Awesome truck. What mods do you have going on right there?

 

[UPTHECREEK]

Tires are Toyo open country A/T 3 295/65-20 on factory wheels.
Level kit is Readylift SST 3 1/2 Front 2" Block rear.
Everything was installed at Ford dealer.....
Smooth as silk and quiet.

Awesome! Great to hear the ride is still great. And I'm planning the same lift/tires, but adding the VenomRex VR601s. But of course, I'm still waiting for my vin....

How is the road noise on those tires?

Would you be able to measure a couple of points for me?
Ground to front & rear wheel well, Ground to top of cab, ground to deployed running board? The last one is to convince my wife its not that high.

Alexk , Give me a few days and I'll get you some Measurements.
The tires have a very light hum to them but nothing
like a M/T tread. Certainly nothing this sweet stereo want cover up.......
The truck turned out exactly how I had it pictured and then some.
Hope you get your's soon.... I waited 6 months but worth the wait.

No truck for me - truck driver outlawed and has to spend the night at a hotel 30 miles from the dealership. It’s so close but so far away. I can’t get over the horsepoo involved in this process so far. So he says he will be here at 7am tomorrow. This will be my 20th vehicle but first Ford and never seen something logistically as messy as this.

Dale, so close and yet so far. So frustrating for you.

I have never been through anything remotely like this.

I'm wondering if you could use your insider knowledge of the transport system to look at my railcar number (NOKL 798317) when you have a minute. I think I'm doing something wrong with my search. I've gotten that railcar number from not only my dealer but also Ford chat, yet every time I do the search through the phone system it shows the location as Princeton, IN as of 3/21.

TIA......Craig

Here we go....

Norfolk Southern tracing says something like "RMPY" New Orleans. Hard to tell what she's saying though.

Found what RMTY means:

If you get that status, should be a good sign.

When I track that car through CSX it says "Load, was bad ordered Caner Dede, Alabama April 5th 7:55am" I have no clue if that town spelling is right as I've never heard of it, but what I can tell you is that bad order means the railcar has a mechanical defect and has been set off the consist to be repaired. It could be a wheel, brake, dragging equipment, defective coupler, air hose....literally anything. I wish I had better news, but since it is a loaded auto hauler, I have no idea what facility would be able to repair it while loaded or how long it could take. I also don't know why it would be in Alabama when you are in South Carolina, but maybe that is the quickest way from Michigan.

Thanks Dale. I ended up calling the 800 number and talking to a live human. When they asked "what company are you with?" I just said "I'm calling on behalf of D&D Ford"....which is true. They just accepted that. The rep spouted something about the car "not being on Norfolk Southern anymore" and "on the CSX" but showed it as being in Georgia. So the good news is that they can track it, the bad news is that I have zero visibility and will know nothing until I get the final dealer call. After four months of this, I can wait a couple more days.

Nice ride! Happy for you.

You can still track it. I tracked it with CSX not NS.

1-877-744-7279 options 2, 1, 3 for the automated tracker. Then say location and like a robot give it the NOKL and then it will ask for the car number 798317.

The good news is that whatever caused the bad order has hopefully been resolved and it is moving again....super exciting!

Nice! I wanted the Tremor but you can’t get it with the 5.0 which was a big let down for me. It’s a beauty!
