Not bad. Better than when I bought mine but I bought mine when the 2015 was still new so less deals and incentives. So... basically any of the deals you guys are getting is a hell of a lot better than mine lol

$200 for level is just for the kit. People didn't include the two or three hours of labor that a shop will charge to install which is another couple hundred to three hundred.
$1300 for tires is too pricey and even if you paid retail pricing for the tires you need to ask for the stock tires cuz those are easily worth $100 a piece sold on Craigslist.
All things considered I got my 2015 Lariat Screw 5.0 FX4 for about $47.3k with just a spray in liner but I added a 2" level $450 and $285/tire (285/60/18 Trail Grapplers) but sold the stock tires for $300 fire sale. So technically, I got the same truck except lariat trim for about $48.5k minus the 20" wheels and navigation.

But with the Trail Grapplers, 2" level and front air dam removal, I'm at best 16.5mpg with 90/10 hwy/city or about 14mpg 50/50 on 87 octane.
On e85 I get about 14mpg on 90/10 hwy/city and about 11.5-12mpg on 50/50.

I speked the truck out on true car with the sticker after all the rebates it said a great price was 43,072. They added leather for 1400 590 for level and 1400 for tires I agree that's way to high. They offered the truck to me for 45,549. The total with true car price plus dealer add on options is 46,272. Discounttire installed tires for the bfg 285/55/20 was 1360. I agree the level is high and I don't know what katskin leather goes for? I guess I'll over 45k even and ask them to do a spray in bed liner that sound fair?
I think you may have missed the $2000 XLT package discount in TrueCar. For some reason, it is at the bottom of the options list and not automatically checked when you select the XLT Chrome Package. I missed it the first time, but say it on the window sticker when the MSRP did not match. I believe your great price should be around $41000. By the way, I added the factory bedliner option for a Linex estimate in TrueCar because I though you said it had been added already.
Good luck. It looks like a nice truck.
