Nice truck!
So was it the head liner that delayed it for basically a month after being built?
I have NO idea at all.
Because I had pretty much ALL of the available options I hit every delay that has come up since mid december.

Nice truck! I ordered my Rapid Red Platinum Tuesday I hope I don't have to wait that long. Salesman told me 3-4 months but then said "to be perfectly honest we don't know how long it will take."

My guess is that you will NOT have to wait 6+ months like some of us early adopters did.
Production IS coming up to speed now and it kinda seems like they are over most of the speed bumps now.

Congratulations, really good looking color. I’ve had red for 15 years but went with SQ this time.
I want to see what she looks like when she has been CLEANED and then CERAMIC COATED!!!

Hey congrats man! Finally the last several of us OG's are getting our trucks. I just got mine today after 181 days! (after my original stock order)

Is that the first red platinum? I don't remember anyone taking one home.

Looks beautiful, and I’m really excited for you! Looking forward to seeing it after your lift.

How long did it take to get from Dearborn to Rexburg?

My truck was supposed to come in with yours - same dealership, eta was this week. I’m at 164 days and counting, and my truck has been stuck “in production” for a month now. No idea why or when it might be ready for shipment. Crazy frustrating.

I wonder who currently holds the dubious honor of longest wait for their truck.

Does feel like all of us Old Timers are all getting our trucks at long last.

Ya, doesn't seem like we have seen many RED trucks at all on the forum this year.

it took several weeks to get here from production with no updates in between.
Hopefully Woody has the truck IN the shop now getting her all cleaned up for me!

Great looking truck. It is good to see some pictures of the Rapid Red. I am still waiting for my Rapid Red Platinum Powerboost FX4 ordered in November. It was built in Jan but still hasn‘t shipped. Looking forward to more pictures. Enjoy your truck.

Congrats!! Real men use 6.5 foot beds... I'm in the same boat ordered a loaded XLT now that I'm seeing it's a 63k window sticker I'm looking at a Smoked Quartz Platty with 6.5 foot bed for only 12k more with every bell and whistle

I prefer being a fake man and parking in my garage so I don't pay fines imposed by our HOA or subject my $70k truck to the elements. :(
