So saying 10k off a 30k truck...well you do the math (not possible) unless you take some ridiculous interest rate. They might for 12 or 15% interest and the finance arm makes the points.

Bottom line there is NO WAY you can make it an FX4 for a few hundred bucks

4.6 to 5.4 considerable difference
Rims - more than a few hundred bucks
skids plates
fog lights
running boards
console - I prefer it
power option package (seats etc)
shocks/springs etc.
Higher tow rating
etc

I am sure there are more but if you add all these up it is more than a few hundred bucks. Buy what you like, but thinking there is a 25k difference is a joke.

Bottom line

XL MSRP 32k take 22% off
FX4 MRSP 40k or so take 22% off

and there is your difference in price. Now decide which works for you and be done with it.
I was given bad data. The acutal price of the 2010 XL SCREW LOADED WAS OVER $38K. After crunching the numbers I decided against the XL. I am FX4 now. Thank you for your support.

Thank you for your support. I was given bad data by a friend who was a little bit biased being an XL owner himself. The XL bargain was actually an 08 and the price difference between xl xlt fx4 was only a small amount. $1 to $3k difference. Base to base. With the typical discount. The 2010 XL loaded was over $38k. I was like are you crazy? This is the base model? This does not include the extra options I need to meet my needs. To meet my needs I would have to add the options to the $38k. Adding the options myself would add several thousands more and I am not sure I could do it all. The XL would wind up costing me almost $45k when all is said and done and would look like *** if my friends paint job came out wrong or the wheels started making a vibration noise with the sand bags loaded. I told my friend I might as well get the XLT, FX4 then or a King Lariat at that price. He told me buy what you need, buy what works for you, why buy options if they are the same? Then I told him I know the XL was NOT essentially the same as the Platinum and he got mad. I did not care what he said anymore about this topic because he gave me bad data to start with so I decided to go with the FX4 to meet my needs with the 5.4. My advice is don't listen to friends. Get good data. Then buy what you need. Buy what works for you. Buy what works for you with good data.

Wow, "bad data" my butt! You had plenty of people here tell you what's what, you're just unable to listen. Try taking some personal responsibility for what crap spews from your keyboard.

By the way, nobody here has been supporting you... You're so full of it, you make the diaper of a baby with the squirts look clean!

Oh, and about the 99.9% Raptor comment, only fools like you wouldn't know the difference. The Raptor is far more than just a trim level, for one thing it's actually wider than other F150s. Of course you probably won't believe me...

If this guy wants to get an xl and put on FX4 stickers or Range Rover stickers, let him do it. It's his truck and he is the one driving it.

Read it again. My statement is completely true. I never said Raptors look like the XL. I said 99% of people will think it is a Raptor if you put the Raptor emblems on an XL. Why? Because 99% of people do not eve know what a Raptor is. You may know on the forum but this forum is such a small part of the 300 million people in this country or 7 billion people in the world. You are correct that Raptors don't look like an XL but that is not what I was talking about. Buy what you need.

The facts are I was given bad data. The facts are the 2010 XL Screw 4x4 loaded is $37k with the SMALLER engine. Not including all of the options I would have to add to meet my needs.

You don't listen either. I know that the Raptor is more than a trim level. That was not what I was talking about but of course you probably can't read. Thank you for your support. Buy what you need.

Thank you for your support. Yeah. It is my truck and I am the one driving it. I was thinking about making an Alice Cooper edition FX4. I am not sure how I will go about it yet but I have to leave now.

You could dangle a couple of Alice autographed golf ***** in a net sack, from the trailer hitch.

If I hear "buy what you need" what more time my head is gonna explode cause a couple days ago you were complaining about how the fx4 had too many unnecessary things and yet you are buying it anyway. And the raptor comment was the dumbest thing I have ever heard. If no one apparently knows what a raptor is, what is the point of putting raptor emblems on an XL?
