Kyoshea Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Just wanted to say thank you to everyone on the forum that helped provide information about my build during these strange times. Here’s my build summary after 10 months and 11 days of waiting. Don’t worry, they will build it. ordered 3/18 accepted 3/19 vin generated 6/4 build scheduled and was rescheduled 6x window sticker generated 12/6 Order sent to plant 12/9 accepted by plant and scheduled 12/13 truck built 12/21 loaded on rail car 12/22 shipped from plant by rail 12/23 arrived at rail transfer yard 12/25 unloaded from rail car 12/27-12/28 picked up by truck carrier 12/29 delivered to dealership 12/29 Overall very impressive truck. Minor quality issues dealership is fixing today and I’ll pick it up tonight. This truck was a big deal for me since my previous F350 was stolen while I was away from home working, right before Christmas, and I’ve been without my heavy work truck over a year now. The wait for it was difficult because I had to turn away work opportunities. I wanted the options I selected and would not compromise since it’s replacement for what I had. The big hold up was adaptive steering, 5th wheel prep and any number of other issues, but it’s over now and I can focus on setting this beauty up to get new work done. Happy new year! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlasBlue350 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Awesome looking 350! Wow, I'm not sure I could have waited that long, especially since mine was ordered the first part of September, and 9 1/2 months would have put me way past the camping season when I really wanted to use my new truck. I didn't have the Adaptive steering, but I did have the 5th wheel prep and spray-in bedliner. Fortunately mine has been shipped so should have it soon.

Kyoshea Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Attached is the window sticker. Not every option but quite a few that were on the naughty list. Edited December 30, 2021 by Kyoshea bad file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUEC135ELEVATOR Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Heck yeah!? damn fine looking truck there! Love the grill! That's different than the grill on my truck, never really paid attention to the different grills but how did you get that Grill? was that an option or is that the one they put on diesels or some other reason? Either way sharp truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The file didn't come through, but that's OK. The thing of it is that if you really want those options, and knowing they could cause delays, you have to be willing to wait. So good job on the patience 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredrickhw Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Seeing this white platinum makes me seriously anxious about choosing carbonized grey. hard to beat a white truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toe Truck Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Very nice truck, Kyoshea. Would you mind letting us know what kind of issues had to be taken care of by the dealership? Still waiting on my order, but would like to get an idea of things to look for when it gets here. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyoshea Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 Couple little things. So far I only have 56 miles on it. The hood alignment is off. The right rear rock guard sticker had a huge black thumb print in it and showed up bad against the white. I’m missing my extra camera (customer placed camera option) I ordered (it’s on back order). Otherwise it’s a really amazing truck. Very smooth and quiet in the cab. I have not driven a similar truck without adaptive steering so I don’t know how much difference it makes but the steering feels great at slow speeds and on the freeway. Plenty of power and I really love the 10 speed transmission. Can’t wait to get it out on a long road trip and find out what kind of overall mpg I can squeeze out. The rear camera is lacking. Really should have a better picture but it’s similar to my mustang and our ST explorer. For what this truck cost IMHO it’s way more than it should cost but everything things expensive nowadays so Let’s go Brandon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ90s Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Awesome truck. You will like the white. We had a white Mustang and you never knew it was dirty until you washed it. Glad it finally showed up for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
