8/2 Build Week

[CK.MECHA]

Congrats to CK.Mecha, who has taken delivery of a battleship grey supercrew sport (is that Leadfoot? Looks nice!) A couple of weeks ago, CK was considering buying off the lot, but now has their ordered F150 in the driveway, so for everyone still in Limbo (like me!) take heart and have patience... in just two weeks, you too could have your truck in the driveway (or at least on the way!)

Yes its Lead Foot. I was truly on the edge of picking something off the lot, with the retail tracker stuck at "in production" for so long. I am honestly surprised at the speed it got to the dealer and I hope everyone else has the same luck. I know there are a few other guys in here from the Atlanta area so this should give a benchmark for the timeline you should receive your trucks. My truck had passed Austell around Wednesday last week.

A "funny" aside: there was a delay getting my truck Saturday morning. They said they couldn't "find the keys". After about 3 hours of waiting around, grabbing lunch, etc it was finally in my hands. Well later on im going through everything and see a paired phone in Sync, approx 50 miles on the truck at delivery, and a historical gas milage in the low teens. Im convinced a tech or salesman took my truck home Friday night and the delay was them scurrying to get

@someday I know you had asked elsewhere about the trailer backup assist. My truck did not have the module, and neither the sales guy nor the parts manager knew how to answer my question of if I should receive it with the truck.

I have a co-worker who received a Job 1 truck and his did include the module and wiring under the back seat. Mine came with a small package with some stickers and instructions instead.

Yeah, that thread came back to life a couple of days ago. Thanks for checking back with me. Looks like I'll end up ordering it from the dealer.

There was no statement anywhere in my build that it was included, and it looks like the software to work with the stickers wasn't available earlier in the model year, so that's why they were shipping the sensors then. Maybe I don't need it. We'll see. I only trailer my boat twice a year so I'll take any help I can get

My truck has reached Kent WA, which is around 30 mins from the dealership.

I'm excited!

well, i picked mine up friday! sorry for the delay in responding but as you can imagine with the weekend and a new delivery i was pre-occupied.

Dealer was great, honored financing and custom build discount, as well as x-plan. I was in and out in an hour. no scratches or noticeable issues. Had 34 miles on it which salesman told me meant they pulled it off the line for test drive/quality control.

Have only logged about 100 miles, most of which in atlanta traffic (<40 mph), but so far i am very impressed. Only "issue" i noticed was the transmission shifting which others have mentioned. Not as much of an issue when going up in gear, but in highway traffic when slowing down from 60mph to a stop somewhat abruptly, i noticed a bit of a hiccup in downshifting.

Good luck to everyone here! I will stay tuned to this thread and post more feedback as I see appropriate.

Hey guys... I have been in the Mountains helping a few friends on a deer hunt. It looks like while I was gone my truck updated from an estimated delivery of 10/25 to 10/7. This might be my week!

Well PF said this morning that they see my estimated delivery was updated from 10-25 to 10/7 but they still dont show any shipping info. I have a call into my dealer.

Uh-oh! I hope it's just a glitch. I don't want to move you back DOWN the list!

EDIT: I misread your post... I thought it said you moved from 10/07 BACK to 10/25 delivery. No list moving in a contrary direction shall occur.

Let me know what your dealer says. Ive not been able to get a straight answer from FP or my dealer as to where mines at… no shipping info or anything.

I've never done this before, but I just finished the paperwork and purchased my truck sight unseen. It arrived by train to New Orleans on Saturday. Should be at dealership in a couple of days. I did the deal today to lock in the 0%. So now I'm driving my same old 2009 XLT but with a temp tag because it technically belongs to them now. I feel like I just bought my same old truck. Strange times.

 

[Hebed118]

I got the call yesterday that mine arrived! I'm hoping I'll be able to pick it up today. ETA of 10/13 originally. Seems as though most of us waiting in this build have the Powerboost.

The 0% for 72 is gone from Ford's website. It's back to what it was before that offer was available. 1.9 for 60 plus $1,000 cash or 3.9 for 72 plus $1,000 cash. Darn.

The offers usually take a couple of days to update on the site, there will likely be changes in the next day or 2.

Emersonloyd picked up their truck on Friday! Looks antimatter-blue-ish, but it's hard to tell for sure from the pic. Whatever color it is, it's a new truck, so congrats! SQLariatPB and Hebed118 sound like they're also on the cusp of getting their trucks.

Meanwhile, Limbo is Limbo. I got an updated ETA from 09/14 to 10/17, but just like the last three ETAs, I don't expect it to amount to much, and remain 'In Production'. And so we wait...
