zooming in it looks like the Hankooks, certainly not my first choice but will run them at least till I decide if I am going to keep the truck or not.

I was gonna grab new rubber, but decided to keep what came with it since i change vehicles every 2-3 years anyways, or sooner if this turned out to be a turd.

While I usually hold my trucks long term, I am on the fence about the lighting. I also have an offer from my local dealership thats about $6K more than I paid for it so also debating on dropping this off and ordering a 2022. Figured I would know by the time I get back what I am going to do.

Question for you guys. Once a truck has shipped, does the VVR tell you what method of shipment was used? Rail vs Convoy and does it keep track of the shipment tracking?

Truck has finally shown up on palsapp headed out from Atlanta. Should be here soon....

Man this truck is beautiful, and I feel like a kid again. Haha. I haven't even played around with any of the setting except linking my phone to the car. I didn't check for rust, but I'll do that tomorrow.
I did have to major scratches in the interior, so their going to have Ford replace those parts.

Nice vehicle!!! Nice house too!!!

Sad story.

I saw where someone has posted an article that was posted today or yesterday saying Ford still had 60-70K vehicles waiting on chips. Unfortunatly we are not past this shortage yet but hopefully soon you will see some movement based on the number of people here that are seeing movement.

Question for you guys. Once a truck has shipped, does the VVR tell you what method of shipment was used? Rail vs Convoy and does it keep track of the shipment tracking?

Yes, it certainly shows. If by rail, the rail car number or in case of Convoy, the truck numbers show, but no location updates for Convoy. Also tells which yards the rail car is at, or has passed through.
I used to do vehicle tracking and help out guys on another forum before I retired from ford. Same as Pioneer did....

Some good news and bad news.

Good news I got my truck, brought it home, its beautiful. And I got the Goodyear tires I wanted. All the the 18" FX4's on the dealer lot had Goodyears.

Bad news, I picked it up even though it said "System System Fault" during the PDI. It was driving fine on the highway, drove it for probably 3 hours. Then 3 mins from home, the truck screens all flickered off then back on, and the truck was stuck in neutral (even though the shifter was still in drive).

I was able to coast over to the side of the road and restart it. I'm able to drive it but I'll be staying away from the highways.

Long story short, I have a truck but its a half working truck until I can get this fixed, the saga continues.

Got the truck back yesterday. It seems like its all good now.
