Only $45? I guess @Ford Senior Master wins. This doesn’t seem unreasonable. So why in the world do the running boards cost $2800?

If we're price is right rules, we all busted. He was definitely closest, but none of us go up on stage.

Running boards have a platinum, kryptonite, and garlic core. Some bling, in case Superman goes rogue and so you don't ever have to watch Twilight movies again.

Oh that’s right. So then we need the next item. Someone post a random part.

We need more train talk.

So riddle me this - Yellow Buddy has deduced that my truck will be coming on Norfolk Southern as they have the most logically located auto distribution facility for me (in Winston-Salem). When I dig into the NS network I see that their auto yard in Detroit is Melvindale. Melvindale is figuratively in the shadow of REV-C. My truck is supposedly in New Boston which is 10-20 miles away and is a CSX auto yard.

Wouldn't Ford just put my truck on the ramp at Melvindale if it were going NS? Are all trucks taken to New Boston and then mine will have to be transported to Melvindale by truck? Or is a rail car loaded at New Boston and then there's a spur line to the NS rail to get picked up by a locomotive when it passes by?

I need to order paint-to-match exterior door handles for my Pro. But that's no fun because it's the same parts as regular F150. Do a wheel.

Which wheel? A Pro wheel? A platinum wheel? Or a lariat wheel? And if a lariat wheel, the one that goes clockwise or counterclockwise?

Platinum wheel.

I already looked up Lariat wheels to see if there were options (there's not)

Maybe you need to look harder. I can’t live life knowing they only go one direction.

 

[Yellow Buddy]

My dealer got 4 shipments over the last 2 days from the same railyard. They need to stop delivering Broncos and pick up my truck instead.

2 of each clockwise and counter clockwise.

 

[Yellow Buddy]

2 of each clockwise and counter clockwise.

I’ll need a quote just for the counter clockwise ones please

Hell if I know. I just make it all up, you don’t listen to me, do you?

New boston is TDSI, so it shouldn’t be NS. NS should be melvindale or Wayne. But

I’m pretty sure I saw other F-150Ls leave from New Boston on NS. The question might be, is it actually NS? Or just for some reason showed up for tracking on the NS system? We’ve seen CN pop up on CSX as an example.

That might come down to how the logistic is coordinator is coding it in and may not actually be on that line..

Anyone else on here hate the term “Pending Pickup” ????
