Well boys, after 8 months of waiting it finally arrived today! Dealer said they would have it ready by the weekend. Time to start those mods.

Just checking, that's a Smoked Quartz, correct? Congrats, beauty!

Congrats and what mods do you have planned?

Thanks. 2” level, painted mirror caps and side badges, Raptor style grille with body colored letters and led light on top of grille that looks like a lightning. Also deleting reversing beep and tailgate letters.

Yes, smoked quartz

Yes, smoked quartz

Looks amazing. Makes me want mine even more.

Headed to the dealership next week to finalize the dealer installed stuff and get some accessories ordered. Figured if we order now at least the accessories will be there when the truck arrives (sometime in October)!

• BAKflip MX4
• Line-X spray liner
• Spray-in wheel wells
• Husky floormats
• maybe Bedrug
• Discuss ESP

I almost did a mx4 originally and then I liked the undercover armor flex because of the bedliner coating. But when I realized they block the window plus the camera when flipped up I didn't want them anymore. I ended up ordering the Peragon HD since it fit my niche the best I think. Just need a truck to put it on now.

Saw their video but was wondering what that might end up looking like in the winter w/ ice & snow. The tether to pull it closed looks like it would either be flapping around or hard to get to? LMK what you think if you get it before I get mine!

What level are you going with? Also the reverse beep are you buying a device to do that?

As of this morning Ford tracker shows “built”. Chat says built and awaiting shipment with the SECONDARY status as micro chip at plant hold ??‍
I am still showing the same number of modules since day one and no built email from Ford.
Any ideas where am I in the process?

Yeah I thought about that too but I figured I could work around that fairly easily. I park outside so if it’s a doosie then I figure I can brush the snow off and should be able to break the ice no problem.
Big perk was how easy it is to take off so we’ll see.
I’d def look into the undercover armor flex if you were considering the mx4 though. It doesn’t rest against the window and I think the line X coating is a pretty good idea for durability. I really liked that one but I just wish it didn’t block the camera.

They should have been able to give you a expected date for the shipment to start. Unless they read this forum and are scared to give dates anymore lol but when I got mine it turned out to be accurate which I know is rare in itself.

No Victory Ford in Iowa. This was rail.

2” level and just got the MegaOhm remote kit in the mail.

No expected shipment date. They only gave me one of their useless ETAs at the dealership.

I have a feeling they might be back to their old strategy of automatic status changes to built as soon as trucks roll off the assembly line, whether they miss parts or not.

Maybe they just came up with this new excuse as people were getting fed up with the old chip hold.
I guess awaiting shipment sounds better than in production while waiting for modules.

Well damn. What did you get exactly? Would it be a minor delay for doing a factory bed liner even though they had all this time do that? Aside from the missing badges I don’t know, it’s been quiet lately.
