I still have no idea how they have the parts to make these big trucks filled with technology/chips/metal/computers/whatever and don't have the parts to add a small moving piece of metal along the sides of the cab. 🤔
I'm sure there's a good reason it's just baffling to me. Hopefully we'll...
I think in general, it would be naive to not worry about dealer shenanigans and you're justified in not trusting your dealer. That's why it was recommended to get one of those signed sale orders thingamajigs.
If the dealership I'm using tries to add adm, I'll just walk. I don't mind not...
I've never bought a Ford or financed through Ford credit either. Just noticed, at the end of the e-mail, there is this notification:
So I guess it's an Experian thing... might just be regular marketing. I don't think it has anything to do with the Lightning at all. ?
I almost reserved one, I really like the design. I like the look, the bed passthrough always seems like it'd be useful, the 4 wheel steering/air suspension look nice. Hopefully you'll be able to get various ranges/power with all trims, unlike Ford.
I just don't want a base model or the top of...
Wow, XLT pricing is... uh... interesting...
Pricing for the builds I'm considering is within expectations. I'm stuck between a Pro with Tow Tech/Bedliner/9.6 Pro Power for 45,282 and add the things I want aftermarket and a 511A Lariat w/bedliner for 79,764 and have everything I want and more...
Wow, "Your place in line is reserved"... Unless your dealer doesn't want to, then your place in line isn't reserved. Thanks Ford. :cautious:
I'm hoping this in practice isn't going to be as bad as it first seems but ug...
Ah ok, back in June they told me they didn't have any idea if they were going to try to add ADM and they'd let me know. At the end of August I got a message saying there wasn't any updates. If they said no ADM I probably wouldn't have transferred my reservation away from them.
I posted this elsewhere, but this is the list of the dealers I checked for a reserveration transfer (Southern California):
South Bay Ford: Wouldn't commit to no-adm, no pricing
Vista Ford (Woodland Hills): ADM
Airport Marina: Apparently only communicates through an antiquated "phone call"...
Some dealerships out there are silly. Had to do a little searching for a no-adm dealership but it wasn't hard to find.
In anyone cares, here's who I checked in Socal:
South Bay Ford: Wouldn't commit to no-adm, no pricing
Vista Ford: ADM
Airport Marina: Apparently only communicates...
Oh I see! Gotcha, that makes sense, it's the first one with the extended range battery as standard. :)
Wait, the "80 amp onboard power supply" is still bothering me.
Um, am I reading this right? You have to go to Lariat+ to get the emergency backup generator? o_O
I might have just gone from Lariat + extended battery to Pro + normal battery + tow package
I like them both, the non-light bar looks great. The light bar looks just ok. The 80s kid in me wants to replace it with one that has a red pixel that moves back and forth. ?
