I have nothing but nice things to say about my dealer.
They tried to pull a couple things over my eyes, but I called them on it in a hurry.
They installed the Ford accessories before I picked up the truck.
My sales guy became a quarantine statistic after I paid for the truck, but before I picked it up.
2 or 3 different sales reps took care of me when I went to pick it up.
one guy explained that one accessory was not available yet but I would be notified when it is ( trailer brake controller-paid for)
Another rounded up all the books, keys and a coffee cup i accidently left at the last visit.
A third went and made up the temp plate, and brought the truck out for me, all warmed as well. He offered to help set up my phone, but that was not necessary. He also told me to come back up in a couple weeks when it warmed up a bit, and they would do a proper detail. It was just too damn cold out to give it a proper dealer prep.

im glad I had them put the floor liners in—snow everywhere here in SOUTH TEXAS.
53 feet from Mexico and maybe 200 feet from the equator and we have SNOW standing
Sounds like a great experience, very happy you got your new baby!

I recall seeing this in a YouTube video. ('Pretty sure it was for the 2020.) You drop the dead FOB into that hole underneath the cup-holder (coincidentally shown in the center of Louis' photo). In that location, the truck can sense the chip in the FOB, even though the FOB is dead, and the car will start.

I'll try to locate the video and post the link here.
Yeah that sucks. Sounds like some piss poor salesman. My truck was brought down from Muskegon. They did take the time to go through stuff with me. We sat in the garage for about 45 minutes to an hour.

goes along the lines of something said about Phoenix.
”Thirty miles from water, Thirty feet from Hell”

and yes, I can be in the next country faster than getting to the next state

My dealer showed me some things but not this. It's good to know what to do if your FOB battery fails.
