Grey Beard got a bath and wax today and I just have more pep in my step !

Exactly might find a gooseneck and an old classic to restore

I don’t but having said that I am a general contractor and never know when something is going to necessitate removing an excuse. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. My mantra

Problem solved

Problem solved with a couple of BuiltRite panels. One side just waiting on fire extinguisher

I think something is missing from my receiver as the plug has no retainer. Can Anyone snap a picture of theirs? I am sure ford will tell me I am SOL. Here is mine straight from the box.

Since my truck came with the 5th truck figure I might as well have the balls for a gooseneck in case I was ever in n the need to pull one, not to mention I got a screaming deal at $225 for a brand new Ford kit. Where is everyone storing them? I bought the 37k set just in case I needed the larger ball definitely not needing the capacity. Mine came in the plastic box with the foam cutouts so it will stay organized and not rattle around BUT it will not fit in the under seat rear storage due the the design of the ‘22. Really didn’t want this in the bed sliding around even though it would be secure under my Retrax bedcover.

Is this normal? Purchased and picked up on 5/28/22. Still no points. Registered FordPass app upon pickup. Who do I contact ?

So can someone verify a rough order of magnitude cost to add these after the fact? Also does Ford have an actual procedure or is it left the the dealers to butcher as they see fit ? I wish I had them but as always would be concerned about adding after the fact.

Just had my SpeedLiner color match bed liner done this morning. Been using SpeedLiner for over 20 years and IMHO they are miles above the rest. Carbonized Gray match 2022 Tremor

This is what I thought too!! Any input on what the coverage difference is between the two?

Wow this is phenomenal advice. Thanks for taking time to respond with such a useful suggestion to seek the truck and buy a car. i understand that nothing will completely prevent dust and water but it is about minimizing points of entry.

My dealer recommended using a non-Ford extended warranty citing that Ford’s coverage was less comprehensive and that they, Ford, were denying more claims. Strange thing is when I had the dealership quote an extended warranty they quoted Ford premium care but when I actually bought the truck they snuck in EG Assurance at a premium price. When I called them out on it they gave me the above explanation. anyone have any experience with this EG Assurance ? Good/bad/indifferent? I can and will have the dealer change me if needed as. Want the most comprehensive 8 year 150k mile warranty for my new platinum

Looking for ideas to seal up around the punched bed holes for the 5wp. I will be installing a retrax cover so I want to attempt to seal up avenues for dust/dirt/water etc to enter the bed and these oversized punched holes are prime candidates. I will also be installing a spray liner as well after the holes are sealed. I am thinking about a urethane caulking which should allow the bed liner to adhere. Ideas and suggestions needed. Thank you

Any rumor on the reveal?

Is there anyway to get a detailed history of your build that would at least outline any QC issues or the likes? I was told by Ford marketing that my build started on 4/11 but wasn’t completed until 4/13 maybe because it had to go to gfx or maybe QC issues? @ice-capades

I hit the lottery and solved MY multi-contour seat issue. I cancelled my dream truck order as I personally am very challenged to accept something that is sub-par to the base trim level that I ordered(a platinum). What I was fortunate enough to do was find a Platinum that was on a lot that had all the platinum base equipment plus several of the options that I was dead set on. Now it’s not my first choice of color or interior but it is a complete Platinum. so thanks to someone double ordering to see which order came in first and cancelling to other I picked up a truck so that I am not without all summer or potentially into next year. All in all I don’t agree with ordering multiple trucks from multiple dealers to double down on your chances of getting a build sooner but thankfully someone did and it worked out for me. best of luck to everyone else waiting on a build date, build or delivery I hope you get yours expeditiously and that Ford builds ALL THAT THEY ACCEPTED orders on(my crystal ball and I have an opinion on this but we all know what opinions are good for) as ingenious and resourceful as this community is I feel confident that someone will come up with a way to add MC functionality after the fact IF the actual bladders are installed and the missing component is limited to only a module(which I don’t think anyone can confirm and it’s only speculation). Big question will then be the cost which will most likely be far more than the credit if $300. fwiw one very important option missing on my new truck is the power deployed running boards. They can be added after the fact with some significant work(for the oem boards) at a significant cost (around $2500 parts only). The stock tremor boards are no where near comparable in cost even though at the time of ordering it is a no cost swap. Bottom line is focus the effort on finding a retrofit solution as this group can do it as it is just a matter of how much time, effort and $$$ you want to invest. Yes I am very unhappy, yes I am very disappointed but nothing we can do about it unfortunately it is a crap sandwich and if you want a truck this year your gonna have to eat it or find one that someone has cancelled I will not stir the pot anymore? proud owner of a 22’ CCSB F250 Platinum Tremor 6.7 in carbonized gray with a winch(no missing 6.7 sensors and fully functional multi-contour seats)

I will probably get banned but .. if I had to guess you’re a Ford employee and I am sure you’re tired of seeing your employer getting bashed but.. “Good Grief get over it!!” People are tired of Ford, or any other corporations for that matter, using the Covid card. There is sufficient real information for those who seek it about Ford and others, pressing the pause button on chip and commodity suppliers when Covid hit and once that train is stopped it’s hard at best to restart it as supply gets diverted. I get it I personally would have assessed cash flow and kept the chips/commodities coming as I know I would use them eventually when the dust settles but I am not a multi-billion dollar corporation. I guarantee that Ford is trying their best to recover but they have also done damage assessment to the 2023 line and how best to mitigate further impact and damage there. This would mean they have seen the end of the line for 22MY and have already had their commodity suppliers geared up and released on 23MY parts so that they can be more efficient when the order banks open and can look really smart(which honestly at the point they at now is the smart thing to do even though in the process the consumer is getting force fed a crap sandwich). all in all it is a simple ROI evaluation and it is easier to crap on the few remaking 22MY customers rather than crapping on the upcoming 23 on slaughter. in the end let us vent

Someone want to tell me how to do a national search please ?

Not gonna reduce myself to the level of referencing butt massagers butt maybe you might be able to understand about principal. Order something get a confirmed order then arbitrarily be told you have to settle for something else is not throwing a fit about a butt massager or lumbar support or active steering or the list goes on. When does it stop only when Ford says it does

My big things is it is never ending. First it was active steering, BAP, 5wp, bed liner etc. I wasn’t worried about the bed liner or 5wp or even BAP as I could add those for comparatively the same cost after the fact. I wasn’t happy about the active steering as I really wanted it as it worked great on my ‘19 KRU. I was upgrading to a platinum so I could get a few other things I wanted. In the end, or rather right now as I am not built, I am being forced to settle for no active steering, no multi contour seats, no lumbar, some missing sensor within the 6.7 diesel system so my frustration is that it never ends and the excuse is the same. In the end I have no one to blame but myself as I should have kept my ‘19 KRU in lieu of thinking I could upgrade to the exact truck I wanted. Now I will eventually get a truck but it will not be the truck I wanted or ordered. Many will say then wait and order a ‘23 but I can’t be without a truck for 18 months. It just aggravates me to no end that Ford took my money and my order and now isn’t going to honor it. Such is life I guess. Ford is telling the truth they want to build the trucks and get them into consumers hands in some configuration as this is revenue as someone will buy them. The very last thing Ford wants is to have to cancel orders and fade the heat for that. Also the quicker they get the 22MY closed out the quicker they can start the whole process again for 23my

So “Thank You Ford May I Please have Another ? ” no is the answer as a life long loyal customer I am gonna memorialize my sub-par half a$$ Platinum, if I ever get it, as my LAST Ford product if Ford doesn’t step up and make this right to give us the trucks we ordered and have been waiting months for. Don’t tell me GM can do it but Ford can’t. It is a matter of want to and $$$

Well I am definitely not getting in line for another F’ing from Ford after this round. I will take my chances with another manufacturer. At least GM has said that for the options they are deleting they will retrofit at their expense when the parts become available in lieu of we are sorry but not my fault.
