You might want to get in touch with DarrenWS6, he's been looking for that exact truck since I bought mine, but didn't want to buy new. And he's in north central PA, Mansfield I think.

Well provided everything goes well at the dealership in the morning, I pick up a 2015 F-250 in the morning.
Magnetic, 6.2L, Lariat CC, 4x4, 3.73 E-Locker, Interior Package, Tow, Snow Plow Prep, Upfitter Switches, Cab Marker Lights, 20" Premium Cast wheels, Navigation, Sony, Tailgate Step, Skid Plates, Engine Block heater (need it these days)
Ended up OTD for $2,500 more than I did for my FX4, the 2013 held its value.
I'll put a picture in here tomorrow, but I'll also start a thread in the SD section.

That is a very pretty truck. I think sterling gray looks better with those options, but that blue runs a close second. The sound is what sold me on the 5.0 as well. For us old guys(like ME) tickling the throttle on the 5.0 produces a sound that is only rivaled by the sound produced when pleasuring a woman. What can I say? I'm hooked on v8s- I even bought the wife a '15 Mustang GT Premium and I "borrow it" from time to time.
A thousand congrats!

I loved my EcoBoost, great engine and great truck. I really don't have a great reason for why I traded it in. I always wanted a loaded down FX4, but got gun shy about the price. I sold my four wheeler in November and I always told the woman that I either had an XLT and a quad or just the loaded down truck. Once I sold the quad she asked me if I was going to get the truck I always wanted, so I started looking. She also remarked that she wants me to stop flipping through vehicles after we get married and she requested that the truck I own when she walks down the aisle we are keeping for 5 years. So I figured I might as well get what I want. Found this truck in December and pretty much knew I had to have it (or one like it). I couldn't get the dealership to play ball in December so I walked away. February came and I started looking hard (7 different dealerships)... Lariat's, Platinum's, KR's...you name it. I just couldn't find what I wanted optioned the way I wanted it. I had forgot all about this truck and one Tuesday morning I called D-Patrick Ford and asked about any FX's they had..... Low and behold they still had this one from December. Made a deal in 15 minutes over the phone and picked it up that night. And this isn't my first blue flame either... I did miss the rumble of a V8 and I was extremely impressed with the 5.0's I had driven. I was able to get a great buy on a truck that had everything I wanted. I wouldn't hesitate to buy any F-150 with any engine they offer.
The best part is my truck stays in the garage now and only comes out on nice weather days.

I seen your thread in the 15-16 section, nice truck! The new body style is by far my favorite.

I just can't seem to find the truck I want to keep.... I think now she just expects it.
This new one is by far the most refined truck I have had. Fun to drive too!
