I believe you lose the fold-out tailgate step if you opt for the pro-access tailgate.

Disappointing that you cannot get massaging seats and a v8. The tailgate alone is enough for me to want to upgrade from my 22 Plat to a 24... Kind of shocking considering I don't believe I've seen m(any) Platinums where people have opted for the non-powerboost v6. At least they got rid of the...

Yes, pulling fuse 28 and putting it back in will get your sound back. As will possibly disconnecting the negative battery terminal. If you get the screech... I guess best solution is to open the door really quickly to save your ears.

Just had the issue happen to me a second time since buying the truck. The first was approx at 12000km, now again at 22000km. First time I pulled and put back the fuse... this time I think @Ford Motor Company needs to investigate. I've got 2 young kids, fortunately they weren't in the car when...

Truck looks great! have been considering lowering mine as well, and am like you in thinking that 2/4 is the ideal drop. How do you find the ride compared to stock?

Window Stickers are always produced at "today's MSRP", with the MSRP being the current MSRP at the time the sticker was generated. This "enables" the dealer to use the higher MSRP, in the event that the original ordering customer doesn't follow through. Ford dealers are supposed to price match...

Not neccessarily. Ford a few years ago did have TSB out for some problematic multi-contour seats, that required service tech's to do some disassembly. The reason that none of the dealers I asked about doing it is because they probably realize that without Ford's support, it would be a massive...

I asked several dealers what it would take to retrofit, all of them said not possible. That being said, no, the credit shouldn't have been "what it costs to retrofit". What the credit should have been, was optional -- much like flights do it when you have to get bumped. Come up with a number...

It's not just "waiting a model year"... but also paying substantially more for the truck. Ford could have "won" in this situation -- they were either just too incompetent, or too greedy, to do so. I'm sure in normal circumstances, they get a shipment of multicontour chips every week or two...

Apparently lightnings are now starting to get hit with this as well. Personally, I don't think there's any way they're going to offer a retrofit. Shipping 2 new seats per truck, all over the continent is going to be ridiculously expensive.... and then they're going to be stuck with a ton of...

In Canada it's $375... I offered Ford 5x that to put the proper seats in my truck...they refused. Truth be told If they told me 8x, or even 10x, I'd probably say yes. That's how bad these seats are.

Not exactly. Take my example. I ordered with a $750 factory order incentive "Your Ford your Way" from Ford, and negotiated a price with the dealership. A vehicle order, as long as it is sold to the original customer, is price-protected, so the dealership is able to keep my pricing as agreed in...

This. If a company knowingly advertises / agree to sell something that they figure will sell 100 trucks, but only have 10 available, that's absolutely bait & switch. However, if they only believe (prior to agreeing to sell) that they'd sell 10, and demand is unexpectedly high, you have to give...

Because Lariat seats have the single-zone power lumbar. My seats, from all appearances on the outside, appear to be platinum seats.

I have a Multicontour Delete Truck -- as far as I can tell, they appear to be the lariat seats with platinum leather... that being said, these seats are by far the worst vehicle seats I've ever sat it in, so maybe they are some bastard design. You get a 1-zone power adjustable lumbar. I've been...

Bumping this thread... anyone thinking to try and retrofit their seat back to multicontour? Anyone have wiring diagrams or part numbers as to what would be involved? The latest in my personal saga is being hung up on by @Ford Motor Company, and being told by a dealership that they want $16,000...

I'd go with the camp of dealer not knowing... IIRC, there are some explorers, which are missing the rear HVAC, that Ford has committed to installing at a later date, as that is a somewhat "critical feature" for a family SUV. If you can get the dealer to put that in writing -- great -- it'll...

The defender is a niche vehicle, so designers will get a little more "creative" or "risky" with special editions than something as mass market as the F150. We're all enthusiasts, so many would love the idea of a massive white stripe running down the side of the truck, but I suspect Ford wants...

Assuming they are the same interior colour, if I was in your position, I might consider seeing what it would take to swap the seats out. My driving is almost exclusively in either 1 hour, or 2 hour increments. I just took delivery of a platinum with multicontour delete.... I was pissed when I...

The more i think about it, the more it drives me nuts how some engineer didn't think about it. It's probably the most basic amount of code / programming. They've invested in zone lighting that you can control with your phone, how about simply turning on the light that's already there when you...
