What defines fixed op revenue?
-
Mine arrive late afternoon. Picked it up from the dealer about 24 hours later, which had more to do with my availability.

December? What year? December '22 will be a 2023 model year.

Don't think I've ever seen individual component pricing

With diesel, I barely even know my 13.5k trailer is back there. If you're getting near max 5th wheel weight, or planning to crawl over the rockies then def D. Otherwise, more of a personal decision. Since most of my trucks mileage is towing, I went D.

When I look the vehicle up on the Ford Vehicle Order Tracking it shows a 6/11/21 order date. Was once told by the dealership that a Lariat Tremor was a difficult build.
I find that hard to believe also. This forum is the only thing that keeps me from sticking the owner of the dealership's head in the urinal.
ROFLMAO, dealer's an idiot.
Specifically, what part or parts is he claiming makes it "difficult"?

Sorry for your loss.

That's GSR+LL6. A note came out over the weekend indicating that this might change, however.
and it did.
GSR - LL6 getting the same percentage... HOWEVER, they haven't told us what the payout is, 50% of 10k is the same payout as 100% of 5k.

I put on a short stub antenna on my SD. Just keep in mind underbody wash is not usually done with clean water, but instead dirty water. Where this really becomes a problem, in snow belt where that high salt content water is sprayed under high pressure into your underbody.

ppfffttt... apparently GSR only gets 54%, supervisors get 130%

Looks like about $7377.00 for the average employee for 2021.
About 56,000 Ford workers would be issued checks on March 10, 2022
GM is expecting about $10,000 per employee.
Is that union or salary?

Been years since I've gone through a car wash. Just a note, unless you're obsessive with using two buckets and dirt trap, even hand washing will cause swirls.
We're in FL right now and I've taken through the car wash twice, and in general you don't get the same level of dirt on vehicles we see in MI. So far, it's swirl free, but after the 2nd car wash, I was able to get a coat of wax on the truck.

This entire process has been laughably frustrating.
Stepping into not standard processing is always scary.
.
WRT the question on reporting it stolen, not sure I'd rush right out and do that, but asking CS agent when you should go down that path may get some movement and information. -
Did you post the source and part number?

Some states will charge fees based on the payload capacity, which is why lower values are available to derate the truck. In MI, it's based on vehicle value. I made sure to transfer the plate from the F150, which I just happened to renew 2 weeks before picking up the SD. I'll cry next November

I was under the impression front springs are the same for 250/350's with snowplow prep package, only rear springs are different. Neighbor has a 22 f350, I'll take some measurements.
rear spring has a "helper" spring that engages under heavier loads. Rest of time it just sits there looking pretty.

For the guy that dont want to spend $1200 for ceramic cote. Turtle wax makes a hybred ceramic cote that works great, goes on easy and seems to last. I treated my truck as soon as it was delivered so no clay bar required, just a good wash. My paint is the slickest I have ever felt and the shine is bright and deep. Cost is around $20. Takes about an 1 1/2 hours for a superduty. There isnt as much metal to polish as you would think.
Claybar is still required. I just did mine and found the lower 1/4 of the body had rail dust. Now it's all off and wax went on beautifully. My worst car was the '07 charger, it was covered in rail dust.

Hurricanes and gas shortages affect critical supplies that people can’t do without. Buying a new vehicle is completely voluntary.
I will definitely disagree. This made up term gouging actually has a use in controlling inventory.
When Hurricane Sandy blew through the east coast, one enterprising gas station rented a generator to run his entire station, staged fuel carriers outside the hurricane zone and raised his prices to cover his costs and make a profit. NJ forced the station to close, so nobody won.
If I have to pay $2.00 per gallon, I'm going to fill up my cars and gas cans. If I have to pay $7.00 per gallon, I'm going to put enough gas in the car to get around for a week or so, and only enough gas cans to run the generator for that same week. Same thing is true for plywood, raise the price and people will move heaven and earth to get wood where it needs to be.

Has anyone install this cover? If so, will it work correctly with a 5th wheel hitch still in the bed?
SUPER DUTY 2017-2022 REV BLACK HARD ROLL UP TONNEAU COVER FOR 8.0' BED
Part No: VHC3Z99501A42M
Is this the retrax style tonneau? If so, yes, it works with 5th wheel, and it has the advantage of locking in place forward of the hitch leaving items in the front of the bed protected from weather too.

Watching this topic. Mine does not have max tow. I think it comes with the 2 1/2 but am not sure. Hoping someone can say for sure. F250 XLT
2.5" Order guide will confirm that for you.

I like having dedicated stuff I don't like having to swap things around from truck to truck the truck. Why do that I always forget s*** then end up not having it on the truck that I need it on.
I bought a multiple size adapter, it fits very tight. Ford gave me 3 --> 2.5", but I got the 3 --> 2.5 --> 2" from etrailer.

just be aware, it rolls down into a fixed housing. you lose about 9" in the front of the bed, and it only leaves about 9" of clearance underneath. I don't like losing the space, but I do have the 8' bed. I would still get the hard roll up cover, locking in place is a nice feature and works well while towing the 5th wheel.
