my 23 pro sticker does not show heated mirrors so I assume they are not on the truck.

It doesn't show the credit, like the Heated Steering wheel, though. Might still be coming.

I see on the window sticker there is an invoice date. Can the dealer view that invoice at any time after that date?

Pro order here, looking like 10/28 blend date for me. Cool!

Anyone know if it'll be possible to retrofit the Pro with a heated steering wheel? Should be all standard F150 parts, right?

Being a Ford standard part means nothing. If these parts had been available, Ford wouldn't be deleting it.

so does where it says convoy on the window sticker does that mean its coming on a truck over rail car or is that just the final way its coming to the dealer.

THIS!!

This doesn't make sense. With very few exceptions, the vehicle has to come off the train for the final delivery to the dealer.

He's asking if they're standard Ford parts as far as being able to retrofit them in the future once they're actually available.

That was my thought, too. How many dealers on taking deliveries right off a railcar?

Maybe Rail/Convoy is how it leaves the factory vs how it arrives? Or maybe there are more railways going through dealers than I thought!

Fair enough, but that future may be further off than people think. Pretty much every part is in short supply, and the supply chain is getting tighter.

most dealers have off sight storage they my lease or buy a lot with a track spur

I just mean sometime in the future. Not sure if any past F150 owners have done this...

It seems like it is complicated so I gave up on the idea (for now) and may use a $50 plugin device from Amazon to heat the wheel (if I decide it is really needed since everything will be preheated in the morning when it is REALLY cold)

I found the retro-fit for the heated steering wheel. Really retro

Agree, I believe it means how it leaves MAP. My Bronco showed rail, it left MAP on rail then from rail in OKC to dealer on truck. My F150L shows Convoy, it either is leaving MAP on a truck and then switching to rail or possibly, but unlikely transporting completely on a truck.

Did anyone else have their active seats removed? Just saw this in my order tonight, was expecting scales, hitch, and steering heat to be removed but not seats.
