4/26 Build Week

[Roady]

On Thursday mine was like 150 miles from the dealer at a train station. Tracker still shows in transit but for others that has been inaccurate

I don't know if this is possible for you but my dealer has a couple f150's on the lot, built in Dearborn like mine. I was able to track them using all of our "tools" and find out how long it usually takes a truck to get shipped to my dealer. In my case, the delivery times were 10, 11 and 14 days.

Only thing that has updated for me still is palsapp. Everything else still shows in transit / shipped

I got the call Friday night @ 6 that my truck was in and if possible could I drive down to pick it up for month end. So I hopped in my 4Runner and I drove the 450 miles to South Arkansas (Karl Malone Ford) Friday night. Was at the dealership at 10 am Saturday and on my way home at 12:15. The biggest delay was the dealership just switched to new systems and were struggling to get everything working smoothly.

On my 450 mile drive home I really enjoyed the ride and size. Coming from a 4Runner to a F150 I was amazed at how quick it is and how well it handled the rough back country roads. There was a staggering noise difference from my lifted 4Runner with a roof rack and the new F150. I could hear myself think which hasn’t happened in years. I’m super happy with the new truck and I didn’t have to stop on the way home to fill up because I got the 36 gallon tank!

Specs:
AntImatter Blue
502a Lariat
360 camera
Blue Cruise prep
Max tow
Fx4 off-road (decals removed)
Extended running boards
Tow mirrors
Power tailgate
Work surface

I was able to get it $1500 under invoice with $125 doc fee. This was close to grangers pricing but I have family there so logistically it was easier. Absolutely no haggling at all in the transaction. This is my second purchase from a Karl Malone dealer, the first being our 4Runner we bought in Salt Lake City. I can’t say enough good things about them And their customer service.

I love the tech on the truck. It drives so freaking smooth. I was driving is some intense Florida rain a few days ago as I drove to Tropicana Field and I didn't feel the truck slide or feel like it wanted to slip at all. I did find that my lower back was hurting, and today I noticed that's because the lumbar was fully extended. Once I fixed the lumbar support, the seat felt 1000x tines more comfortable for me.

I agree. Very smooth and comfortable.

Don't give up!

Ordered: 2/26
Produced: 4/29
Built: 7/12

Did not show delivered on Ford Tracker until nearly 2 days after it was at the dealer. Fortunately, I have a GOOD dealer. Called to let me know when it got loaded on the truck. Called, I think within hours (if not minutes) of it being on his lot. Shout Out for Heartland Ford and Mike Potts.

Thanks for this forum I learnt how to track my truck and able to see that my truck was delivered to the dealership yesterday. Have not heard from them as of yet. Have sent a text to at least get a picture.

I had same experience with my dealer

@RayRay did you hardwire your garmin? I'd like to that. TBH, I've been trying to call Bestbuy to have them do it, but I can't get a hold of them. I want to try installing it myself before going to Bestbuy.

Spectre yours and mine are together wherever they are. They are traveling so slow, we could walk there and pick them up before they get delivered to our dealers. I'm thinking that Ford is serious about my 8/11 delivery date. Sheesh.

Mine arrived at the dealer right at a month early from the estimated date. So don’t put too much faith in those dates

I am probably going to get bashed for this, but has anyone gone with the aftermarket warranty over the Ford ESP? Mine come with a lifetime powertrain warranty from the dealership and I have the option to increase it to number to bumper for unlimited miles and lifetime for a little more than what I would be paying for the Ford ESP. I tend to drive a lot of miles and think I would hit the 150K miles in year 3-4 which seems to be most I can get with Ford.

My dealers website lists two F150s in transit and they shipped same day as mine so I'm expecting them to all come together. I'm hoping tomorrow I can pick it up, otherwise I can't go until Saturday. My truck was only about 150 miles away from my dealer on Thursday afternoon. Can't imagine it doesn't get delivered tomorrow

Just ensure that third party warranty you're being offered will actually cover everything that the ESP would cover.
