So again, 06/13 Build Group, Blend Date 06/16. XLT SR. 97/299 for Spray in. 965 lines of Modules. CA via CONVOY

 

[TaxmanHog]

On the 22nd, I got an "In production" date of 6/21 in the tracker. Couple days later, it's gone. Any significance to that?

I've only seen that a couple times, and noticed on yours earlier, didn't want to break the bad news, but it will come back shortly.

The plot thickens. Talk about things going from famine to feast. I've ripped the earth off its axis trying to find a well-optioned F150 these past months, and now it appears I soon have this decision to make:

Blend	Truck	Status	Cost	Notes
6/17	Lariat 511a Lightning ER w/ Max Tow	1147 modules and a tear tag (beeyotch!)	MSRP + Left Testicle in ADM	Want it so damn bad, but am somewhat fond of lefty
3/17	Lariat 502a Powerboost (loaded, no known deletions)	"Built" 6/20; now "In Transit"	MSRP	Would save ~ $42K. Approx. 700mi range on a tank. Not my preference in color/sport package but would be fine for a couple years until the clock strikes Rivian or Cybertruck o' clock. Worried that it just spent 3 months having its wiring harnesses gnawed on by rodents on a lot in Michigan. Also concerned about reliability issues with the powerboosts / ICE trucks being reported on the ICE forum.

You boys are my de facto support group and understand the Lightning fever. But the right move here is to flip the bird to the dealer ADM, take the ICE Lariat, and save the money, right?

Right?

I seen this phenomena a few times during this mornings screening, the US & Canada databases or query engines are not consistent

Convoy or Rail? Mine is coming to NorCal also on Convoy, same build week.

Gorwell you Convy also? same build week? Maybe we get on the same transport

Yup, our trucks will be good friends; I've told mine not to leave any Nor Cal truck behind

Im about 1-2 hours from you two. Best of luck to us, mines also convoy ramp CA84. If memory serves they carry about 6-7 full sized trucks per load. We might already have taken up 3 of those.

Right?

I would pass on both. Wouldn't pay markup on a Lightning and I wouldn't pay MSRP on a Lariat. My ordered Lariat was $9000 off msrp and still thought that was overpaying.

 

[TadCurious]

Downtown Ford. So far they have played it straight with me all the way. No ADM talk, no dealer add ons, no trying to steer me to a lender. We'll see if it holds through delivery. Have you been happy with Folsom Lake?

 

[TadCurious]

Convoy or Rail? Mine is coming to NorCal also on Convoy, same build week.

It says convoy. I have heard from others that it may still go by rail but I won't know until it is shipped. I really hope we get them trucked. Seems like they would be delivered faster. Especially with BNSF slowing their shipments through the end of July.
