I'm trying to figure out a few things. Can I get leather, max tow, super crew, 6.5' box, fx4, 3.5L and bench seat?

I think you only get leather with Lariet and above but they come with bucket seats and shift on center counsel

You can get leather now in almost all models for about a grand. That specific combo might have to be ordered though. A good dealer can search way out and may be able to find one from another dealer.

Yes you can, sort of.
I have that exact set up, with 3.73;in the rear to boot.
The leather is aftermarket katskin but came from the dealer. Ford doesnt put leather from the factory on the 60/40 bench

Xlt,
If your not in a hurry sit down with your dealer and order one. Mine took 5 weeks, but I was able to select options that the "build and price" tool will remove to upsell a higher 300 series package.

You'll likely need to order. I'm in pretty big market area (Denver) and I basically had to order just the get the 6.5 bed with a supercrew. Thought that was surprising that every supercrew had the short bed - all the suburban garages around here must not be long enough? I don't know. You likely won't be able to negotiate quite as good of deal ordering one verses one on the lot, but I buy a truck less than once a decade and I figure I want it exactly how I want it....so i've ordered the last two.

FWIW, I'm very pleased with the truck and the 3.5 turbo. I've got the 3.55 rear and after 3000 miles I've averaged about exactly 21mpg gallon at about 50/50 city vs highway. I do drive like an old grandpa though.....its a lively engine and if you drive it more agressively the mileage can fall off really quick! :)

I have the 3.5 turbo with 355 rear end . I drove to New Mexico last fall hunting 2600 miles round trip driving 75-80 and averaged 17.5 miles per gal. This summer I pulled a enclosed 4-5000 lb 14 ft cargo trailer loaded between 4500-5000 lb loaded and got a rip roaring 9 mpg at 70 miles per hour. Average miles per gal driving 55-60 is 18-19 mpg .

Do you run premium when towing? If not, you ought to give it a whirl.
I tow a 7700# boat with mine and get between 11-12 and that's crossing a small coastal mtn range.
CA is a "55" when towing state so I'm only going 62-65 depending on traffic.

Well I made another trip to New Mexico to hunt elk again I averaged 18 mpg this time driving 75-80 again wind really seams to do bad things to mileage. I had one tank of gas that only got 15 mpg but we thought it was bad gas so that dropped average down . John

Dont forget to add the extended range fuel tank as well. That has been one of the best features to add on for me.

Yes, the 36 gallon tank is sweet.

Overall I like my 2013, but losing a turbo right after the warranty expired was tough.

FYI for F150 owners, if you don't already know, the rear seat backs on a supercrew will fold down. The newer trucks had a strap on the passenger side to fold the rear seat back down to access the jack. The driver's side seat rear will also fold down, but Ford does not install a release strap for that latch. Provides some additional storage space, enough for a rifle, tools, or tire chains behind the rear seat. There are aftermarket straps for those seat back latches.
