  1. Hello again, can I please have an update on the below? 2022 F-250 6.7 CCSB. Order # K500 Dealer Code - F53681 Thanks again!
  2. Hello again, can I please have an update on the below? 2022 F-250 6.7 CCSB. Note - I did change from Iconic Silver to Oxford White (not sure if that matters or not). Order # K500 Dealer Code - F53681 Thank you for your continued efforts on doing this.
  3. Anyone have an Oxford White super duty with the Tremor package? I ordered a F-250 Ultimate Tremor in early Feb in Iconic Silver without the BAP as I still like chrome, but switched recently to Oxford White. I dont see much oxford, mostly Star White. I didnt care for the very slight yellow tint star white gives in certain situations, and prefer a more clean white. I'm also terribly indecisive and I'm trying to keep from going back and forth with Granger to switch colors/options, would love to see some OW Tremor pics.
  4. Wow that was fast after order, when did you get your VIN?
  5. I've used a few different brands over the past few years and have never really found one I liked. Either they are too deep and prevent stuff from sliding under it, too tall and block the view out the back window, too wide, all are hard to get in and out of. I WISH the Decked drawer system was not so tall, it seems like a great idea but leaves you with only about a foot of clearance up to the top of the bed side for hauling stuff. What toolbox, tonneau cover, slide out system have you guys been using and are happy with? I hate to just go buy the same old Camlocker toolbox, but it may just not get any better.
  6. Apologizes, Granger Ford sent me the wrong order #. Correct order info below: Order # K500 Dealer Code - F53681 Would you like me to start a new thread in a few months when I check again or bump/update this one?
  7. Good Morning, I'd like to get a status on the below. 2022 F-250 6.7 CCSB 4x4 Lariat Iconic Silver Order # - K513 Dealer Code - F53681 Thank you for providing this service to all of us.
  8. I wanted to order a print Super Duty brochure for me and my 5yr old son to look at, and to see if there were any PCO's with my name on them (seen one in my Ford pass app in the past just couldn't remember the date).
  9. So I'm guessing there is a delay between when my dealer ordered the truck and when the order shows up in the USOB, or did the customer service rep on the phone not actually look at the visibility reporting system? Just trying to make sure I didn't start off my ordering process with a hiccup, although I'm sure since I have the confirmation email and order code from my dealer (Granger) its probably fine.
  10. How long after ordering does your order show up to Ford? I ordered my F-250 Tremor on 2/10 and got the email from Ford, as well as a order code. I was on the phone with Ford marketing today asking about PCO and asked her to check on my order out of curiosity to see if anything had shown up yet and she said she can’t see anything in her system but to try again in a few days since it was so soon since ordering.
  11. Swirls are just straight line scratches or defects that are "bent" or reflected in a light source, they just appear circular that way. There are some paints that are harder and more resistant to defects than other paint and wont show scratches or swirls as bad. For the most part if you want to avoid scratches or damage to the paint finish of your vehicle the best step is to just wash as little as possible and when you do wash make sure its done correctly. Thats not always practical however, so there are some level of swirls and scratches that are always present. My personal vehicles, I have an acceptable small level of swirl marks I notice on them that it's not worth chasing and removing every few months, but I dont let it get to a level where the reflection or depth of the paint is compromised.
  12. Cloth strips still cause swirls. Swirl marks are caused by improper washing which would be a cloth strip in a car wash. Even with the perfect wash system (2 bucket method, foam first, rinse etc) you can induce swirl marks. The issue in a auto car wash isnt the strips or brushes themselves, its the fact that they aren't cleaned after each use and have dirt from 40,000 previous cars on them grinding into your paint. Each car that goes in a auto wash isnt rinsed correctly first hand, so grit transfer is an issue. Swirls are pretty easily corrected if needed and you may not care about them. For keeping a vehicle long term, correcting the paint multiple times will cause thinning of the paint layer over time which will lead to clear coat failure.
  13. I've noticed alot of recent orders in the past month have already gotten VIN #'s and build dates, what change do I have of ordering 2/10/2022 of getting the truck (pending no delays with my options) earlier than the estimated 6-9 months?
  14. Unfortunately a easy way to keep the truck clean without damaging the paint in some capacity are exclusive to each other. Now minimal damage corrected easily can be achieved, but thats a known risk. I'm in construction and don't always have time for a proper wash on my truck, so I foam it with my power washer and rinse which does a decent job. I really try not to run through a brush wash, but it may get done once or twice a year when its really bad. In the case I do a brush auto wash, I always power wash the truck myself first to make sure its as dirt and grit free as possible.
  15. I read on the super duty ordering group on FB from what looked to be a Ford employee that the trucker blockade is directly causing shift's at the plant to lay off because they cant get materials. I get the strike though, I'm willing to keep waiting if need be.
  16. Add me to the list of people looking for PCO's. I had one last year on my Fordpass app that already expired, didnt even notice it because I didnt open the app.
  17. When I had my 7.3 in the 4:30 geared Tremor trim, it was 12city and 15 highway with my heavy foot. Towing 10-15K I would be in the 8-9mpg range. Not direct comparable, but my current 2017 Ram 6.7L Cummins is 15-16 city and 18-20 highway, and towing the same amount nets me 11-13mpg. An increase for sure with the diesel, but you sure can buy a lot of gas for the $10K option. That being said, my new truck I ordered is a 6.7L Diesel because I dont like the way the 7.3 works with the 10spd.
  18. I've got a buddy who's kids shoved a bunch of change into his factory 2016 Expedition radio, its a base model with cloth seats and no navigation. I hate to go to eBay and buy something unknown, but I'm sure a dealer would charge an arm and a leg. Any other resources to look for a factory radio?
  19. I had a 2020 7.3 Tremor F-250 and towed 15K once a month bumper pull. I had to add sumo springs to control sag. Now that I've ordered a 2022 250 6.7, I'm considering airbags as well.
  20. Previous detail company owner here. Put me in the camp of dont take it through a brush wash unless you are desperate. Brushes scratch the paint, the soaps they use are harsh, and they dont do a great job anyway. Brushless is ok for a few runs a year, but otherwise I like to just hire a detailer or do it myself.
  21. The way I understand it is that it will be a 2022 unless a severe delay happens and then I'll get the option to re-order a 2023 with priority? As long as there are no changes, I could care less either way what model it is I guess.
  22. Ordered my 2022 F250 Tremor 6.7L and got Ford confirmation email on 2/10. Would be cool if my truck was one of the ones that got scheduled super quick but the dealer told me to expect a 6-9 month wait which I feel like is much more accurate. I didn't choose the bedliner or 5th wheel in hopes to speed the truck up some.
  23. I can only speak from experience with DIY ceramic coatings, but if you do a ceramic coat...get it done by a professional. I've owned a detail company in the past and have had experience with many types of coatings and sealants. I have tried probably a dozen of the DIY consumer coatings, not one stood up to daily driving and washing like a professional coating does. System X, Ceramic Pro...find a certified installer and just have them do it.
  24. Good Evening. I recently found out about this forum from another few Ford websites while researching and ordering my 2022 F-250 Tremor. I've got what looks like a long wait in front of me, so I will try to satisfy my needs for super duty info with this and a few other forums. I live in the Raleigh, NC area, and have had severa Fords in the past including a 2020 F-250 7.3 Tremor. Great to be here!
