First round of reports up to now show the following, maximum production for the week is 627 units, how many will be partitioned from this group into the "Spray-In Liner" group will be determined in 24/48 hours when stickers are revised, those highlighted with yellow over sequence numbers 1,3 and total week production are expected to change when that happens, as well anyone who who has special treatments after main line production.

yep, thanks for the 'direct' link - 7/29 Blend, 466 of 627 for the week... finally, no more 'push back' on the build... now let's wait for the end of the month, wait for the 'built' email, wait for modules, and hope that CDL Transport drivers are coming back into the business : )

- the Tailgate is removable
- it is lockable
- it has a opening 'assist' to allow for a slower/easier descent, when opening

Tailgate on the PRO at my local dealer wasn't assisted, I'd be happy if this feature ended up on my truck per the window sticker. Easy after market mod nevertheless.

there also may be some misunderstanding of what 'assist' means - yes, the Lariat and Platinums might get the 'full' tailgate up and down 'automatic' type of assist, but I think all the trucks get the basic 'entry level' downward 'assist' feature so that the tailgate doesn't just 'slam down' when opening it...

That’s why I asked. I didn’t think the Peo came with the down assist at all and I’ve seen videos of it just slamming down. I planned to have the shock ready to install when the truck arrived but now I’ll have to wait and see lol. It says standard equipment which is throwing me off.

Maybe they add it with the tailgate step which I have?

actually, Ford says that it is 'LIFT' assist:

EXTERIOR FEATURES
Tailgate with lift assist - Std on Pro and XLT
Power up/down tailgate - Optional XLT, Std on Lariat and Platinum
