✅ 5/23 Lightning Build Week Group

[Firestop]

Still sitting in Blue Island if the VVR is to be believed.

Don’t believe it! My experience was my VVR did not update from the time of arrival at Blue Island until delivery at my destination rail…a 14 day gap….a Ford tele CS agent admitted to me that…..

Your only hope is extreme patience (I had none), the automated phone trackers, your FordPass app ( if activated), or someone in the transportation industry with rail tracker access and willing to share.

My delivery date has come and gone. It was 7/15 to 7/21. Ship email on 7/16. No delivery, no update, no dealer help. Four days left on the loan rate after that there will be one up for sale after the FED raises rates again on Wednesday.

My lender SEFCU locked my rate for 90 days - even if you’re not in NY, worth checking out.

Thank you for the information. I will check it out. This is the end of the 90 lock I had on my rate from USAA.

Can someone that has a lariat already please take a few pictures of the overhead console? Thank you

Navy Federal is also a good source. I assume that if you are a USAA member you are likely to be eligible to join Navy Federal.

Rate for 60 months was 2.99% and it was painless.

SEFCU may not work because of the membership restrictions. But if you qualify, might be a good option.

Here you go - figured out to turn the overhead lights off - will give both. The good news (hadn't noticed with very little night driving) is that there are 2 overhead lights that I believe are part of ambient lighting to gently light the console.

I will also say this is another area that could so easily be improved. This could easily be tiltle/slanted toward the driver so you can see these buttons from the driving position.

My truck is at the dealer! Heading over later this morning. Hope this is a good sign for the rest of the 5/23 group.

Well Ford says my truck is in New Boston, MI. Whatever that is. The ETA showed July 15-July 21, 2022. There is an update pending. Ford is really bad at getting information out to the public about orders placed. If they plan on competing with Tesla on this front they have a very long way to go.
