Little reminder of what we’re all waiting for, ha! And a quick shot of the new taillights in action

I think you guys will be thrilled with that new tailgate, and IMO well worth the wait at this point. I love the tailgate I have (step) but would love this more.

At first I did not like the look of the new taillights but seeing them lite up they are better than my 2022's. They actually have a significantly larger "foot print" of visible brake light from the rear. That is where you need the visible brake light and not predominantly on the side of the truck like mine.

Be patient and you will be rewarded.

Ordered a '24 Tremor on Feb 20th from Granger. Haven't heard anything from them about the 63X option but read about it here. Like others have said, I'll probably use the tailgate in its traditional form 99% of the time but would like the ability to use the additional features of the PAT from time to time. I'm a pretty impatient person to begin with so this additional wait is killing me. Beer helps...

Same for me. They didn't reach out to me either. My order with G was a week before yours or so. It's ok with me as I don't want 63X so I'm assuming I'm good to go and will have me truck sometime after orders for MY25 are being placed.

Hello. My name is Mike.. and I'm a PAT hold-out. ?

I think that I might have several options that could delay the build (or will be rare at least)... I hope not. ?

(Not scheduled as of 3/9/24)

I'm in the same boat!
Ordered from Granger 1-23-24 and have not heard from them regarding the 63X either. I actually added the BUP when Ford announced that the Lariat's would get the PAT for Job 2. If I'm going to pay for the BUP I want the PAT as offered. I hate waiting also but with a "custom" ordered truck, I want what was ordered without deletes. It's difficult to make the decision on waiting it out when they won't give you any information on how long the delay likely will be. Ford's "man behind the curtain" routine drives me crazy...

That is an incredible truck! Great specs!

I’m also in the same boat. Order confirmed 10/18/23 through Granger on Lariat 5.0 BAP with BUP. After order moved to Job 2 and found out we’d get the PAT, I could see the value of it for some things and decided to keep it.

Ordered the attached 12/14/2023, priority code 13 last I checked with dealer. Dealer made the mistake of thinking F150 orders were going to be back on track so they locked in my trade value. Holding out for PAT as of now but really need a truck so will see how the next few weeks play out. Hoping we will get some answers on when they may start scheduling orders with PAT in the coming weeks.

I placed order on 9/18/23 for a '24 701a Platinum package from Granger. I have not been scheduled yet. I've been trying to get a new truck since early 2022 but haven't done so since there were feature deletes out of those models. I wasn't scheduled in Job 1 anyways, I want the new tailgate since its supposed to be part of the Platinum Base features.

I'm also in the wait camp. With multiple trailers, and a travel trailer (and Roll-N-Lock installed), I've often found myself cracking open the tailgate to reach in and get something when a trailer is connected. I can see the benefit of the tailgate...moreover, I have an even harder time swallowing a 'delete' option, especially for a pittance of $270 credit...

If you are looking to trade at Granger (Since they are so popular here), shoot me a PM. I'm looking for a 2022 F150 SB. PB. BAP. Maybe Granger would do a pass through deal.

I am also in the wait camp, have not heard from my dealer on this last issue with the deletion code. But to be fair we have talked several time prior to that and it seems like I had more info from F150gen14 forums than he was getting directly from Ford. I ordered Agate Black Lariat 3.5L PB, 502A, BAP, Tow package and BUP on 09/14. Understood that if it was include in job 1 would not be new PAT, when it rolled over to job 2 was excited that PAT was going to be included. I’m going to sit it out for a while and se what happens. Priority code is 05

Curious why you didn’t do a Platinum? You’re already near that price point with your upgrades.

Color and the availability of additional options that were made available to the Lariat for Job 2. My spec Lariat is ~$8000 less than my first order, but that wasn't really a factor.

My original order was a 703A Platinum Plus in Bronze w/max rec seats. I wanted something with some color vs the sea of greys out there, but color choice is slim on the Platinum (on all F150s now actually). I'm not a fan of Black or Black (I mean AM Blue), already owned Rapid Red and white metallic.

I think my truck could possibly be more rare vs a platinum (which I like). Even for 21' - 23's.. I can't find Atlas (or Velocity) Blue+Chrome pics anywhere, plus I ordered Truffle seats and pretty much every option.

I'm not sold on the PAT and really don't care which one I get. I'm tired of waiting and no updates since ordering my 702A Sept. 28. '23. Build and blend was Jan. 19th. Ford should have delayed the order date for 24's if they can't build 'em in a timely manner. And where are the Truck Month incentives?

Ordered my KR two days after T&C made their YouTube announcement video. Priority 10 from the day I ordered it. Mods: 157" WB, Max Tow, and Towing Mirrors.

With a, "vertically challenged" wife and our eventual couple's RV plans, the PAT fits our lifestyle. Thus, I wait. Our high-mileage Explorer isn't going to gain/lose trade-in value and each month we're on hold is another estimated full payment to be used in the down payment.

My dealer (T&C Ford in Bessemer, AL) has not called regarding 63X. However, I am not surprised as I was clear in my desire for the truck to be built as ordered when the Smart Scale deletes were starting. - My salesman and I have talked about the truck and our intended uses several times. Jay knows what we want, so isn't going to bother asking if I want to make an unwanted change.

I ordered a ‘24 Lariat PowerBoost on 2/22 shortly after Ford showed the PAT on the build & price website. I had been waiting for this after many months of research. This is my retirement dream truck and I plan to have it for a long time. I’m too darn stubborn not to wait and smart enough not to take a lousy $270 credit. Haven’t received a priority code or VIN yet just an order number.
