4/26 Build Week

[MGM]

Well I'm happy to post after the delivery snafu and the whole wait altogether the truck is FINALLY HERE. Overall condition seems fine considering how long it sat. Axle has slight rust, nothing a little brush and paint can't quickly fix. Good luck to everyone that is still waiting!

Such a happy surprise when I checked the tracker today.

So my truck has not arrived yet, still waiting to be shipped but the ETA moved from Aug 19th to Aug 15th. Hopefully that holds true or sooner would be nice. I’m happy some of you folks have received your trucks, they are beauty’s!

Well my April 26 compatriots, the truck I ordered March 19 is at the dealership. I'll go take a look at it tomorrow and hopefully post pics if the horse tradin and finalizing goes well... My sales person and ordering mgr guy I'd been talking to (in addition to half the staff apparently) have been out sick for weeks it would seem. Id previously submitted a couple extra discounts to get applied that are now expired which they need to honor. We'll see what comes.

FYI my trackers all updated built and shipped 7/10 and 7/12 respectively and Nothing changed for a long time until 2 days ago palsapp started updating. Its now the only thing showing delivered as yet.

And I added a profile pic

Good question, if you build and price online or if you find one for sale online, i believe it lists it!. Mine has the Hancooks 20” a/t but no max tow. Fx4 have a more aggressive hancook I believe!

I took some pics on Wednesday when the truck arrived at dealership and just zoomed in on one of the photos and looks like they are Pirelli

That's what's on mine....I am changing them before I pick it up.

Yea they look like Pirelli scorpions. I've ran two sets of those on my past trucks. They are very good tires until they hit about the 50-60 percent worn mark. Then it's like having ice skates mounted to your truck in the rain. At least that was my experience.

I did the 1.9 over 60! Good deal

Took the 1.9 at 60mths and $1.4K discount! I'm so pumped after receiving this truck and will post pic's tomorrow.

I did see a 'Pro Power on board service required' message so will take it back tomorrow for validation. I recall someone else seeing this note so will check it out that prev note.

Hope all feels the same closure once all the paper work is done...yes expensive, but my first custom order and exactly what I wanted, now the FUN begins!

Good to know. Will be looking for a good highway tread, something that won't have issue with towing either. Never do any off reading but also want a tire that will handle well in then rain.

Time to also start looking for snow tires as well. Usually have snows on from start of November to end of March.

Just another note, and not a lot of people know this, but the factory OEM tires are made special for the manufactures. They are not the same as "off the shelf" tires. They typically have a shorter lifespan as the material is softer to give the illusion of a better ride. (for people test driving) This material also is cheaper, allowing the car maker to save some pennies.

While you will never get Ford, Chevy, ect to admit it, there are lots of articles on the internet explaining how and why they do it.

Is anyone looking for a shorter antenna? My 2015 would hit the parking garage so thinking of a shorter item. I see Amazon has this:
Rydonair Antenna Compatible with Ford F150 2009-2021 | 13 inches

Thoughts?

Well......she's home now. Picked it up yesterday. Incoming and outgoing beside another. And.....yet another shipment of trucks arrived. 2 things i'm not liking right away. 1.) The climate display on screen i'm used to is not available on this 12 inch screen, making me fiddle with the small buttons below the radio controls yet again. 2.) When i open the driver door, both running boards flip out without passenger door being opened. Maybe somebody here has a quick fix...
