Dealer just called. Truck got delivered this morning and I'm picking it up tomorrow. The bad news is the Ford tracker still says it is not available so that's useless. I checked Palsapp this morning and it was still pending. I just checked it again and it updated so that's working.
So ordered November 5th and delivered January 6th - not to bad all things considered.

Congrats1 - Yep my Palsapp has only shown "Pending". It was last in a railyard in MD the first of this week.

Spoke with Ford today and they told me my truck was in transit and should arrive at the dealer the week of January 18th.

Had you received any shipping notification/email from them prior to calling them?

Okay guys - I think I got all the updates in here. I was shoveling 8" of global warming off my driveway, so I may have overlooked someone - let me know!

There are just 2 trucks in the 12/13 week that are not accounted for with an ETA or delivery date.
There are 13 trucks in the 12/20 week not accounted for yet. (I feel like I missed someone.)

When do I press the activate button? Lol

 

[Antimatter_KingRanch]

Shes gorgeous.

A little better ones in a couple different levels of light. Let me know if there's anything else you want to see on it.

The antimatter really is a fun color in person. I'm not sure photos do it justice. It really has a range of almost black in the dark garage, dark blue in medium light, brightens up in sunlight.

What do you think about the PB so far?

What do you think about the PB so far?

I've only put 25 miles on; the stock pirelli tires are horrible in snow and I'm not risking it. Putting on winter wheels w/blizzaks when the sun comes up.

But it's certainly snappier than the 2021 3.5 I sold at 4k miles for this. I got on and off the highway a couple extra times on my way home because it was pretty fun for a truck.

I ran a big radiator heater from the generator, that was kinda cool.

I got 19mpg on the 25 mile drive, probably 25% 45mph, the rest 65 in -10 degree weather. I'm sure when I'm not needlessly getting back on the highway it'll go up a bit, but not bad for a long box crew cab revving a lot in the winter.

Still trying to figure out blue Cruise, it tells me available when I turn on cruise control but hasn't activated yet. I'll try more highway driving. It would be nice if @Ford Motor Company came out with a detailed map of zones for these trucks + software we bought.

So far I'm happy I made the switch, the temp controls/missing LEDs are annoying but I already got the parts to regain the features. This thing is a lot more fun to drive, the generator is nice to have, and I like the looks a lot more than my '21 platinum.

 

[futuretrunks]

@TN Rotty my tremor shipped out this morning! Same eta

 

[Hard2hitnc]

Got the actual 'shipped' email! No change on ETA. I did however, find my truck on the dealer's website (without a photo). I will keep checking to see if they upload the sticker.

congrats and all good news! I’m hoping I’m a week away from the same experience. While I’m changing nothing but the engine and FX4 for the CCD shocks, I’m excited to hear quick results on MPG and power in a truck very similar in config to what I’m getting. I have never gotten 19 MPG with my current 3.5 and while I appreciate the power I have, more is always better! I convinced myself that getting the EB would be the better thing about a year ago because of all the tunes out there that added 100 more horsies to the EB but none of those have come to reality for the 21+ crowd. It actually seems that the tuners have all turned their attention to the powerboost because it’s the shiny new thing. I’m hoping there could be a lot more to unlock in the PB in the near future.

Keep us posted on tire swap... I live in MN too....and the roads suck right now...Glad to hear you got to run it after the car wash incident.... sounds like for the most part it is awesome....Congrats

what part numbers did you order to replace the saved pennies,

Thanks!!! I probably won't tune/do anything on that end. It's snappy for a truck already; and I haven't put it in sport mode or really pushed it yet. Trying to break it in first. On the mileage, I'm pretty happy for it especially given the weather. I am still managing some electric driving even in the cold.

I'll let you know.... It's pretty awesome, and I'm not really mad at the dealer on the washing fiasco. I think they were well intentioned; came in early to wash/detail/prep it so it would be ready first thing in the morning; and it was downright cold.

what part numbers did you order to replace the saved pennies,

Temp control (on mine; will vary if you don't have heated wheel/seats/etc). Unfortunately the eBay sellers have caught on. We're $250 when I bought, now $450-500 range: ML3T-18C612-DE

Cupholder swap; requires 2 led parts + a custom wire harness. I bought an entire cup holder assembly w/LED off a wrecked truck I'll be trying. See here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/...up-holder-light-install-4.html?ispreloading=1

LED license plate: should be 2x basic 168 LED bulb. You can get the Sylvania one for like 7 bucks at Walmart. Auto parts/amazon seems a little overpriced for em.

Media bin + glove box light is another harness from the same person above. Ford was kind enough to leave the holes and design a plastic plug for the media bin one ?

Disclaimer on these two; both are less proven than the cupholders. One guy was working on it; I didn't get an update on completion. I also can't promise the glove box p/n is right.

Media bin: ML3z-14A318-C
Glove box: ML3Z14A411C
