Congrats, I thought trains went Choooo Chooo, instead of Woohoo, lol...

Mine says Rail, is currently at final destination ramp from CSX, but will get delivered via car carrier eventually.

Looks like the yaw sensor is standard with advanced trac option, not 5th wheel prep. AdvanceTrac is standard on all trims according to 2022 order guide.

Hardest decision I had was picking color, i struggled and went from Rapid Red to Antimatter Blue/Stone Gray. This Antimatter paint has consumed me ever since, I see a ton of cars everyday that is a close second to Antimatter, very intriguing color that I can't stop looking for. I think the top picture is Atlas Blue. My current 2017 F350 is Ruby Red and I love it, something about Rapid Red that turned me away, like an orange tint in certain light.

Mine shipped on 3/23, now sitting at final destination still not unloaded as of early today. Dealer informed me another customer's truck is at same spot since 3/24 and still not unloaded so that was not good to hear but sometimes the truth hurts. No choice but to wait, getting mad or pissed don't change a damn thing except my blood pressure.

Phil, after looking at order guide, it appears you must have Lariat trim or higher to get adjustable pedals, you have an XLT premium package, so you'd need to move your trim level up to Lariat. As for the roof clearance lights, you'd just need dealer to add order code 592. Upfitter switches can be requested using order code 66S.

My train car is due about 90 miles up from me, I must admit, the thought crossed my mind to go and see if I could see it, but then my sense came back and I said, nah, I'll wait till it gets to the dealer and maybe see it as it comes off truck since it's only 10 mins from my work.?

I tried to build an F350 CCSB KR like I have in transit, options not available so I'd assume they are ready to stop building 2022s and release 2023 MY and build what they can with parts in the queue and not accept builds with long delays. However, it did allow me to select several packages which include many options like LED lighting, moon roof and other items included in KR ultimate package. No console safe, no PTO, no vinyl flooring, no rapid heat, no upfitter switches, no roof clearance lights as well as others. If you really want those options, might get lucky and find something on a lot or wait and order a 2023.

Have you tried to build what you want using Ford's website?, It only takes a few minutes to confirm what options are available with specific build choices or options. If you don't know how, post your build sheet and I'll build it online with the options you want, it tells you why you can't have an option and allows you to change other features to make it possible.

BJ's is advertising Diesel for $4.75 today, last week I filled up at $4.66. I think this is the highest fuel or gas has ever been that I can remember.

My first read of your post is you want to add these after build at the dealer or shop, if that is not what you meant, my apologies. If the order has not been confirmed, might be able to add the options but might also depend on other options selected. I'll give you my thoughts...Just about every electrical option on the new Super Duties is controlled by a programmable module, so almost guaranteed the BCE codes will need to be updated but not impossible. Now, for the real hard PIA option of adding roof clearance lights, that would require cutting 5 holes in the roof at exactly the correct location, not easy plus they are not round holes but rectangle with a notch, very difficult to do and you could ruin the roof is you slip up one tiny bit not to mention the paint issue. Upfitter switches are probably the easiest to add but then they'd need to add 6 dedicated relays in the slots for each function in the engine compartment fuse panel plus add any wiring that might not be available on every trim or option configuration. Today's new trucks are not user friendly for adding electrical options unless they are just stupid simple, which not many are. Power adjustable pedals might be the one option that is not too bad, but since they are integrated into the programable memory settings for steering wheel, mirrors, seats or anything in the cab with a memory setting so it too would be controlled by a programmable module. I'd have to assume the programmable modules are already included but if your truck is pretty basic, some of the advanced function modules may not be included in every trim or option package. Sorry to be party pooper but I'm a realist, if you were very handy and didn't mind making mistakes, you could do it all yourself but by the time you were done, you'd probably say you should have ordered the truck this way, none of these three options were constrained commodities, my King Ranch has all those options, and it was built with no serious delays. Good luck...

Thanks, I'll never mention it again...

Okay, well damn, I guess that smashed my theory, oh well I'm humble enough to accept being wrong, haha. However, seems crazy that the date at the bottom means absolutely nothing, must mean something, otherwise why would it just randomly change? I think we just don't know why the date changes, but there must be an answer, things don't change by themselves, must be an explanation. But, I'm not going to lose any sleep, my truck is almost home and after that, I won't be spending nearly as much time on this topic, I'll be busy spending time in my new truck and getting it setup just like I want and won't give two %^&$s about any of these dates.

I'm not sure my window sticker dates mean the same thing as yours, but mine showed the date the sticker was created as 3/15 in the special order field and 3/16 at very bottom when it was first available to me. The date in the special order field has remained at 3/15 consistently each time I've downloaded it. Then, the day it was built, the date at very bottom showed 3/22 and when shipped 3/23. Today Mine still shows 3/15 in the special order field and now 4/3 at the bottom and according to CSX, it's supposed to arrive at final destination ramp (at industry) today on 4/3 so maybe that is the actual unload day and sticker was updated to reflect that event. build day, my assumption. Unfortunately I didn't create special files for each time the dates changed but I did see them and didn't think much of it at the time. I could have created time stamp versions of each window sticker PDF in the past, however I did create one for today's version. If mine was unloaded today, it may not change again unless the unload off car carrier at dealer creates yet another time stamp version. If this is all correct, maybe the date at the bottom others have obsessed about is just time stamp at each change in status. I think I created a screenshot of the sticker on build day 3/22 and I'll go back thru BOF posts I submitted and see if I can find it and come back and edit this one to show three different events that changed date at the bottom. The day my window sticker was first downloaded from tracker 3/16 Window sticker downloaded today, 4/3/22

I was just congratulating him on finally getting his codes after such a long wait...nothing more than that...

All any of us know about prices and value is what you can find online or window shopping at dealers lots. To not have to deal with the hassle of selling something to the public is worth a lot to me. I'd do a search on all the common internet sites and get the average or if you think it's in excellent condition use the high value and negotiate with your Ford dealer on how close you can get to that. The dealer has to make money and they assume all the risk so take that into consideration. I did my research on my 2017 F350 Platinum, I knew what I wanted for my truck, my dealer offered more than what I expected and so I accepted their first offer. My 2022 F350 King Ranch will be ready for pick up at my dealer some day next week so my new truck story and wait is coming to a close. Good luck but for me, selling something is a real PIA and I like the process to be as easy and as painless as possible but negotiate a fair price for both me and the dealer.

Probably could be done but IMHO, it would not be as simple as adding parts and cheap. I suspect many wiring harnesses are different and many BCE codes would be different to allow new inputs from switches and sensors before pushbutton works. Adding the key FOB will require more BCE code programming plus integrating into PATS system. I'd think even if a dealer did all this, it wouldn't be a simple or cheap change. I'm making assumptions here but electrical systems that are controlled by computer are much different than just adding a switch like in the good old days before a truck with programmable modules that control almost everything electrical in our trucks these days. I'd say before you attempt or consider this, you'll need to study the factory electrical schematics and check every wire and circuit difference between the key start vs. pushbutton start. Lastly, doesn't the key start switch Interface with steering wheel lock in the column? I think if you want pushbutton start with key fob, you'd need to order it that way and sell or trade what you have now, just my opinion. Maybe someone with more experience is on the forum will chime in and blow my comments out of the water.

Congrats, your wait is over, probably will be harder to read all these stories every day now, will be busy paying all your attention to your truck...

What does your build sheet contain?

Congrats, one step closer...

Sad situation, I feel bad for you, I wish you better luck...

Congrats, good things come to those that can wait...

My truck was built 3/22, it's on a CSX train since 3/23. Should be picked up by car carrier on Sunday or Monday next week, I should drive it home one day next week.

Joey, I created this thread back in January, there may be info in here that can help you too. 5th Wheel Prep Package Kit is Available Online - F-Series SuperDuty Forum - Blue Oval Forums

Ford will show the codes tomorrow then take them away and say, April Fools, lol...my bday too...
