I’m at 38k miles now. My truck still shudders, but running premium fuel has helped a lot. Sucks big time having to pay for premium fuel, but I enjoy the truck much more when it doesn’t shudder.
Yea my truck was built in November of 2020.
I had to cut the tabs off the mounting brackets and drill 2 new holes behind the tow hooks to accept the brackets. I ended up spray painting the exposed metal after cutting to alleviate any rust.
It really wasn’t too bad. Took me about 6 hours by myself. I did take the front end apart which made it easier. I can’t imagine trying to squeeze my hand into the bumper trying to get the little nuts off if it was still attached to the truck. I also have a job 1 truck so I had a few extra...
I wish the packages I had weren't picked up. I would've just shipped you the missing pieces. Ford should be doing that anyway instead of making you ship the whole kit back and reorder in hopes all of the pieces are there AND they're undamaged
Did your cash back show up for Ford? I made my last purchase using Rakuten on 5/8 and it hasn't posted. First time using them to purchase, so I'm not sure how long it should take
I came across a few threads on Facebook where they said they were stuck in limbo when they had their order shipped to the dealer and that it was a nightmare. That steered me away from that option
If they actually packed the kit better it wouldn't be a problem, but nope they let the hardware bag and those heavy ass brackets slide around wreaking havoc.
I'm convinced Ford uses all of their bubble wrap on their tow hooks. Those things could be dropped from a plane and still arrive without...
Exactly. That's what I did and why I ended up buying three kits. It took me three kits worth of parts to get one kit without damage. I boxed both of the damaged kits up and Fedex picked them up from my house
Id recommend you order another kit and when it comes take the pieces you need and then return one. I had the same problem and the only thing ford will do is create a return order.
Lucky on the silver too!
Are you going with the lariat seats just for the power option? Or leather? Or both?
If you’re just going for leather check out Katzkin. The install wasn’t too bad
