I've posted earlier in this thread and had thought, at the time, that simply connecting the 7-way with the truck turned off was the fix. Started a trip today and all was fine until we stopped to weigh at a CAT scale. When we were ready to leave we got the dreaded "No Trailer" message. At the...
Black interior with the red/maroon/burgandy accents. I really wanted the Sport model with black interior and initially hated the idea of the red accents - even to the point of looking into whether I could order replacement interior pieces to replace the colored ones. But I have to say that I...
I've had the same issue over and over. '21 F150 towing a new Airstream. Di-electric grease seemed to be the answer but then one day no matter what I did (tweak the connector blades, add grease, clean...) the trailer brakes would not work.
I had the Airstream dealer plug the trailer's 7-way into...
I read somewhere on another forum that the new generation F-150s only energize the 7-way charging pin if a trailer is detected. That would explain the lack of a voltage reading. I don't know if that true or not since there's no simple way to measure it if the trailer is connected.
The...
We took our new '21 F-150/Airstream combo on its maiden voyage this week. I realize that the 12 volts offered thru the 7-way trailer connector gives little more than a trickle charge but when we got to our destination I was surprised to see that it hadn't charged the trailer batteries at all. I...
As the OP on this thread, I have to say that after taking delivery of my Lariat Sport this week that I actually like the red/brown accents. The contrast is WAY more subtle in real-life vs. the online pictures. After being really negative on it pre-delivery, I can honestly say that I might have...
My deal came with $1500 in rebates not tied to financing, a $2000 PCO and my dealer price-protected me on the Max-tow package which was $1350 when I ordered the truck in Oct (vs. $1995 now). I financed through a local bank (Canandaigua National B&T) for 2.09%, 60 months.
Took delivery of my Lariat on 3/4. Build date was 2/8 in KC. Dealer called me when it arrived to see if I wanted to look at it pre-prep. Here's how it looked:
I pointed out the rust and without any pushback he said they would take a brush to it and hit it with some rust-proof paint. Here's...
I'll be picking my truck up this week and I know that my dealer will be suggesting Ziebart undercoat/rust protection. I generally decline any of the dealer add-ons but this is my first new truck and I'm interested any options that the group can offer. Thanks.
I'm very interested in what you guys think is the proper remediation that the dealer should perform. I'm not expert in this but do you think that the dealer should offer to 1) wire brush off the rust, 2) clean all effected surfaces, 3) paint with some rust-proof coating, etc? Is there more to...
Same here. Build date of 2/8 and 57 days of shipping which makes no sense. That would have it arriving here in early April well past their 3/17 estimate and way longer than the 12-28 average time they mention.
Who knows. Maybe they're short on shipping capacity and these trucks are just...
Interesting data point - my tracker screen hasn't changed in about 5 days. I had a sticker blend date of 1/30, and the tracker shows a scheduled for production date of 2/1, and has no Built or Shipped dates, but it does show a dealer ETA of 3/12.
I just asked my dealer for a update from his...
Does it seem odd that I have a delivery estimate date (3/12) but no Built or Shipped date? I got the sticker on 1/21, had a blend date of 1/30, and the status has been unchanged for almost a week now.
Sticker "Blend" date - 1/30
Tracker "Scheduled for Prod" date - 2/1
No "Built" or "Shipped" dates
ETA (Rochester, NY) - 3/12
Unchanged for the last several days.
No bedliner or other items that are rumored to cause delays.
Really hoping I'm not impacted by the chip shortage......
At some point in the last couple of weeks Ford changed the B&P images. The B&P for my build currently shows the chrome caps. I have a Lariat Sport on order and a few weeks ago downloaded several of the B&P images to share with a friend. One is attached below and shows black mirror caps. The...
