Man, that level and tires look great! What size did you go with? Love the AMB and Bronze combo!

Thanks! I‘m super pleased and so excited for it. The guys at the dealership did a great job and do enough of them to really know what they are doing. They have it down to a science!

It‘s a 2 inch Rough Country level. They said they’ve done 2.5’s but have better longevity out of the 2 with less strain on the front end components, even though its just ever so slightly lower in the front.

Tires are 35x12.5r20 Toyo RT Trails. No rubbing or anything. Stock wheels, no spacers.

Makes me feel better, I have a 2” RC sitting in my garage waiting for me to pick up the truck! What size tires did you go with?

35x12.5r20. Edited above, Sorry about that! Realized I hit it without that in there.

No worries, looks great!

Thanks, I think so too! I’ve seen a couple King Ranches on here, but I haven’t really seen any Platinums on here with tires. I’m looking forward to pictures of yours. I think it’s gonna be sweet!

Got to pick up the truck today!

Built 5/22, shipped rail 6/2, train arrived Memphis 6/6, truck received by rail yard auto ramp 6/10, convoy picked up 6/13, arrived to dealer 6/13.

With the service work and my schedule, today was the best day for delivery!

Sexy! Gonna look good rolling down the road.

(Good job catching the truck in different lighting to highlight the travel in the paint.)

New twist. Dealer called. Can't pick up truck it has a "recall" for a software update. Can't be driven by me until completed.

Oh, they can't do the software update cause their systems "are being hacked."

If anyone knows if someone could run the VIN and tell me if there's a recall!

Would also like to know if anyone could pull the residual value and lease rate cause the numbers are way off for 39 months & 10,500/yr.

I was told Ford is raising all fees for all vehicles on Juky 9th.

Not sure if this helps. I ran mine (still 'in production' as of 05/03) and it showed no recalls.

@Z06Pat mine shows no recalls...

The dealer got all my issues resolved today.

• Hood needs minor alignment adjustment. (Front is 3/8” low and back is 3/8” high. All other gaps are good.) Realigned
• 94.5 miles! It was used to track test (for what, who knows).
• The driver's door may need new panels because of scratches including the aluminum King Ranch piece. Cleaned and buffed by body shop.
• The driver's sill may need to be replaced which should have plastic on it for protection. Plastic was still on it so it is okay.
• The driver's carpet needs a good shampoo. Cleaned.

Recall software update completion = TBD. So, can't test drive before signing paperwork which I refuse to sign until a thorough test drive.

My undercarriage looks great.

Glad they got things sorted. Wise to make the test drive (especially w/ the circus act).

But... jeez...

Looks like Granger has my truck. I had just gotten an email update yesterday that my ETA was 7/8 - 7/12 delivery. The tracker never had shown that mine had shipped at all. Either way, my 9 month wait is almost finished!

The dealer is "unable to release my vehicle per a PowerBoost software update". I can't test drive it until this occurs and they have no ETA. I have no option but to pay another lease extension on Monday.

Anyone else who had their PowerBoost delivered experienced this issue?

I’m picking mine up this Saturday. Haven’t heard anything from Granger about any updates or reasons I need to cancel.

A clean undercarriage is always a good way to end the day.
