I dont understand what you mean? Are you referring to the tonneau cover clamping down to the t slot elevate rails? I know there are some fitment issues when you look a YouTube video comments

Truck Hero’s ELEVATE rails are not stake pocket rails (like the ADARAC). The ELEVATE t-slot rails clamp to the side of the truck bed. Your tonneau cover likely also has rails that clamp to the side of the bed.

If you pull up the ELEVATE installation instructions, it will tell you for this configuration to install the ELEVATE rails, then put the tonneau rails over the ELEVATE rails, then clamp both to the bed together. This has the effect of slightly pushing your tonneau rails closer together than originally intended/ designed for your truck bed. Some customers have stated that it makes the covers harder to open. One reviewer I watched on YouTube was very concerned about the spacing for his BAK X4s.

Personally, I wish Truck Hero would release a stake pocket option! That said, I truly hope the installation works for you. Please let us know.

I thought that's what you were getting at. I had different reservations about several products. I didn't want a tri or bifold top, I use my bed to much and didn't want to deal with reduced visibility. I hope this works out for me since its already in my garage attic

Yeah. 2.5” level on the stock lariat 18”s. It definitely doesn’t help the fuel economy but I’m not too worried about it, as it’s not really that much of a difference. I want to enjoy my truck. If that means I get 50 less miles on a full tank, so be it. This world sucks too much to not be driving around in something I want.

what brand are you going with for a level kit?

 

[Majorplane]

Motofab 2.5”. under $100 and I can install in my driveway in a few hrs with an extra hand.

Do an online Chat with Ford, have your VIN and order code ready. They should have your build week. There is a 4/4/22 thread if thats the week you are in. Good luck!

I need to wait I guess for the vin # to come. I only have the order # so far. Order date is 2/11/22. Keep you posted. Thanks

Shit, you don't have a VIN yet?! Hybrid order?

It seems like wipers and headlights are an issue also

I saw that comment, but it looks very dodgy, I mean really. One guy says it, there's very questionable and little punctuation, and nobody else is backing it up. It just feels like someone is messing us about, trying to rile up the crowd. EVERY truck needs headlights and wiper motors. If they really were out of those then I'd imagine they would pause production. You cannot go back to EVERY SINGLE truck and install those key parts after they have been built. A 'chip' sure, pop it in as long as you can access the location. The manpower to do lights and motors for every truck is astronomical. Maybe I'm naïve. I dunno, just give me my damn truck already.

Me too - order date 1/26/22. Forum is littered with people in same boat! Can’t wait to get a VIN as a sign of progress - don’t even care if it is scheduled for production - a VIN would be nice ! Wait a second, maybe I’m getting a little carried away…I would care if it was scheduled!

Damn... My order has both headlights AND windhield wipers!

I agree with what your saying. Im definitely anxious to get my truck, being patient isnt as easy as I thought it would be

 

[NewToFord]

well, my 2nd truck just got scheduled for 5/2. It at least has bluecruise, unlike this one here in 3/28(thank you Mr dealer for messing up the first one) The risk now is what will ford cut between now and then on my 2nd truck. I can forego park assist, but I really want my 360deg camera.
