  1. I dug through all the forums, talked to everyone I could think of, and slapped the google on anything related to a 2021 Expedition, after all that we decided to purchase a 2020 Platinum Max and couldn't be happier about the decision. Thanks to all those that helped. The picture is of the trip home from the dealer and a quick stop to a great BBQ stand on old Route 66 in Oklahoma! 1BFBF901-6139-4960-8AF9-70F35AB20E73.heic
  2. Love the new 2021 F150. I'm hopeful some of the upgrades migrate to the '21 Expedition!
  3. Will any of the 2021 F150 changes migrate to the 2021 Expedition?
  4. Just a quick photo, very impressive truck.
  5. mine hit the dealer this morning! I'll pick it up tomorrow Ordered March 7th (my B'day!) Built - 03/26 Delivered by convoy car carrier (no rail dust!) from Dearborn to Oklahoma. Arrived to the dealer 4/7 Exactly four weeks! photo's to follow Eco-lariat 4x4 supercrew with most options - Tuxedo black, nav, moon roof, buckets, ARE tonneau, bedrug, AMP powersteps. Sticker was 47,380 and purchase price is just a lil' over 41,000.
  6. The Lariat hit the dealer this morning so no update for me. I'll pick it up tomorrow afternoon and will post some photo's for you hopefully later on Friday. Cyberdman, thanks again for what you do for us. It is truly appreciated. Paul
  7. I think it is the double secret probation that caused the trucks to be recalled back. My dealer also says that he has stock trucks that were built, shipped, called back, re-released and are still sitting on the ramp while my truck was ordered 3/7, built 3/26, and should be at the dealer late Wednesday or early Thursday and I should pick it up on Friday afternoon. That's almost 4 weeks to the day! I know it doesn't help, but my dealer is also incredibly frustrated!
  8. I couldn't agree more! I'd never have your patience. I read all the post just to see where everyone's new ride is and the excitement as it gets closer to home. You'll have my photos just as soon as it gets here. Thanks again, Cyberdan!
  9. Wow... bumping back to page 1 (again) An update please, I think it may actually be in transit, but you are all knowing! Dealer: F52686 Order: #6796 Cust/FIt Name: MCN*** VIN: 1FTFW1ET0BFB32466
  10. F150 Lariat Supercrew, 4x4, ecoboost, tuxedo black, 5.5 bed, and most all options. Ordered - 3/7 Slotted per dealer (what ever that means) - 3/10 Built - 3/26 Awaiting Shipment - 0/28 Origin Received - (Jack Cooper Transport Co Inc ) Ramp 59, Dearborn Truck. I'm not sure when it left but on 3/31 I found out it wasn't on the ramp and is being shipped by Jack Cooper Transport Co. via convoy (no rail) from Dearborn to Oklahoma. I was told the ETA was 4/9 but since it is a direct convoy to expect it Wednesday-ish. :bandance:
  11. Mine's on a convoy per customer service. I asked if the convoy was just taking the new truck to the railyard and she said no that mine was travelling via convoy from Dearborn (ramp 59) to the dealer with no rail involved. I've asked for verification and should know more Monday!
  12. I just found out my truck has left the blackhole of ramp 59 in Dearborn. It has been assigned and is currently on a transport (Jack Cooper Transport, Inc.) for the full ride to Oklahoma! Hotdog, no rail dust for meeeeee. ETA is 4/9 but since there is no rail involved I was told it would/should arrive sooner. :bandance: Let's hope the transport driver has better skills than George Jones on a lawn tractor... :tequila:
  13. bippity boppity bump Dealer: F52686 Order: #6796 Cust/FIt Name: MCN*** VIN: 1FTFW1ET0BFB32466 at the next status check (whenever that may be) could you see if there's an ETA for the delivery date? Also, while reading through the many posts in these forums do many of the F150's go somewhere else for "upfitting" and what causes a truck to need "upfittng" ? Thanks, Paul
  14. Thanks in advance for what you are doing for the hungry masses. On March 7th (my birthday) I ordered a 2011 F150 Lariat Supercrew, black with adobe trim and the ecoboost engine. Dealer: F52686 Order: #6796 Cust/FIt Name: MCN*** VIN: 1FTFW1ET0BFB32466 I read where you like to see pics of the new trucks when they arrive, but I thought I'd show you one of the tailgating grill we painted/altered for use with my current 01' F150 supercrew. The OSU emblem in the center of the grill used to be my receiver hitch cover.
  15. My thoughts are if during the 3yr/36mo time period I'm having issues with the new truck then I may look to replace it instead of extend the warranty. I've ordered the ecoboost and I will probably be even more watchful and diligent with this new engine than I ever have in the past. (and that's from a guy that usually keeps his vehicles maintained and driven for ten plus years at a time!) Maybe I've been lucky, but I've never owned a vehicle that I'd consider a lemon or generally just felt had issue's. My current 01'supercrew that I'm replacing still looks good and runs strong and it has 235,000 miles on it.
  16. I guess my theory is/was wrong. I just called Ford Customer Srevice and found out my truck has been built (in Michigan) and is awaiting transport. So anyone have a clue as to how long shipping takes on average?
  17. I guess what I'm asking is with the ecoboost turbos is a sythetic recommended? I remember back in the 80's when GM was turbo-ing all those cars and all you heard about was the turbos frying due to excessive heat. I realize the ecoboost is a different setup in regards to cooling and has been extensively tested, but I just don't want any maintenance issues or unnecessary repairs. I've always run Mobil 1 in my current 01' supercrew that has slightly over 235,000 miles and has never had any work done with the exception of normal maintenance/wear items. (it's for sale now by the way...) I've ordered the ecoboost in the new truck and just want to "do it right" as I tend to keep my vehicles for about 10 years before replacing. I tend to stick to the owners manual regarding these items but any suggestions regarding maintenance is appreciated. did I mention we like to tailgate?
  18. Thanks for the welcome. I just called Ford Customer Service and they couldn't have been nicer. I found out my truck has already been built and is awaiting transport. She also gave me the VIN number so now I guess I can forward that to the insurance company. However, now I have more questions than ever! I was content just to wait until the dealer called, but now I want to know when it will ship, how long it takes, whether it will come by rail or truck, and most importantly when I will finally get it! Also, my current truck is really running well and with no problems whatsoever. It just has over 230 000 miles and I'm looking for something with a little better mileage. Also, with my mom on side of town and the mother-in-law on the other I really need a 4x4 in case something happens and I have to get there!
  19. Is the onboard computer just a mileage or time since last change meter or some sort of actual wear/breakdown measuring device?
  20. Yep, they're huge, but go big or go home! Nice lookin' truck.
  21. for the F150 eco Lariat to be built/delivered! This forum has been a great help in my decision making regarding what to order! My current truck is an 01' supercrew Lariat with just over 230,000 miles and while still looking good and running strong I felt it was time for a new truck.
