If you haven't already done so, make sure you place your order for free Tesla Supercharger adapter from Ford.

I got the base xlt it's what I wanted. Most of the other stuff is nice but just more stuff likely to break.

I did that immediately. I remembered when watching YouTube videos about it that the offer expired at the end of May.

Go to the Ford.com and setup your account, lots of good information you need to explore. Next go to accessories.ford.com and set up your account, I bought the front and rear lightning splash guards, rear(NL3Z16A550BA), front (NL3Z16A550AA).
You should have Ford pass rewards that you can use towards the purchase of any accessory!
If you plan to charge outside you can also buy a weather cover for your charge port and plug.

I'll definitely look into those. Thanks.

You will get enough ford points to buy the OEM lightning splash guards for free. XLT is perfect for me, and mine came with everything listed above too.

Here are all my changes, easy stuff and what I wanted after many trucks. Weathertech impact bedliner is amazing, the swing out boxes are from Amazon as are the rubber mats. Several etsay vendors make the 3D inserts for tailgate and side charging door and fake one on passenger side.

I set up my account after I purchased the truck. Should I get some Rewards points for this? If so, do they come after a certain amount of time? It's only been 4 days, but just curious.

sw engineering manager,
If you want all the bells and whistles get the highest trim you can afford! As Ford gives you nothing with the Pro but four tires and two EV motors, and then as you go up in trim you get more features and electronic tech.
I was pleasantly surprised to find my 2022 Pro came with the auto-dimming zone high beams. Also has a lot of cameras and parking sensors that came with the tow tech package. The plastic seats are fine. I actually like the rubber floor. No need for power seats as I am the only driver.

Yes, you should get reward points for your purchase, as for the details you should log into your account and talk to customer service. I used some of mine for a state inspection and some for accessories.
