4/26 Build Week

[shtraver]

Here is what the finished product looks like. I have already put 1000km on and I am really enjoying this truck. It’s a pleasure to drive even with the bigger tires and the 5.0 seems like it’s much faster then my 2014 was. Need to go shopping for a tonneau cover, wheel well liners and I want to put the black lettering on the tailgate. I hope everyone who had their trucks delivered are enjoying them and are trouble free!

Love the wheel and tire combo. Gorgeous truck.
If it helps, I ordered these black letters from Amazon. Perfect fit and well made.

Am I the only one still with no truck? When my date slipped from 8/18 to 9/14 I was so upset. I am trying to adjust my head.

You are not alone. Mine was supposed to be delivered by 8/13….still in transit…

Mine changed from 8/21 to 8/31 on the trackers, but my dealer called today & said my truck will be at the dealership tomorrow! Talk to your dealership! They may have better news for you!

What did your last VVR say? You have to focus on something else until it ships. Measure the garage, look at dash cam reviews, order your small mods (e.g., shorty antenna, weatherproof floor mats, etc.), research Ford ESP vs third-party warranty, and Ford maintenance plan. May the others can add to this list. I also recommend limiting the number of times you visit the different trackers and this forum in a day; that helped me settle down a lot! I hope it helps.

Talked to my dealer- Reports say my truck is still sitting. He went over if there were options on his lot - but very little inventory. He said he has 3 green stickers that people gave up on but anything coming in is sold immediately.
I had an agreement for under invoice price and he said most sales now are MSRP plus or minus. I believe if he had a truck he would honor the spirit of our deal, or whatever his GM allows.
So I keep waiting. The truck I ordered is what I want and if I ordered again now the changes would be very minor.

Picked up new truck on August 10. Finally got around to finishing the detailing. Dealer replaced one of the wheels yesterday due to a factory blemish. Weather has been crappie, but finally was able to takes some pics and upload. Lots of new tech to get used to. I really love it.

Hi All,

I went to use my truck this morning and noticed the side boards did not come out and it would not unlock. I used the fob to unlock. I got in, push the button and drove away to a deli. At the deli the doors unlocked normally but it would not go on.

I got a red box on the dash that stated Stop Safety Now and a message on my screen that items plugged in exceeded the systems maximum capacity. I have never plugged anything in.

Called roadside assistance, hour later they show up, I walk up to the truck and running boards come out. The truck started but had a check engine light on and the overload message. I drove it right to the dealer where they told me that it’s the first powerboost they had for service so it might be awhile to diagnose. OMG. The truck has a thousand miles on it.

I hope this issue does not become as popular as this thread.

Picked up the trailer and going to install the fancy little tow module tonight to see how it works. First trip with the new truck tomorrow morning.

i purchased the bakflip mx4 hard folding cover, its nice to be able to open and close the tailgate without having to lift it up especially with the power tailgate. I like the low profile design too. been through some pretty bad tropical rains here in florida and it has stayed dry back there, wasnt sure it would given the design. very happy with it!

Not to oversimplify but a lot of people with electrical issues are b/c 1) fuses are not completely set, I know on my 2 trucks 90% were not pushed in all the way. 2) loose battery cable.
