Adding my .02 here. I just got back from a 11,000 mile, 60 day trip with a brand new 2021 F150 (XLT Leadfoot) and brand new 2021 Airstream Globetrotter. Lost trailer brakes for the first time coming down a 15 mile 7% grade off the Continental Divide in Wyoming. White knuckled it until I found...
Hybrid, 4x4, Max Recline, Work Surface, Tonneau Cover. Apparently I'm one of the unlucky ones who had an early April build and it is now sitting somewhere awaiting chips. Ford Corporate's communication to their dealerships and retail customers is abysmal. And now, like others on the forum...
Has anyone bailed on their retail order and tracked down a Limited on the lot at a dealership? I'm willing to go almost anywhere nationwide. I'm in Virginia, ordered mine on 8/20/20 and have no reason to believe I'll receive it anytime soon. I REALLY want/need to have it by 6/15 (I have my...

Well folks, finally "maybe" some good news - I ordered my Limited on 8/20/20 and the VIN tracker site just updated and says my ride should reach my dealership in VA on 5/25/21. Fingers crossed......I've been living right for a long time, helping old ladies cross the street, picking up other...
Any advice about a cover for my Limited (arriving in April). I don't have a garage for it, so it will spend some in my driveway with a few overhanging trees. I'm looking at the custom covers Weathertech has, but welcome any advice from you pros. This will be my first time owning a vehicle...
Here's my take based on my experience and what I've learned from my dealer. I'm in central Virginia, ordered Hybrid Limited w/ all options on 8/19/20. Just got my build week of 3/29/21.
If you're in a state like TX or NC where Ford sells a shitload of trucks, you're more likely to have a...
I'm happy for your guys, and maybe just a tad envious.
1) 10-Aug-20: Ordered
2) Crickets***
3) Keep telling myself good things come to those who wait :)
***explanation from my dealer is that despite my early order date, Ford determines commodity holds by region...so if anyone else ordered a...
I spoke to my dealer in VA again, told him that I've seen people posting that they ordered my exact build (including max recline, work surface) in November and have early Feb build dates. I ordered mine on August 10th. Dealer said that the work surface is on "commodity hold" for my region (I'm...
Placed my order for a fully loaded Hybrid Limited (max recline, work surface, etc) in August through a dealer in Virginia and still don't have a VIN number, build date. Ummm...is there something I'm doing wrong? From earlier in this thread, looks like others who put in the same order later...
Pbn2au I'm with you. Been scratching my head for a few months wondering why the max tow numbers are broadcast widely but the payload (cargo capacity) numbers are kept close to the vest. I have a 2021 Powerboost Limited on order and am still not 100% confident that the payload numbers (Ford...
Well this thread heated up fast. If you don't want the feature, don't get it. If you want to try out the feature, and I assume (like me) are planning to test its capabilities and limitations before trusting it, then get it.
Don't care if you're even uglier than I am bro. I read every one of your posts. Kind of marveling at how much you know about this. Thanks for the quality input. I'm a first time F150 buyer and really get a lot of value out of your posts and this forum in general.
Adding on. Really appreciate your insights. I'm not "great" with this kind of decision and it's a big deal for me. Bob: beers (or your drinks of choice) on me if our orbits ever intersect.
Hey Kavm - I'm in the middle of this exact same decision. Retractable Tonneau weighs 90 pounds.
Also - where did you get the 1830 number? From a door sticker, or from the spec sheet from Ford?
Thanks for posting all the pix from Atlanta! Can you tell me if this is the sticker from the Limited or the Platinum? I'm aiming for the Limited as a tow vehicle but that Cargo capacity is well below the 1810 Max listed in the Ford specs document.
