QFT. Ford, in my view, has really dropped the ball over the last couple of years on the manufacturing side. Like, I get there were supply constriants, but we're now close to 4 years post-pandemic... your tailgate design has lagged behind for years. You introduce this new tailgate. You market...

If you think about it... the "limited" trim didn't even make a ton of sense. You look at the other vehicles in Ford's lineup that have both a Platinum and Limited... the Platinum is above the limited. Limited, in car-terms, has always meant upscale. Platinum typically means one level above that...

This. I get why people buy Teslas -- especially Model 3s. For a daily commute for most people, you're not going to run out of range, especially if you have charging on the other end. Even for a roadtrip, sure, you're going to stop more often than you would in a gas car, and you're going to be...

Few reasons: 1. I'm not so good with making habits, and would likely not bother to plug in when I get home, leaving me potentially in trouble the next morning. 2. I live in a cold climate, I don't want to go outside in the winter at 10pm because I just remembered the truck isn't plugged in...

Put me in the Platinum Camp. The Raptor is a great looking truck; but in the vast majority of situations 99% of people; it's likely inferior from a practical perspective. I love the look of the Raptor, but unless I'm going off-road, the Platinum is simply a much, much better daily driving...

Not necessarily. A set of doors (with no hardware, mechanisms, or electronics) for a 60s mustang is about $800. This is a substantially more complex piece of engineering / strength requirements than a set of doors for a 60s mustang. Then you get into the electronic side of things -- figuring...

Size & weight, specificity, complexity and engineering. 1. Tailgates are heavy and big. Aftermarket vendors would be at the mercy of multi-hundred dollar shipping costs to get these from their factory, to wherever they need to go. Grilles, even though bulky, are light, and can be easily shipped...

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...
