When I was in the market in December I found a perfect spec “in transit.” It is still in transit (supposedly built at the end of August). I was lucky to find an actual “in transit” truck that was an exact copy and was able to purchase at the end of December. The earlier truck is still on the...

RAS quotes .5” to 1.5” so I guess we are both in spec. This truck has maxtow so 3 springs.

I’m fine adding air as part of hooking up. Definitely not a fan of the Hankook’s that came on it, but will put some miles on it before swapping rubber. I will give it some air and take a drive. Thanks.

Update: Took a month, but I picked up a Platinum with everything I wanted. (I had been tracking this particular truck and it showed up at the dealer 1 day after the tracker showed "Final Preparation") The original Platinum I was hoping for is still nowhere to be found. (still shows waiting for...

Blue and it is listed on the dealer's website as "in stock" but I know that isn't trustworthy. Thanks for the info on the color diff; wondered why some windows stickers were green!

So I've been trying to buy one of two trucks for the last 3 weeks. I'm new to Ford (well, at least since a 1989 Mustang GT that I had until 1992). I know there are still all sorts of disruptions to building and shipping these trucks, but can't figure this dealer out. My wishlist: Powerboost...
