700A doesn't come with the camera. it's optional just like a 502A Lariat.

the cooled seats don't work worth a crap in my Lariat.

I too could have gone Platinum. I went with Lariat 502a with the sport package because of looks, and I can't stand wood trim, fake or real. Also, the rear applique, even though it is nice looking, screamed "look at me". Lariat it was, couldn't be happier.

Keep in mind if you're ordering a 2018, you can delete the Platinum applique.

This is completely incorrect. Platinum leather is perforated.

Don't order the chrome package. That is what I did. I wanted the body color mirrors and door handles, the KR wheels and did not want the Tailgate appliqué.

The appliqué is the only cue that gives the reminiscent feeling of an old truck. With the colored FORD or CHEVEROLET painted across and with a painted appliqué.

That is pretty nice. I really like it.
I wonder what it would look like if the platinum lettering were left as chrome. I think that would look really nice.

and the OP is looking at a 700A which doesn't come with it.
