[Avocadodude]

Hats off to our 5/2 group! I just noticed that we are the most chatty group by far in comparison to the other forums.

Well I do monitor this thread more than anything in recent history

Just outside Portland

I’m south of you. The two Lariats going to Kendall in Eugene are currently enroute via rail, so hopefully yours is on the same train…….

Neither of these are mine (I’m a 6/6 Build), but Kendall Ford, Eugene, OR is advertising these two Lightnings as is in transit & for sale: https://www.windowsticker.forddirect.com/windowsticker.pdf?vin= 1FTVW1EV2NWG04569

BTW, there web site is calling them both a “PRO” model, the stickers on both states they’re Lariats…..

Ordered my Lariat from Kendall, but neither of these are it. Hoping for a build date soon. Expecting Aug/Sep with a Sep/Oct delivery.

Hurry up convoys! I really don't want to do this any more... (*this was AFTER the $0.80 /gal off from fuel points)

They pump your gas for you and it's still $1.00 a gallon cheaper than here in central CA. I just filled up the minivan at the Chevron, $6.39 a gallon for regular. Unfortunately my Pro got pushed back from 5/30 to 6/6. Just glad they are shipping them! Can't wait to hear first hand reviews from owners.

We’ve ordered exactly the same truck …mine is through Wilson Motors (nothing slated to arrive yet) with 6/2 projected build…hoping for a mid-July delivery

Hoping those bound for Kendall arrive soon…I’d make a road trip to come look them over and have an excuse to swing by “Off the Waffle” downtown for breakfast

That was my thought. Not sure when gas for under $6 a gallon became a deal. Can’t wait to give a first hand review.

Well at least I received a Phone As Key PM on Ford Pass for the Lightning lol

From my sales rep:

“Yours is built. We are just waiting on what they call the OK to buy. They need to produce a few thousand perfectly before they release them. Hopefully any day now. “

OK to Buy has been granted. Unfortunately another sales person a little bit behind on the news. I think the trucks not shipping until yesterday is what was making so many a little antsy, because the OKTB was already already given and no real reason why the trucks were still sitting.

Yeah I debated even reaching out because I expected a response like that. Was hoping for some details around a delivery.

I will gladly trade you if you want one built later in the year .

Being in Corvallis, I don't go to Duck territory much, but Off the Waffle is my favorite brunch place in Eugene. That and the Beer Garden are good reasons for a visit to Eugene.

I got that this morning. Said it won’t be available until late summer. I thought they were already using it on vehicles.

Interesting - I wonder how many other features aren't complete that they haven't told us about.

 

[BlueF150Guy]

Perhaps this was part of the delay in shipping? I wonder if they were hoping to have that as a launch feature and figured out that they can't so they might as well ship them and push an OTA later. Just a thought.

Hopefully they get it working better than on the Mach-e. We don't use it at all, but the forums are full of people complaining.
