Good Luck. I hope you get it quickly. (hope you even get it by next camping season)
Thanks. I have an out if it doesn't arrive by June. It is the quickest job code and highest retail priority code so I'm hopeful. Also gas have been faster apparently. But the Fifth wheel prep package worries me about adding delays. I added it to get the bed 7 pin connector. Maybe I should have just had it installed after the fact. But labour is expensive here in Canada.

On my 2019 F250, the plug cost about $50 online. Plug it in under the bed, cut a small hole and install in bed. About a half hour including time to figure out where you want to put the hole.

Oddly or silly as it might be, in 2017 the Factory 5th wheel harness plugs in near the bumper and is long enough to route under the truck to the front drivers side (one of 6) stake/support channels.

Considering this is a one and done pickup, I'd keep the fifth wheel prep package. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't go with a fifth wheel when the family grows.
It also gives you the flexibility to tow other types of goose neck trailers.
'10 Ford F-450, 6.4, 4.30, 4x4, 14,500 GVWR, '06 Host Rainer 950 DS, Torklift Talon tiedowns, Glow Steps, and Fastguns. Bilstein 4600s, Firestone Bags, Toyo M655 Gs, Curt front hitch, Energy Suspension bump stops.

I agree about keeping the 5th wheel package. If you don't need it the next person will and he will repay you for it when you sell it.

From dealer "It has been known to cause delays yes. If you do not need the 5th wheel prep pack, this could highly improve the timeframe for the shipment of the vehicle."
I can get 5th wheel prep done later and pay more, the extra money doesn't concern me... Also I am getting $8k off with X-plan... This summer is important to me. I may have to rent or buy an in between truck if delays get out of hand...
