As a salesperson this is one of my biggest pet peeves with new colors. You have no idea how to explain the color to someone when they ask because you've never seen it. Not all colors look the same on vehicles too. Iced Blue Silver Escape Ugly, Iced Blue Silver Lighting yes please.

Or a swatch. I hate swatches. I always think, great. What's it look like on the rest of the car? Especially on curves and angles.

Just steer everyone to black.

"What color is it like?"
"Black"
"But what kind?"
"The dark kind"

My truck was rented for a publication so it'll end up on the internet somewhere. I was told I'd be sent a copy prior to publishing. Some folks out there are going to be really excited to see that the Pro comes with running boards only to be really disappointed later...

Antimatter Blue is one that looks completely different on the Ford site vs. in person. I regret not going Atlas Blue, on everything but a sunny day.

I steer a lot of people away from Antimatter blue just for that reason. My dad went with it on his King ranch that's two tone and that color looks so much better because you can actually see the blue in it with the tan on the bottom

And my SA steered me into it, saying it looked so much better than Atlas. I did see it on a KR in person and you're right, especially with the tailgate applique. I was originally looking at a Lariat PowerBoost with the chrome bumpers and accents, I think it would have been okay there. But the more "sport" like appearance of the Lightnings make it a tough color.

I had AMB at first, and the color with the black pro bumpers just set my OCD off. I'd constantly be going - is it the same? no...yes? no....

I don't like you.

I'm right there with you on regret but I have found garage parking works well enough by monitoring the rear camera and how far the bumper is past the door track. The rear camera has good resolution and downward angle for accurate distance representation.

It's not just that....

I stumbled upon an ICE Forscan thread that managed to activate the Assist feature, but it requires the 360 cameras...

Oh you know you just want zone lighting for your running boards.

Welp, I got a speed camera ticket in the mail today from the first week I had the truck…. oops.

Anyone here still stuck on software version 3.1? I’ve set up my wifi connectivity and set my preferred update times but still have not received a single update.

Mine finally hit last Thursday. After trying all the things the ford OTA people told me to try, I got a random notification after driving it for 30 min to the drs office and parking it there for about 15 min. Seems like it’s all random…

Easy to do in your state, seems like there’s one every 5 feet!

Brethren, I am a meek Pro owner with Sync 4. I am aware of a Ford streaming trial which expires early Oct. What can I do with it? The only app I see which might rely on streaming service is pandora and can’t seem to add others

I really like the AMB, reminds me of my first 1991 F-150.

So my tailgate problem is contrary to what the spray in bed liner place thought, the latches don't work as well with liner in them. New latches on order for later this week.

Weird to me that the truck is so protective that it won't even try to close the tail gate if it detects a latch problem.
