Have had mine for a month now. Almost 5K miles on it already! Drove it to TX two days after I took delivery and also went to Joshua Tree NP last week! So far no I’ve put a fitcamx DashCam, stubby antenna and Retrax Pro MX tonneau cover on it.
It is excessive.... I was planning on doing a full paint correction and then ceramic coat right right when I got it but since it arrived later than expected it'll have to wait. Taking it on a 3K mile road trip starting tomorrow! Holy smokes this thing drives smooth (then again it's a big upgrade...
After a heated back and forth exchange of words they relented and stuck by the original agreement to charge MSRP. I refuse to pay any ADM. Reflecting back on the whole experience this weekend the stress of going to a dealership, waiting, and the "negotiations" that take place left a pretty sour...

Thanks for the catch - 09/17 was my original date... When contacting Ford Chat many moons ago I asked for my inquiry to be elevated. I'm assuming this was a follow up
Just got a call from Ford corporate and the new estimated arrival time to the dealer is 11/17. Not holding my breath though - on Ford.com it still shows 09/30-10/06...
So I contacted Ford Chat yesterday (have been doing so ~ 2x a week since when my truck was supposed to arrive) and all they tell me is that the last update was on 09/23 and the vehicle location is Blue Island, IL....
My original dates were a week before yours - Not sure why I'm not getting any updates.
I was planning on using the truck for a family road trip during Thanksgiving, but that is looking more and more not likely. (Who would've known a 2 month buffer was not enough??) I'm now questioning if it...
