  1. I’m not excusing them if they are just raising prices however, my guess is their costs went up also. I just paid over $3 for gas this morning and my groceries have gone up I’d bet over 15% because of inflation over the last couple of years. It’s crazy how much stuff costs right now.
  2. Not really. Try to hand wax once a year and wash by hand is all. I’m thinking I’ll follow these leads more with this new one though.
  3. Really good turnaround all things considered! Fingers crossed for quick delivery!
  4. I know the blockade is causing some problems with some of the models and factories. What is everyone's opinion? Is it going to affect the SD production negatively?
  5. Do these wash the under side of the truck also? Forgive my ignorance, it's been a LONG time since I've used an auto wash. Have you EVER had an issue with one? I hadn't really considered brushless.
  6. I never use automatic car washes. I just feel like too much can happen with the hands off washes. I do go use the hand-held wands sometimes but never the brushes. Most of the time I pull out the hose and bucket and spend some quality time just me and my girl. ? To each his/her own but I just don't want to take a chance.
  7. Yep, ditto! I've had a couple louder vehicles over the years. The older I get, the more I appreciate the quiet inside my vehicles. Especially with phone calls and increasingly selective hearing. ? Not to mention my seductive British accent Siri that helps me get places.
  8. Some folks are getting through in 8-12 but I'd say most are double that and I've been waiting since August 10th. There's all kinds of discussion about it in other posts.
  9. Yes, exactly. On my Escape, for example, I've only had it for 4 years and it's got 90K on the speedo. On my truck I'll get the full 5 years easy. I probably should have stated that differently in my post. ?
  10. Hahaha, I had my F150 for nearly 10 years and it had 30K on it when I sold. 60K will take me quite a while with my new one. ? This is really good news for me.
  11. Holy cow, most of you are VERY lucky indeed! My estimated personal property tax for 1 year on F250 Crew SB 4WD XLT 7.3 in Kansas is $893.
  12. I can understand dealerships needing to make a profit. All the empty lots. Nothing to sell means no profits from sales. All of that said though, I think it is generally wrong to charge more for products during hard times. I know morality doesn't really enter into the business bottom line but it should. It just looks bad to have an MSRP right on the window and charge thousands more.
  13. Hello! I recently put in an order for an F350 Lariat on 02/03 and also happened to notice a lot of the options I had selected no longer show up on Ford's website. I am a software engineer so I got curious and started snooping around their source code. I don't believe this is a system glitch, I was able to find a large JSON object that contained all of the missing options (along with options still showing). I also happened to find a list of part numbers that contained ONLY missing parts/options. This tells me these options are deliberately being hidden from users. Maybe it's not intentional but it seems odd that this list combines individual parts that can be purchased separately along with options like 5th wheel prep, Adaptive Steering and Moonroof. I could be totally wrong here just throwing in my 2 cents. I hadn't thought about looking at the code in the page. Great thinking and very cool! Thank You!
  14. I just ordered my tiger tough ones today. They said normally 4-6 weeks for delivery so I’m counting on 2 months. Hopefully I’ll have the truck by then but who knows. Thank you again for all the info.
  15. Thank you. The picture on the builder was what confused me. I don't think I want the drink holders anyway. My grandson is going to sit back there and the seat covers are necessary for that reason. No sure I'd want a glass of Kool-aid sitting there to spill anyway. ?
  16. WOW, that is a fast turnaround indeed! I haven't seen them like that much on here.
  17. Mine was 7 then 14 then 7 again and I'm getting a 250 XLT SRW so, it does not seem like all the same ones being singled out.
  18. I hadn't thought about it being a glitch, I bet you are correct.
  19. I was just on Ford.com building out another F250 and noticed that they have removed almost all of the add ons that used to be on there. Bed liner, covers, console safe, floor mats, even rear window options. There were $3,000 worth of add ons I did when I ordered my truck that are no longer available on the builder. I just found this interesting.
  20. I went back and ran my build through Ford.com again so I could see the interior picture. It looks like there is a pull down in the middle of the back seat. Does yours not have this?
  21. I got the same email. I'm betting it's a mistake actually. That's kind of how my luck goes. Like I'll get another email today that just says PSYCH!!! It's actually now the 21st. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
  22. Same thing here. Just happy to be scheduled at all!
