Picked her up today. They honored our original deal: invoice, price protection, and $1500 in rebates. Very happy.
Thoroughly check your vehicle over though, I found a deep scratch about an inch and a half long on the lower passenger door. They did a great job repairing it.

Truck received, looks even better in person! No issues that I’ve noticed, dealership made it a quick and easy process.

Talked to my dealer this AM - my truck has made it to our local rail staging area and is just waiting for a ride to the dealership … still could be a while, but progress has been made.

Completely unrelated - anyone got a set of bolt cutters and a ski mask I can borrow?

Mine has been sitting 4 hours away for at least a week. Was supposed to arrive by Sunday, last I was told it should be here today, but I’m not holding my breath on that. Either way I won’t have it til Wednesday or Saturday next week, still needs bed liner and works gonna interfere with picking it up

Same boat here - not sure when it got to the rail yard just know it’s there now - my dealership is maybe 2 hours from where it’s sitting and I’m maybe 30 mins away… hence the bolt cutter request. Just make sure you get your fingerprints all over them before you send em to me.
As far as work - whatever day it shows up and they tell me it’s ready to go I’m taking off and picking it up. It’ll have been 8 1/2 months since I ordered it - I’m just telling them my baby is being delivered and I’ll leave the interpretation up to them.

Been tracking rail progress this week, slow ride from Detroit to Kansas. just checked ordertrack app and it’s showing delivered. Hoping I get to pickup this week.

Per Ford chat my truck now has a estimated delivery date of 28 July vs 1-7 August. Still sitting 4 hours away waiting for a ride. I am actually leaving in about 2 hours and traveling down to the city its in to fly out of. With a little bit of luck I'll be able to pick it up the day after I get back from vacation.

Little nervous on trade in discussion and hoping they dont try and pull last minute low ball bs when I've waited nearly 8 months as is. They gave me a soft estimated offer when I ordered. Just hope its easy and smooth.

Thats a big concern of mine too - how much less is my current ride worth than it was 7 months ago when I ordered. Per KBB not much but we’ll see what the dealer says.

Exactly, plus their soft offer was a good bit higher than KBB. I dont think KBB takes into consideration the increase vehicles were and are going for these days.

It’s been 5 days and my neck hurts from every time I walk away I can’t help but look back at this thing! But on a side note.
Since we paid so much for these trucks and they couldn’t swing to add just 2 more little LEDS……Just throwing it out there IMO for those looking to change the regular cheapo bulbs for you license plate, I went with just the bulbs and avoided the full housing upgrade like the Morimoto ones. The stock housing are more recessed and give you a nicer illumination with just the bulbs in the plate area leaving a cleaner look. From what I saw on guys with the morimoto style whole house replacement led was almost the whole mid tailgate was lighted up. I’ll post a picture soon. To each is own and I do like the good stuff and almost pulled the trigger on the morimoto ones but something told me to just try the bulbs and I have zero regrets!

it does somewhat if you use the online KBB… either way I’m not too terribly worried, I’m trading/selling a 2015 car that’s been paid off and has 140k miles and even if they lowball me I’m getting more than twice what it was worth before everyone went crazy with used car prices

Can you post or PM me the link? I was just looking at those lights 10 minutes ago wondering if there was an LED replacement.

just went to my local advance auto parts
Bulb 194, figured the couple extra bucks was worth the lifetime warranty and slightly brighter than the ones a couple bucks cheaper(make sure your phone number is registered with the store) will post a picture later today when it gets darker

Here’s the example , lights up exactly what I need and to me much cleaner looks, the morimoto tends to light up the tailgate and just looks off to me
Mine blacked out vs online random find with cereal box using morimoto
