Wonder if those who waited on Job 2 and specifically are electing to get scales as a Lariat option (with the taillight LED indicators) will wind up getting full LED.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I didn’t add on board scales but I have thought about adding them in hopes it could maybe get me full LED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 The amount of uproar over a couple bulbs in the tail lights of trucks is pretty crazy. Sure, maybe LEDs look a little cooler due to the smoother light and not a big light source in the middle, but good grief people! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone (or some ones in some dept.) at Ford made a mistake and confused LED back up lights with full LED tails and put the wrong info on the website and in the guide. It doesn't really matter to me though. If they come on and turn red when I apply pressure to the brake pedal, I'm fine with it.

MO-250 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 16 hours ago, wfjames22 said: The funniest part to me about the led taillights is that apparently my 2023 lariat ultimate f250 isn't going to have them while my 2018 lariat f150 has full led taillights...as does my girlfriend's 2018 limited expedition. My 2021 F-150 Lariat has full LED tails and projector headlights and cost me $20,000 less than what I will be paying for my F-250 where you can't get the same. Which is why I don't understand Ford's logic of not including them on the Super Duty Lariat's and King Ranch. Maybe that was Ford's logic to increase sales in the higher trim levels but they still can't produce in the number of orders required to meet customer demand, so I don't know. If it were an option, I am sure most Lariat and King Ranch buyers would opt for that option and be willing to pay more for it. I am still hoping we are able to buy the LED parts once they become available for a plug and play fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a major supply issue? will it kill my build all together? My f350 just got built this week and has 2k pro power. Now, my build date used to be in February then got pushed to mid April THEN got moved to mid March. Which option(s) caused all this, I have no idea. Could it have been the spray in bed liner, wheel well liners, etc. no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now my best guess is that the 410 amp alternator is holding up the show on mine (based on the bulletin posted earlier). The winch requires the 410 amp alternators ( 250 + 160 amp) so I'm thinking about removing the winch from the order. Also very odd that the Pro power option required REMOVAL of the 410 amp alt per the Ford Build page but the winch requires the 410 amp Alt. Maybe those two selections together are causing a problem?♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have ultimate package and sport package I believe that’s because ultimate has power running boards in the package, and sport has the fixed boards in package. So you will get fixed boards and they discount $550. Funny last year they were like 1k for power running boards but only discounted you half.

system Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Just in case anyone doesn't know... the dual alternator setup is different between the stand alone option and the PPO setup. The standard dual alts are both 12v. The duals that come with the PPO have one 12v and one 24v that is dedicated to the inverter. There are also two small batteries under the passenger side rear seat for the PPO. Edited April 7, 2023 by system 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the winch needs the 410Amp set (250Amp 12V + 160amp 12V?) So I'm wondering how will the PPO work with the winch option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
