Spring goes from March 20 - June 21, I would assume most consumer April builds would be out before Spring is officially over.
I've always preferred to have the regular running boards. They are a good defense against car doors in parking lots.
Same date still here. Wonder if you just got lucky and they had a couple open slots for 4/25 week.My production week just got moved up to 4/25/2022 from 5/2/2022.
NICE!My production week just got moved up to 4/25/2022 from 5/2/2022.
That’s one of my favorite things about my F-150. It protects you from car doors and does a good job on shopping carts.
How does that work? Nowhere near where an opening door would impact. I updated my order to add both the deploying running boards and the OEM Retrax XR tonneau cover.
Not sure if it matters to you, but you'll be waiting a while for delivery if you optioned the deployable running boards. Unless things changed and you know something I don't, vehicles with that option aren't getting scheduled because of parts shortages.
Sort of intentional/strategic in my case. I'm in Wave 2, am worried the truck will come in June or early July when we're motorcycling in Europe, would rather not have it sit at the dealer, although they say it would be okay. My salesperson runs the dealer's truck fleet purchase program, so was able to back-check through Ford and tell me that July delivery is likely with these changes. We've had the deployable running boards on our Ford trucks since 2010, find them a huge benefit for my 5'2" wife, also have work trucks with the fixed running boards and see them as simply a way to get pants dirty.
Who are you touring with?
The running boards are usually level with the center of a regular sized car door or the bottom of most suv's doors. If someone parks next to you and opens their door, it'll hit the running boards rather than your door. Only exception would be a truck or suv thats the same height as the F150.
There were no trucks scheduled for 4/25 up until this point, I believe. Only 4/11, 4/18 and 5/2. It might have been a production buffer week in the event they had some kind of issues and now they feel comfortable enough with how things have gone the first week that they opened that week up. *If* that is what happened then I suspect most people will see their dates moved up a week as time passes and they, knock on wood, don't have any issues in the production.
