This sounds familiar to what I occasionally experience but I'm just in normal drive mode.

Here's what you might be looking for, 4" BDS lift on 37's https://www.fordtremor.com/threads/the-antimatter-blue-photo-thread.2093/

Here's a link on the Tremor forum, maybe this will help out https://www.fordtremor.com/threads/the-antimatter-blue-photo-thread.2093/

A quick search on the internet will tell you the diesel is far more fuel efficient than the gas motor. Most guys average around 11-12 mpg unloaded and near single digits towing.

I've got the full kit for my '22, fit is amazing, they also have a shiny side for heat and a black side for the winter time. Yes it can be a PITA but keeping the sun off the seats is big for me.

I have a lariat value with Black Appearance package and it has the LED headlights, fog lights and tail lights. One thing to keep in mind, with the black appearance package, they are having issues with the spray in bedliner with will most likely keep your truck from going into production/built.

I was making an assumption to the OP's questions before the information was posted. Nice truck but I also own the black appearance package on a Lariat.

I've seen a lot of XLT guys use this company as it's pretty darn close to factory leather, if you can find an upholstery shop they probably could rebuild and cover the seat for you. But that might be out of your price range? https://katzkin.com/

I reached out when it was posted about the COVP and he already knew about it and was taking care of it. He's an enthusiast like us and doesn't like the run around so he doesn't push it on his customers. It just seems like a lot of sales people just didn't have the knowledge which is partially their managers fault in my opinion, but also follow up with your customer regardless if it's a 20k vehicle or a 100k vehicle. I hope you will be just as pleased as I was with my experience!

I ordered from Chuck Anderson Ford in Missouri, Nick the General Manager gave me a great deal, very communicative. I ordered back on 4/26, took delivery 9/29. I knew the wait was going to be long so I didn't really bother him but he would email me on all updates even though I was getting the emails from Ford as well. I also live in Texas so he arranged to have it shipped to my local dealer since he bought my 2013 for a higher price than my local dealer was giving me.

They will started the first batch of scheduling in almost a month, in my opinion, if your 21 was coming next month I would have just waited unless you get lucky and get scheduled tonight or within the next week or 2.

When did you place your order? Did your dealer enter your order into the COVP? As said earlier, they haven't scheduled Super Duties in almost a month, they start scheduling again tomorrow, so a lot of us even ones that made their order when the order banks opened still have an unscheduled/clean status.

I feel like the difference between when you ordered your Raptor and when Robin Hood ordered his truck there was an actual supply of trucks where as now, there's all kinds of shortages with chips and parts. But I've also been wrong plenty of times before.

Is anyone else's confirmation email not working anymore? When I try to view it online, it seems as the page doesn't exist anymore. Not that it matters right now, just something I noticed in the past few days.

On the Lariat version it shows the bumpers are color matched so I don't see why it would be any different for the XLT?

I'm just as anxious to get my truck as anyone else is but I wouldn't expect anything getting better for a few months.

With the amount of electronics on these newer vehicles (not referring to the chip shortage in general) I think the extended warranties could bring piece of mind to some. Regardless of the current situation I'm going to buy one.

Thank you for the information!

@ice-capades or if anyone else knows, how long does it normally take to receive the COVP acceptance letter from Ford? Should it be almost instantly like the order confirmation letter?

Remember today is Thursday and they are possibly scheduling trucks, not sure if the SYNC 4 stops that process today but you can always call Ford Marketing later today or tomorrow.

I'm going to say you might rub the radius arms at a full lock but I think you should be fine to clear the front valance without any issues.

Thanks guys seems like they're all about the same unless requested the higher package.

It's a F250, I thought because the Tremor came with the F250 suspension the 10K package was a downgrade but my sales manager said you can't have the 10K package and the tremor package together.

I think you'll want to get back with your dealer/sales person to add your email otherwise you won't receive the updates
