Well another better late than never story:
Received a text and call from my dealer this afternoon that mine arrived today. Heading to Salem tomorrow to pick it up. Looking forward to experiencing what many here have already experienced. This 8/22 Build Week Group has been a source of resolve...
That is an impressive list of accessories! If you've investigated and found which specific items you're planning on installing, I'd appreciate links to same. I've already decided to go with Bedrug (based on reviews, never actually seen one) and shorter antenna. But the remainder of your list...
I'm happy to report that FINALLY Ford updated my status to "Built." Now, I'll shift my focus to guessing the arrival week. I've enjoyed reading about others in the 8/22/2022 week chronicling their ,"Where is my Ford?" journeys.
Nothing new to add to the intel on delays. BUT my dealer Skyline Ford in Salem, OR called me (proactively) to let me know the status of my Lariat ER was on chip hold delay. Chad there honestly shared, that any ETA he might provide really wouldn't be accurate. He'd even seen trucks on "chip...
Thank you for that real world report. I can only imagine, the range anxiety in rural UT. (Hope you didn't have kids with you then, that would compound it for me!) Your trailer experience seems to align with others' -- not the weight but the increased wind resistance of the trailer greatly...
You just become my aspirational hero! Waiting on my AMB Lariat (build next week). While I won't be taking formal pics (those were great!) with it, I'm quite interested to know how your rooftop tent performs on it, specifically impact on range.
When it cools off, I'd enjoy seeing how it turns out for you. The antimatter blue I've not yet seen in person so living vicariously from those of you who have it. ⚡ :cool:
Rec'd today a most welcomed email from Ford Motor Co. affirming my vehicle is scheduled for production the week of 8/22. Moreover, they provided me a VIN -- color me happy. :cool: Last new vehicle I bought for myself was in 1977.
Joining this 8/22 group after Ford reassigned me from my original 8/15 group. Frankly just thankful to have any build week. Kudos to Skyline Ford in Salem, OR they contacted me (before I was assigned any build week) inviting me to test drive their manequin that they rec'd THAT DAY. Took them up...
