3.73 Gears not an option anymore?

3.73 Gears not an option anymore?
Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Trying to put together a 2015 Platinum FX4 on ford.com and regardless of engine choice (5.0 or 3.5 Eco) I can't select 3.73 gears. Best I can get is the 3.55 Locking.
Is this because of the Max Payload order stuff going on with Ford?

I thought the original question was whether or not they were an option, not whether or not someone thinks they are needed?
I just checked, and the Ford website allowed me to build a XLT with max tow and heavy duty payload with the 3.5L eco and 3.73 gear ratio, or 5.0L and 3.73 gear ratio.
Edit: Maybe it has something to do with options/combinations.

No, it's a 3.5 EB thing. Emissions and EPA gas mileage certification.

There is no Max Payload. There is Heavy Duty Payload and Max Trailer Tow. Max Trailer Tow is available on the Platinum with any bed. HD Payload is Lariat or below.

That's good thinking. At least you are going into this knowing you need a lower gear for bigger tires. Many people don't think of that and wonder why their truck won't pull. You might want to step down to a Lariet to get the lower gears you need. Or, you could just have the gears switched out when you get it.

I don't think it matters - at worst the transmission will downshift 1 gear more than it would normally. The 2013 Screw Limited 4x4 with 3.5 EB pulled the Ike gauntlet towing 10800# (trailer and payload) at the speed limit (60). Granted - it did have 3.73's and stock tires (32"), but remember the 2015 weighs less.
