I've attached a photo with your VIN. I don't see the power running boards an issue with your truck! :)

That’s weird considering my build date is also Nov 28. I wonder if they fixed it on that day?

Yeah very weird indeed but must've been like the very first ones that had the issues.

Not a typo. :sneaky: , well, guess that is what I was thinking and it just came through my fingers.

With it only happening in extreme cold, it makes me this the hinge could be jamming up somehow, causing resistance causing it to retract back up. Metal contracts when cold, doesn't say much for their cold testing of the vehicle does it.

I just hope they still ship to the dealers and let them fix it. Heck a washer may take care of the issue but it will have to be disassembled.

That way at least my dealer can get the spray in liner, the tires swapped and I can see it and take photo's and do unheard of things to the tail pipe (not really).
Is that a thing? Can you ask dealers to swap the tires off and get credit for them?

I ordered the FX4 package and it comes with GoodYear tires. The truck isn’t even built yet and I can’t wait to replace with BFG AT/KO2!

Some dealerships (like mine) will swap wheels/tires and give you credit for the 'take offs". My dealership has also agreed to install a lift kit, power deployed running boards, and Retrax bed cover before I take it home.

What power deployed running boards are you having them install?

As mentioned some will, I'm using my local tire dealer who gives a credit and sells the Michelin's at a better price.

Not sure yet on my dealership. I’ll be faced with what brand Ford decides for their 22” tire on the Limited - and what’s a better replacement. I may be in a bind cause my dealership isn’t selling a lot of Limited’s. I’ll have to wait & see. I’m still thinking Ford may go with the General Brand called Grabber. I’m somewhat surprised that Pirelli isn’t (as of now) making a 22” for the Limited. I had Toyo AT-III all country tires 20” on my 2016 and loved them. Wait Out ?

Alright so I checked into my order for my truck and despite it showing the FSA for the power boards, it shows that it shipped out on the 13th.. So this may be a dealer update or something maybe when these trucks hit the lots. Doesn't seem that Ford wanted to fix them at the plant right away so it may be a simple fix?
