I guess I should post a picture of mine. Great experience at delivery with Granger. In and out in 10 minutes max. They are awesome!

Very nice. Love that Antimatter Blue!

Congrats! I'm also flying next week to Granger to pick up my truck. I'm also departing from SEATAC It will be red eye and layover in Denver. I'll have to figure out if I can sleep over in Denver airport.

How was your delivery experience? Did you test drive? Did you have a list of checklist items for inspection? I need to do my homework and be ready for the delivery.

There's a lot of trucks here. But I think it might be this one? Tow mirrors?

Thanks for the photo. I don't think that's mine unless they threw in an FX4 package for free . Otherwise, yeah I did get the tow mirrors and the color and trim are right.

With all those trucks if they took more than 10 minutes, they would have to be open 24 hours to execute all the deliveries. Your truck looks fantastic. Best of luck with it.

Honestly, I didn't go over the truck with a fine tooth comb at Granger. I spent about 5 minutes inspecting it, started it up, that was about it. I figured I already owned it, and there was no way I was not driving it home that day unless it basically didn't run.

But now that I'm home and have looked it over more, the truck is awesome. No problems or blemishes I can find. The undercarriage is rust free, everything works and it made the 1,800 mile trip home flawlessly.

The Powerboost performs just as good as my 2021 did. Averaged 22.2 mpg from Granger, Iowa to Tacoma, WA, and that includes several mountain passes. I didn't do 80mph through Montana, though. I capped my speeds at 70-75. A few segments I'd kept it to 65 (when the speed limit was 65), and was getting over 25mpg on the trip computer. This was one of the longer segments from Rapid City, SD to Butte, MT. There's some idle time in there for lunch and coffee stops...

Sounds like a perfect engine break in run @Aaron34 ! Glad to hear you didn't have all the rust issues I see from other posters about new trucks sometimes. I'm expecting my truck to arrive at Granger this week. Tracker updated to 4/8 - 21 arrival window today. You ended up getting the Farm Bureau rebate right? I sent Granger mine yesterday.

Yup, that Farm Bureau rebate is the easiest $480 I've ever made. Hope your delivery goes well!

The window sticker for my Super Duty arrived and much to my surprise, there were no removals/deletes! Maybe it's the lower volume of SD sales that keeps them from removing commodities like heated steering wheels and the advanced security pack. I think the higher trims are also getting the multi-contour seats.

Anyways, could one of you Granger customers give me the laydown on their 8-step process and how many days prior to delivery when each step should occur, please?

I think it was about 1.5 weeks in total. It started when the tracker showed green circle for ship. It was a couple of days in-between emails.

Did your truck arrive then?

The F-150 arrived and I told the dealer (not Granger) I wasn’t taking it and they gave my deposit back with no problems. The F-250 goes into production next week and I ordered that one through Granger.

Granger found it. Never heard anything back from Ford. Tracker still shows ship with green circle.

Glad to hear you're getting a truck with no deletes! I wish the F150's would come like that.

As FTMS mentioned, once the truck showed shipped, Granger reached out with all the details on how the 8 step process works. I got through step 4 before the truck showed up (early) at Granger. At that point, once they were finished with the PDI, finance reached out to me and we completed the rest of the process over the phone.

Super efficient way of doing things. They got it dialed in.

Good luck with the new truck! Hope it ships quick!

Finished paperwork while sitting in airport heading to Granger. What a well run outfit.

Talked to Chip today and he said they expect my truck to arrive by the 20th. Ford emailed with a window of 4/11-17 so all signs point to soon!
