E-locker now too.

agreed 1000000%. The fx4 package is not worth it at all, IMO. Fox 2.0s and OEM takeoff skidplates from egay and you're better than OE, at a fraction of the cost.
