Nope, I shipped out of KC

About how long to San Diego? I am coming from Dearborn via rail but I was just curious since you live locally also.

This thread needs more driveway shots.

It’s pretty surprising how much better it handles than my 2015 145” SCAB.

Solid choice on the 157 and SCREW.

I want to mount my rear diff on a pivot so I can mount an external tiller and get true 4W steering. About the only way I can negotiate some of these parking spots!

Damnit that's a nice looking truck. Happy for you.

Thank you, I hope more people take delivery soon, the wait was certainly worth it for me. I think you’ll be surprised, it fared really well in my daughters daycare parking lot that is the size of a postage stamp this morning.

Decision was two fold for me, I really like the look of the SCREW with the 6.5’ bed and I often use 6.5’ of bed when I’m hauling stuff. I “could” have probably made due with the 145”, glad I didn’t try though.

Mine also hit the ground tonight.

Picked it up late last night! Have not had time to get to know the vehicle but pretty impressed from my short trip home last night.

While slightly agonizing, I did enjoy tracking this thing on here.

Congrats on everyone getting their trucks! One week in with mine now and loving it more and more every day.

Daughter wants to go on rides just to use “sport” mode haha.

I don't think any trucks from our group have shipped in nearly 3 weeks now.

@JohnMcClane Congrats bud, long time coming!

And for all the rest of us that have received their trucks. Just hope more people get theirs that have been waiting thru this process.

I'm happy to say mine was delivered yesterday, 6/16 which is 6 months to the day from ordering, to my dealer just 60 mi away from San Antonio where it sat for over a week. Now I just need to be a little more patient until I can come home after this deployment overseas and push every one of those buttons lol!

Hopefully my wife can get some enjoyment from it in the meantime!

A couple driveway pics. I’ve put about 50 miles on it and have no complaints and I am impressed with the 3.5 eco. First ecoboost I’ve owned, last truck was the 150 with 5.4

It left the plant the day after my build day. It sat in a local railyard for a couple days then was out to San Diego within 2 weeks. My issue was it sat at the local railyard in San Diego for two weeks before Being taken up to the dealership near Anaheim

Nope, also in another thread I created asking about shipping delays, there's a guy who got his built email on 4/1 and it still has not shipped. Someone else who is waiting for early May made the comment about it seems anyone who ended up on a hold for any reason hasn't had their truck ship. Not sure how that lines up with some here, but I was only on hold for 3 days and now delayed. A guy in the other thread wasn't delayed and got a built email on 6/10 and was shipped on 6/12 or 6/13. It's really BS if they are just shipping $hit out that rolls off the assembly line while leaving others parked for no real reason. If that is the case, they must have some financial incentive to get the ones just off the line out the door first rather than those sitting in a parking lot. Been a long time since I did accounting, but maybe the ones in the parking lots are already listed as capital on hand whereas the ones just off the assembly line are not on the books yet as inventory so they try to get them out? I don't know, doesn't make much sense unless something like that is the case.
