How long was your truck sitting on the Granger lot? I only ask because I saw one just like yours that I thought was mine- identical to what I ordered- until I noticed the tow mirrors and retractable running boards . I picked mine up almost a month ago:

Man, that Rapid Red looks awesome! Picking mine up in less than a week!

Mine got there on Tuesday and there were 2 others that looked similar.

Guess I shouldn't have made that joke about hobos trashing my truck. It's still "in transit". Can't get any more details on it than that. Hopefully sometime next week!

I'm passing through Des Moines on May 1st and was really hoping this was going to happen. Looks like it might! Haven't heard from Granger yet so it must have just hit the lot this afternoon.

Nice! Finally! Hope the delivery goes smooth for you!

Picking it up tomorrow but snuck over and found it on the lot. Couldn't wait.

What engine and rear diff is that?

My 2015 SCREW 5.0 with 6.5' bed and 3.31 gear would get close to 24 empty on the highway and 21-22 loaded down with my big butt, wife and 2 kids and a bed packed full of gear, in some cases approaching 1000 pounds in the bed. At least until we hit the mountains. But i never averaged less than 19 on a trip, highway mileage.

My truck was a 4x2, but I wouldn't think it would be that far off.

I've got a'23 on order right now, exact same truck except it's 4x4, 3.31 diff too, and I hope the fuel economy doesn't tank that bad.

My 21 Supercrew, 4x4, 6.5 bed has the 3.5 EB with 3.55 and the combined MPG is about 18.5. All highway and rural driving.

Well, the 5.0 is known to get better mileage than the 3.5 EB, especially extended highway driving, I guess I will find out when I get my truck. Supposedly it's "going into production" on June 5.

I knew I would be taking a hit in the MPG department when I went to 4x4, but wasn't sure it would be that bad.

I mean I guess anything about 18 is still ok. Prior to my 2015 I never got anywhere near that in a truck, and I've had 4 F150's and 2 Rangers over the years.

I have an F-250 with the 7.3l gas waiting to ship so I won't be seeing anything close to those numbers for a while.

Those that used Granger Ford, my truck arrived at Granger on 5/30. Curious how long it took finance to contact you after it reached Granger.

They say a couple days but I was impatient and reached out to them since I was going to be in Des Moines.
