What does it say on your sticker for final ramp? Mine was RA34 mesquite. From there it showed up same day!

Mine says “RAMP ONE: CH80”

Would just like better communication regarding changes to delivery estimates from Ford. Incredibly frustrating to get an official email with "Great News" and telling me how exciting this is with estimate of 12/28 - 1/3 and then hear nothing from them until I call this week and am now told 1/27 - 2/3.

Mine is optimism. My Mach e was built on 10/26 and at the dealer 11/17, over a week ahead of eta. And that was from Mexico.

Anyone in the MD, WV, VA, DE, southern PA area interested in trying to negotiate a group buy on Line-X?

The number 80 I think is the key cause my sticker said CA34 Convoy which matched the final rail destination of RA34 that Ford chat told me. It’s likely done with trains and just waiting for someone to haul it up IH35!

Did your estimate window update?

Yup, straight up!

Estimate hasn't changed yet, still 1/10/2023 - 1/16/2023.

I’m in jersey I forget where you are? I bought a bedrug from Amazon warehouse deals for 323.63 after tax. I didn’t open it all the way yet but peeking in the box is looked and smelt new.
I’d be interested in the cost of a group deal though. Maybe @F150Blue woupd be interested in a group buy ceramic coating. I know a guy near us. Anybody else in New Jersey interested?

I'm in the DC area. So NJ is a bit too far to travel for a modest discount.

Quick question for everyone. My dealer is giving me the following option:

The $1750 protection package includes xzilon paint and interior protection, door edge guards, screen protector, and window tint.

From what I have seen online the xzilion protection is garbage. Door edge guards would run me maybe $100 to do myself. I have a few people who do window tinting so that is a non issue. The last thing is the screen protector which can't be that much more difficult than a cell phone.

Am I overlooking something?

I can’t comment on what it includes, but if that’s all I would say but(edit: “not”)worth it.

I will say this though…EVERY ADD ON THEY OFFER YOU IS NEGOTIABLE!! Ask them their cost and offer $50 more lol. At the end of the day if they will make money on it then it’s a win for them. Everything down to the tire protection packages. Always ask for a better price!

I had him specify more than once, and that was all it comes with. My dealer isn't doing any markup's, which I appreciate, but I am also not looking to let them add a bunch of over valued crap.

Also does anyone here have a handy checklist of things to inspect before taking ownership? I have seen:

Take it for a test drive. Check the lights for fluid. Check all paint for dings or chips. I haven't bought a new car in over a decade and even then it was an ICE. Like my boss tells me all the time 'You don't know what you don't know' so I will happily take any and all input from those of you who are more seasoned

I saw a few threads on checklist. I think they may even be sticky/pinned threads in this channel (reservations, ordering, pricing etc channel).
•Both sets of keys
•Mobile charger in frunk
•try every button (windows, doors, etc)
•open and close frunk/tailgate

make sure they apply your deposit(s)

Looks and drives great. Thanks everyone!

I was quite impressed with mine. With a Day One reservation for a PRO, I was finally " allowed " to
order on 09/07/2022. Of course, PRO was not available so bumped up to an XLT. No price
protection, but I did get it before the most recent price increase. Only upgrade was the bigger
inverter. Total cost was $62969 before any taxes or fees. Nothing was added by dealer, no ADM.
It arrived at dealership on 01/04/2023. Haven't picked it up, waiting on credit union funding.

in addition to keys you should receive a plastic card with the master code for the keypad on the door (if equipped).

deposit is a good one. Mine conveniently missed it and I had to remind them.

make sure FordPass app is set up and communicating with the truck before you leave.
