I love all my options. If I had to lose one, it would be adaptive cruise. I just haven't gotten to the point where i can trust the computer to brake for me. I always want to brake sooner, or not as aggressive, or speed up at a different rate. Maybe one day i'll get there, but I don't use it much, if at all, right now.

The rest, i'm glad i have. When ordering my vehicle, i figured it's better to have and not use, than not have and need it.

No, I'm saying I'll pay somebody to remove theirs, and then "dispose" of it for them.

I really wanted it but the trucks I found didn't have it and I was surprised that Ford doesn't sell it as a kit. I'll probably end up with an AMP research step instead.

I love having the 36 gal tank. Oddly the other options I enjoy the most on my truck were ones I never would have considered. They just happened to be on the truck I wanted.

BLIS - First vehicle i've had with blind spot detection and it's much more useful than I thought

Sync connect - Didn't think it was necessary bc of the remote start but soon realized the only place I am in range for the remote start on the key fob is at my house. I love being able to start my truck up from the app when I'm leaving the office and having it warmed up in the winter or cooled down in the summer by time I get to the parking garage.

Tailgate step - Honestly thought this was a gimmick or only for old people but it's great and I use it all the time.

Puddle lamps - great for visibility at night when driving off road at the campsite etc.

I'm 6' 3" and would struggle to get into the bed without the tailgate step.

Also love that the cloth seats are heated on my XLT. Parking outdoors in the winter, this is a great feature...

My "no regret" list:
- 3.5l Ecoboost
- LED headlights
- Adaptive cruise (we take a lot of long trips)
- Technology package (specifically the 360 degree camera view)
- 36 gal tank
- Tailgate step
- Ventilated seats
- Power mirrors

Things I would skip if I were to do it over again:
- Pano roof (squeaks/leaks ... have to avoid while loading kayaks on topper)

ME... the Adaptive Cruise... I use the crap out of it... My journey to and from work, sometimes is a slinky chain nightmare, and this thing keeps me sane... Now.. I just set it, and let my truck to all the work of speeding up and slowing down, while I relax and drink a cup of coffee.

The next thing I use the most, is my fold up rear seat.. using that constantly!

Being I bought my current Lariat used I didn't have a lot of choice. One thing - about the only thing- that I wish for is the heated steering wheel. I have a nasty case of arthritis - holding the cold wheel until it warms up is quite painful.

I agree with others about BLIS. I am a former truck driver - have always depended on my mirrors. Once I saw it work when backing out of a parking spot I was sold. I don't spend any time on highways so the blind spot thing doesn't affect me.
