Since he said you could paint it any color what are you thinking? A nice teal or maybe some shade of pink?

Is that the extent of your Crayola vocabulary?

I'm thinking orchid w/twinkling turquoise and I will most likely get the bed sprayed in a matching color.

Since we have matching trucks, you're going to do the same right?

I have a friend who owns multiple car washes. I was going to see if he had one of those booms from a manual wand type bay.

@Yellow Buddy this is going to look great.

I was thinking more like this... you know the lightning blue thing...

We should take a road trip to visit @Commercial Sales Ford. We'll play "How many parts can you get off before he comes running out?"

Make sure you and @Ford Senior Master get the $3,000 running boards, I mean shoot you can trade them for a battery maybe, haha.

Buddy... we would never steal from one of our 7/11 nerds. We are going to plan a raid on anyone in a later build week that beats us. @hturnerfamily is a possibilty.

Ask him where he buys it from and how much they cost. If they're cheap enough that would be an option too.

Trade? Listen, the running boards have 3 nuts per bracket. That's 6 per side, 12 total to remove.

Your battery has 8. Just saying....

Driving:
Since I know y'all are dying to hear about what it's like to own one of these rare beast here is my 80 mile review.... Drove it home from work, which is about 95% highway and 80% route 70 with a 70MPH speed limit and I like to run 80MPH with the flow of traffic. I tried to activate blue cruise multiple times and even had it time it was active, however after about 30 seconds every time it would tell me to put my hands on the wheel even though it was holding a perfect. After about 10 tries now, it finally says i have a camera not working. I believe it said driver facing, the message went away quickly so I don't 100% know. I did average 2.0 KWH on that 45 mile ride which I was thrilled about.
Went to a local carnival in my hometown which was the other 35 miles, and the truck did great again trying blue cruise and to no avail. So far after 80 miles average is 2.2 KWH.

Tech:
After getting all the tech set how I want it, the phone as key worked great on the very first try, and I'm still adjusting the huge IPAD screen, I'm a big fan of having buttons and knobs but so far it's grown on me. Of course the BO sound system is great and I think I'll be happy with the SR battery even though I do wish I bough the ER.

Charging:
Pulled up and due to how small my garage is and the amount of stuff I have, only my Harley is a garage queen. Sadly the standard charger is not longer enough for me to be able to back up the garage and I have to pull in which now means my outlet is on the wrong side, but this is the only way I have enough space. Plugged in the truck and to go from 55%-90% it's going to take 5 hours on the 240V 40AMP charger so very pleased. Most days I'll use about 60% on my commute so I'm thinking 12 hours to charge full and i'm home every night for about 13 hours, again perfect.

Complaints:
Yes I've had this thing for 4 hours and 80 miles and I have complaints. As I mentioned the Blue Cruise not working sucks, but they can fix that so no big deal. My other complaint is I don't love the ride it floats too much like a boat and I wish it was just a touch stiffer but thats minor and I'll be able to adjust to that.

Conclusion:
Truck is amazing so glad I was able to get my hands on one so quickly and I can't wait for you guys to join me In the club. More to come on this for I would imagine, but first impression and thoughts I'm in love.
