Anyone get the widshield recall? Our week through 02 MAY. Wondering if this was why mine was held up so long.

There’s a sentence about Kansas City workers finding the issue so I assume this will apply only to KC trucks. Seems like the bulk of us in this thread were Dearborn builds.

I finally picked mine up today. Paperwork is getting signed on Monday, July 8th so I get 2nd quarter rebates ($7500.00) and lease rate (5.4%). The finance guy is off for the holiday weekend, so they are backlogged since CDK came back today. Hopefully, 3rd quarter incentives aren't better!

I removed the FX4 stickers, which were installed at different locations. The driver's side was 5/8" closer to the taillight and the passenger's side was 1/2" closer to the top of the bed.

I also added my KING RANCH letters, installed the matte black b-pillar PPF, and my 12" screen protector.

Tomorrow I am swapping the license plate bulbs because the 2024 F150 bulbs are incandescent vs. LED so they are very brown and dim.

Dropping off Sunday evening for 14/60 Automall/Line-X to

1. Line-X Premium (including tailgate)
2. Undercoat
3. PPF front end (including painted bumper, fog lights, and headlights)
4. Tint all glass (except the front windshield) with 78% ceramic tint
5. Prep & ceramic coat the entire exterior (including the inside of the rims).
6. Install tonneau from 2021 F150.

Finally……

@30snack nice looking!! My 2021 is AMB so I went to red for my 2024.

Can you take a picture of the PAT door open? Did they Line-X around the curve of the tailgate shown in the pictures as they did on the outer edges?

Just clarifying - you’re receiving $7,500 in rebates for a King Ranch?

@little_R Yes, I am. $4,500 for rebate and returning leasee, $2,500 for a personal offer, and $500 for Farm Bureau.

@Chiligumbo

B Pillars and screen protector are from OCD Plug.

I swapped my bulbs on my 2021, however, Autozone has them, made by Philips.

The big girl broke out of the stable after her (9) week QA hold. Ford Chat confirmed she is at Melvindale Ramp 58. Not holding my breath she's loading onto a rail car anytime this week. ETA at dealer is 17-30 JUL, but I am betting that shifts right based on previous posts.

Truck adds are underway. Line-X in the bed is done. He is still working on the tailgate.

PPF, undercoating, Ceramic Tint, and prep & Ceramic exterior protection to go.

I love how the tech wrapped the Line-X down the back of the bed! (No more rocks, mulch, fertilizer, and miscellaneous stuff getting down there and scratching it all up.)

If ever in Indiana I'll have to drop you a line so we can get the two build sequence # apart siblings together. Do the same if you are ever in NJ.

@Z06Pat Will do!

Hey guys. Nice to see some people's trucks actually moving. I almost felt guilty there for a bit. lol jk.

I finally got around to posting "Delivery Day" pics (and the next day when it was a little more sunny). I won't post them all in this thread, but here's a link to the Atlas Blue thread if you are interested.

Finally, getting the after-installs done (Line-X, ceramic tint, undercoating, and PPF). Only the paint correction/ceramic is still to be done on Monday.

But the Line-X was done yesterday, and I got pictures today.

Tailgate done.

Open the PAT door and the structural member at the bottom of the tailgate is done too.
