We purchased our F-150 Platinum from Granger in 2021, and drove it back to Florida. No other dealer came close at the time to their pricing, and the service was impeccable.
Thinking about upgrading to an F-250 for towing a bigger Airstream. If/when that happens, Granger will get the first...
Just started getting it this week after picking up my Job 1 Platinum PB, with the (incomplete) BC updates, and trailer controller update. I have a feeling that it's related to the updates.
When I take the truck back in in a couple of weeks, after the TBC update drops, I'll have the dealer...
Jumping in here late, but I too had this issue.
Turns out, the batteries on my airstream were not producing enough amps and needed to be replaced. Issue solved.
Albert, Albert. What a tremendous loss and I'm without words. He came to this Forum when it was only a 100 or so members, and offered to simply give advice and answer questions. Within a few weeks, he got his GM to agree to offer something no other dealer was advertising - some of the best...
I had to do the same thing when I purchased from Granger. They had to show Ford, I assume, that I was a real person. Mine was a stock order converted to retail and this took place in December.
Guess I'm going to have to adopt @currybob M/O and get a new F150 every few years to take advantage of these desirable options.
Wife is going to hate Ford for this!
I received a "Rev Industries" tonneau as part of my factory package. It took a little research, but I found that it was manufactured by "Truck Hero", so it's a BakFlip by any other name. https://truck-hero.com/bakflip-mx4-truck-bed-cover
I'm overall very happy with it, and it's kept 95%+ of the...
We have these nasty insects in Florida called "love bugs". Their body contains an incredibly acidic chemical, which when it gets on your car, can damage the paint or plastic within a day, if you're not careful. To make matters worse, they love to swarm over asphalt, which most of our roads...
Eric,
I swear that I read somewhere that it had something to do with the geography of the St. Clair River in Michigan, near the Dearborn plant, but now i can't find anything on that.
You've hit the nail on the head. It's all a matter of what matters to the driver. Ford certainly provides us with a ton of optioning. Are you planning on your F150 being primarily a tow vehicle? Then you can option it as such. Doubling up duty as a daily driver? You've got choices.
The...
I can't recall who posted, but I can tell you that it will not automatically lock out 9 and 10 in tow/haul mode. We had a 700 mile rt a few weeks back, and the truck stayed primarily in 9th, unless a long(ish) downhill when it would rise to 10th with slight depressing of the accelerator...
The hybrid electric motor definitely runs while towing in tow/haul mode. One of the forum members has recommended locking out 9th and 10th gear so that you're not continually spooling up the turbos, something which I'm going to try on the next trip.
Honestly, if you're worried about range and...
Eric,
I've had a few issues, but none that have me twisting up over. Probably the biggest is the rust on the rear axle and emissions systems, which I think Ford will eventually step up and fix.
You just have to remember that even with Jim Farley at the helm, it's still a Ford, and not a Lexus...
Congrats, Kyle. You've been a patient man during this entire process. Honestly, if it was for the fact that you had to wait so long for your ride, the rest of us would have lost out on so many of your great posts.
Go enjoy that truck.
