I flew in yesterday to Iowa, only a 45 minute flight from STL. Signed one paper at Granger (odometer disclosure). Ford really moved this truck around, it had 83 miles on it. I met Chip the salesman who walked me through the truck. Nicest guy you will ever meet. I spent maybe 20-30 minutes max there. Then started my journey back home (just 6.5 hours back).

The truck is amazing. So many features compared to my little 01 Chevy S10. I was blown away. It was a very euphoric time back home. I tried out the adaptive cruise control with lane centering. IMO there is no point in bluecruise. The truck drove for me with no issues at all. I can not imagine ever having “hands free” driving, just seems too risky.

About 2 hours from home we came up on a bad bad wreck. I got first hand what the brakes were like, came up over a hill on the interstate with no idea cars were backed up. Idk how to explain it but the brakes are perfect. We decided to detour with other cars on a gravel back road for about 10 minutes which brought us out right by the accident. Super lucky there. Truck did great. It got a workout with snow, gravel, and straight pavement.

One last thing. For me, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the B&O unleashed sound system. It sounded great. I went corded iPhone with CarPlay. Chip made sure I had the surround feature on and the balance/fade was dragged just a little in line/behind the headrests. So you could hear out of them. For having that one sub (10inch?) it hit good.

I realized I was driving in normal mode and not eco really far into the trip. I think I averaged 16/17mpg. Drove 60-75 whole way home.

Here it is at a gas station in Iowa (bad pic I know).

Yours is a similar story to mine. Ordered in July and went into production the same week as yours except mine was marked as "built" on 10/26. It finally shipped 2/15. Kept showing "GSP and volume delay" on the VVR up until it shipped

Thanks man! Chip was really nice. Granger rocks! 100% satisfied. Quick and painless is an understatement.
Exactly my experience as well. Not one thing I would change.
