I think the F250-350 has an option for an external trailer camera. As far as I know that's not available on a F150. Now that being said doesn't mean you couldn't perhaps retrofit one to a F150.

Maybe the ForScan gods will crack this stuff eventually. I would love to have an OEM solution.
Scheduled my appointment for LINEX/B&W/5100 for next week at my buddy's shop.
Should have my leather steering wheel installed this afternoon or tomorrow, depending on when it arrives.
They do look really good on a white truck. I wouldn't not have thought about those. They are somewhat rare, it seems like most Lariats have the either the chrome or sport option wheels.
OP sweet truck! I have those wheels. They're my favorite 18s but I really want 20s haha
For seat covers I would go with marathon. I've had multiple brands and after running marathons on this truck for 3 years I will never go with another brand. By far the best on the market.
As for tows or no tows. I syarsta out with standard and upgraded to tows. At first they did look a bit big when looking at the truck from the front, but after having that extra visibility with the large cinvex mirror and all that I would personally never go back to standard mirrors, but that's me.
I thought heavily about getting the platinum wheel, but the price for one was quite a bit more than the PN for a standard leather wheel (black trim). I like the silver trim, but wasn't really sure it was worth the extra.
I ended up ordering PN: HL3Z-3600-DB for $136.46 from Tasca. Shipping was a steep $30 as well, so I added in some MotorCraft air and oil filters while I was at it and they didn't add much to shipping costs.
Interior is starting to feel more like the $45-50k version of these trucks, but I'm still into this truck way south of $40k.
Good choice in upgrade. This was one of my favorite changes made to my XL. Just an FYI I would recommend checking out some of the other Ford online part stores as Tasca is always the worst on shipping prices.

I agree, your steering wheel looks great! Tasca's prices are good but shipping is high...I've had good luck with Autonation White Bear Lake in Minnesota, their prices and usually a tiny bit less unless you have a promo code from Tasca.
Shipping should be a less to because they are in the northern Midwest.
Kudos to Tasca though. I had console panel that had some scratches they sent me a replacement and paid for the shipping both way so I can't complain about their service.
Bedliner (LINEX Premium) and the 5100s going in today.
I decided on the 1.75" lift for the 5100s on the front. I went back and forth from 1.25 to 1.75" settings and finally decided on the 1.75". We will see how this impact MPG from here.
My MPG stats so far (~2k miles), these are GPS verified (corrected), hand calculated, 275/70/R18 BFG KO2 E Range, unleveled:
Tank #1 (break in): 26.6 gallons, 433 miles, 16.3 MPG. 25% city 75% highway, lots of idling and going up and down through the RPM range for break in
Tank #2: 21.8 gallons, 405 miles, 18.6 MPG, 20% city, 80% highway, 75 MPH on highway. Some minor towing duty (7' x 12' trailer with lumber)
Tank #3: 26.5 gallons, 449 miles, 17.0 MPG, 20% city, 80% highway, 70 MPH on highway. Some heavy towing for ~100 miles (5k lbs)
Tank #4: 32.3 gallons, 628 miles, 19.4 MPG, 20% city, 80% highway, 70 MPH on highway. No towing. Econ drive mode.
Hoping to crack the 20 MPG mark on an upcoming tank. Going to try a little slower on the freeway to see how that impacts things.
Leveled using 1.75" setting on Bilstein 5100. Rear Bilstein as well.
Ride is improved, particularly rear end on pavement. No noticeable MPG hit from the level thus far, but it hasn't been too long, just a single tank which had some towing. Still loving this truck! Zero issues so far except an odd code I got for plugging in a trailer with bad lighting, which was cleared using Ford's tool.
