That is all I would need to see and I would be relentless with my dealer and Ford.

Beautiful!

I have seen a few threads about this issue on the FTE and Ford-Tremor forums. I do not recall seeing anything posted here.

That GG looks great and seems to be just a lighter version of AMG.

Shop local and if you get stuck reach out to Granger in Iowa. It was a 1,500 mile flight and drive back for me. I'm a very happy customer. You can find their threads on other Ford forums like FTE. No frills and no BS.

Cool story. Wow, 44 is way too early to leave this place. Her beautiful voice and the music may have made it a catchy jingle but in my opinion the words needed more work.

How about "Have you driven a Ford lately" Another classic "what were they thinking"?

You can probably call Carli directly to discuss what you want and what they recommend.

It varies greatly depending on the light. It can go from "baby blue" in bright sunlight to dark gray in the shade.

Gray. Definitely. Definitely gray.

I didn't mean to imply it was actually in production. Just that Ford kinda sorta promises to build it. "... means your truck is going to be built". Of course there are now guarantees but would that be reasonably correct?

I think you are mostly right ... but I still want one.

Once you have a VIN assigned I am pretty sure that means your truck is getting built.

I rolled the dice when I placed my order last year but I really like in person.

Home Depot will paint match ;-)

See my previous post. The Ford site clearly says the chrome tailgate applique it is standard on the KR. If you want a painted one - https://bfntruckshop.com/shop/ols/products/xn--2023-ford-superduty-tailgate-appliqu-panel---platinum-limited--king-ranch-czg/v/XN-202-FRD-SPR-PLT

Not true. If you look at the various trim specs on the Ford site you will see that KR, Platinum, and Limited have it standard. * Power Tailgate (incl. Tailgate Step, Tailgate Down Camera, Rear Park Aid Sensors and Chrome Tailgate appliqué) You can get it painted or buy one that is already painted if you really really don't like it.

Disclaimer: I have bought two vehicles from Granger. I will take you at your word that Granger sold below cost but we all know you can't sustain a business that way so they figured something out. It wasn't by upselling dealer addons or services. Grange got their business by building a good reputation of selling vehicles at a low cost (during an inflated market) and providing good service. No frills, no BS. My local dealers, not so much.

If it was active at signing time but missed is there something the dealer or Ford can do now?

I received PCO from Ford just a few days after my purchase. It clearly states when it expires but how do I know when it became active? I'd like to assume the dealership checked just before signing but assuming they didn't, is there a way to find out if I was eligible to use it? Is there something that can be done if it was active but missed? I do accept cash ;-)

Normal. On a similar drive with a normal output F-250 Lariat Tremor in December I got about 20MPG @ 68MPH. What a difference gearing, tires, and front spoiler make... I'm not sure if the gearing was different.

Picked up the truck on Saturday and just got home today (Monday). I am very impressed with the MPG. Cruised mostly at 72 MPH for the 1,500 mile trip.

I think you are reading it wrong. 3% of all Super Duties built could be F450s in 2024. That is Ford's prediction. Forecasting is very complicated for vehicle makers. They take the maximum number of vehicles the factory can build in perfect conditions and start subtracting from that based on * estimates for employee turnover, sick days, no shows, etc. * estimates for production line issues * estimates for supplier side issues affecting all Super Duty models * estimates for supplier side issues affecting all models and options (trim lines, packages, etc) Combine that information with sales projections for each model and trim to determine what they can and should produce. They also need to calculate dealer allocations and then communicate all of this information to the dealerships to make it official. Undoubtedly some stuff will change and people will complain. I am sure it is much more complicated than my simple description. I wouldn't want the job.

Looks like base Lariat gets a 12" screen and Lariat Ultimate package continues to be a very nice option. Pricing should be interesting.

Thanks. It kept reverting to my current vehicle. Once I used a private browser window it was able to work.
