3/28 Build Week Group

Well, here it is and she’s perfect! Such a pleasure to drive over my 16. No issue with price protection and no rust. Overall a great dealer experience.

Tires, tint, and level sometime early next week.

Congratulations! The pain is certainly worth the reward! Hopefully the rest of us follow soon...

Couple of observations after just the afternoon.

B&O system is good but not great. My 16 with the Sony was better.

shifting isn’t great but I understand that will change as it learns my driving patterns

12” screen is really really nice. Very sharp color and resolution. I’ll keep mine on dark mode permanently

my truck doesn’t have an exhaust tip on it. I asked the dealer and he said none of the non sport or chrome trucks have it. Looks like something is missing, and may have to add something in the future.

cabin is very quiet and seats are much more comfortable than my 16

all the cameras are awesome, especially being able to watch the bed while driving.

the console cover is more comfortable than my 16

So far my only option regret is not getting the front sensors. I can use the front camera when pulling into my garage for instance, but I can’t tell how close things are to the corners. I’ll get used to it I suppose.

I emailed a bunch of Ford people a while back, this person replied that they were looking into my concerns around 2 weeks ago, got this reply yesterday

Thanks for sharing. Doe the 501a not come with front sensors? Mine has the 360 camera package. Should hopefully be here soon!

Nope, not standard. I also have the 360 camera package.

Oh what the shit. lol. I know my truck made it to its final train stop on the 29th. Ford is saying ETA by June 7th (even though the last email I got says June 12-18). So hopefully it will be here soon. I just wish I could track it to the dealer. My dealer says when it gets put on a truck he will know.

It won’t be a huge deal, you just don’t have front sensing or adaptive cruise. Doesn’t matter because the rest of the features are the tits.

 

[Porterinjax]

Got the shipped email this morning. According to Ford, ETA to Houston dealer is June 30-July 6.

What package does one need in order to have front sensors? Co-pilot assist 2.0?

 

[Majorplane]

I believe so.

I have 2.0 and you can see the front sensors in the picture they sent me of my truck.

man that looks good, i can’t wait for mine.

did you consider new shocks like the Bilsteins instead of the 2.5” motofab lift kit?

 

[Majorplane]

Not really, brand new truck with brand new shocks, so didn't see the point. Maybe down the line, but the truck honestly drove the same with the strut spacers for the short time I had the stock tires on it.

Also, the motofab was under $100, so that was nice. Installed in my garage this morning in about 3hrs.
