2023 F150 Tremor
Currently leaning towards this cover and I think my front wheel should be below to top of bed and the cover if needed, but my dual-sport is pretty big and I'd more than likely ride it to wherever I'm going! Last trip was Telluride and getting my ass kicked on Ophir Pass!

Nice. I've been looking the BAK Flip one. Has like 3 hard sections that fold.

On the DS bike front, what do you have? I have a Honda CRF250L and love it, even though I am a large (fat) human. It's a blast. I typically take 3 overnight trips a year. Two years ago we did Colorado...trucked the bikes out, but then lived off the bikes (hotel camping) for 8 days. We took in a lot of passes, but weather and being sick prevented me from doing Ophir.

Are you on Adv Rider?

08182022: Ordered Truck
08182022: Received "Order Confirmed" email from Ford
10022022: Received email from Ford, basically saying, it's been a while, but we will give updates at least every 45 days.
10052022: Received email from dealer that said Heated Steering Wheel & Heated Mirrors are Removed
10102022: Received emial from dealer that said Heated Mirrors are back
10132022: Received "Scheduled For Production" email from Ford. Week of 11/21/2022
11182022: Noticed @ Ford Tracker, now shows "In Production", and Window Sticker is present
12012022: Ford Tracker now shows "Built" (with a date of 11/30/2022 under it).
12022022: Received email from Ford that says that its been built and "Our current estimate for delivery to Granger Motors, Inc. is between Dec 11, and Dec 17.
12272022: Received email from Ford that says "To ensure your complete satisfaction, we will require additional time before your 2023 F-150 Tremor is delivered...", and the updated estimated delivery date is now between Dec 23 and Dec 29.
12302022: I got an email from the Dealer. She was responding to my questions about the Ford email and the whole biz about ensuring complete satisfaction. She didn't have any answers on that front, but she did share what she's seeing on her end....which she is now seeing an estimated ship date of Jan 1-7. She had some more detials, so maybe this is more of a "real" date now? The previous statuses where also "Awaiting Shipment" and the secondary status was "Released". Now the seconday status says "Origin Received". Also, the previous "Vehicle Location" was very general, and now a Ramp number is listed.
01062023: Emailed my Dealer today to see if she was seeing any update. She got back right away, and let me know what she was seeing....and updated ETA of Jan 9-15. On my 4th ETA now.
01102023: Received email from Ford, like the one on 12302022, with ETA of Jan 9-15.
01162023: Emailed Dealer for an update, reply is that ETA is now Jan 13-19
01232023: Emailed Dealer for an update, reply is that ETA is now Jan 21-27...for my 6th ETA
01262023: Received email from Ford that my truck has shipped, and the new ETA is now Jan 24-30.
01302023: Received the "Financing" email from my dealer today, who also confirmed that my ETA is now Jan 28 - Feb 3 for my 8th ETA.
02062023: Received email from Dealer with VVR. Looks truck arrived in Kansas City (Ramp 6P) on Feb 1. New ETA is Feb 4 - Feb 10. So the VVR is different from the Ford Tracker site, which has a range of Feb 1 - Feb 14.
02082023: My daily (at least) check of the Ford Tracking site now shows Feb 4 - Feb 17. I'm really over this whole thing at the moment. A truck completed on Nov 30, shouldn't take over two months to get shipped 600 miles. Did we as a society/economy peak in 2019 and this is just as good as it's going to get?

Waiting sucks for sure. Glad it’s finally ending for you. I ordered 2 in Jan 2021, a Star White Platinum BAP and Antimatter Platinum BAP. Both just arrived at the dealerships. After one plus year of waiting I still don’t know which color I want.

Yup. That's the two colors that I struggled with....AMB and White. When you order a BAP Platinum, do they do something with the tailgate panel?

I think I want to see this truck about as much as Walter. Sooooo many ridiculous updates.

Fingers crossed we see a happy Walter with pictures soon.

I had a 2013 r1200 GSA for years, then with the good resale market sold it last spring and bought a new one. At times I'd like something around a 400, but I also like to ride it out to sites and it just eats up miles. Not near as nimble as yours in the single track, but surprisingly nimble for it's girth!

Another good option for tonneau covers is https://truxedo.com/sentry/2022/ford/f-150

I have this one on my 22 Tremor. One of the nice features is the quick release feature being able to remove the cover if you need the space in your bed.
As in completely remove it from the truck? The rolled top, not the rails, correct?

That's a nice feature!

Yes, you can roll the top up, put the straps on it and remove it leaving the rails in place. Another thing I really like about this cover is when you roll it back to latch it latches really easy. especially compared to others I've used in the past.

Nope.

My sales rep sent these pics as "pre-delivery" inspection pics. They found some small scratches that didn't really show up on the camera. The scratches are only in one area...the rear passenger fender flair. She sent me the pic of them, but I coudn't even see them. I'm not worried about them, and she said they will be fixed by tomorrow.

She said that finance could still take a week or so to finalize everything for me, and it would be their department that actually schedules the delivery. So I'm thinking/hoping that sometime next week will be the day. In an earlier email, I was told that they do deliveries Mon-Fri 9am to 4pm., so unfortunately, a Saturday pick up isn't an option.

Finally, I'm not sure how I'm getting out there. I checked SWA, and thought they would be great going out of Midway to Des Moines, but nothing is direct. The prices are great, but most were like a 8-9 hour deal from departure time to arrival time....seems like you first have to go Denver and have a long layover. Doing a trade in is still up in the air as well, so I might just drive out.
