Scott, I appreciate your efforts, it will at least let someone know, if they really got to have it, this is what it will take.
That makes at least two of us. Although I have the folding workstation in my Platinum, I do appreciate someone with the ability to provide an accurate answer chiming in.
Ha it's only a $150 factory optionAlright, I've got an update. As much as I would love to be the "work station guy" I just don't think we can make it work. There are options based on trim level and interior color. I put together an example listing, based on a Limited with black interior. Cost + 20%, which is well below MSRP, is $800 and that's not including hardware, that's just major components.
On top of all these excuses, nothing is available yet looks like maybe 3-4 weeks lead time.
I'll keep up on availability and update this thread in the future. Anyone that is still interested after knowing pricing, we can PM and figure out the details at a later date.
Like I said, this is based off a limited trim, with black interior. But here is an example.
Keep in mind when its installed at the factory they only care about the *difference* in price between the parts for the option and the parts that would still be installed without the option. Its likely that all the parts for a non-workstation truck costs nearly as much... but its not like you can get a refund for the parts you're taking off after you've bought the truck.
Is there any dealer stocks around your area? Is the truck you built really unique that it is impossible to find a close match from dealer current inventory or dealer orders in transit? Try use the inventory search at Ford.com and see if you can find a match instead of waiting for another order.
I agree with this as your first option, second I say, take the 500 and try to find a work around, 3rd, take the 500 and do the swap later. It will be possible, just might be hard to get he parts right now. From what we’ve seen you are probably looking at $700 on parts. Well, the 500 in savings plus the 200 you didn’t pay for the original option works out to the 700 in parts. Then you are only footing the cost of the labour.
I can see you are going to to be a great resource for this forum like @currybob. We working class heroes appreciate what you contribute for our benefit. Thank you.Alright, I've got an update.

Being a 2021 F150 owner and also being in the industry gives me the unique opportunity to help out, I don't mind contributing at all.
Scott, thank you very much for the info. I had missed having the work station as an option and looked for the opportunity to change what I have. Perhaps as time goes by, this change will be an easier and less costly option. Richard A
