Where did you order from? Everything looks back ordered?

so If I do the cup holder, mediabin, and glove box, I should move the console.

I order about 6 months ago waiting on my KR. I ordered from OEMpartSource but I think they have closed down the business or web site. Any reputable dealer can get what you need.

I would remove the center console by removing two trim pieces on each side. One is a chrome piece. The other is a plastic brown pocket holder -after which you can gain access to four of the six screws, the other two are behind the front backseat floor board console area.
-**after which, the whole Console can be slid back once you remove two electronic connectors in the front sides.
this is definitely the most easiest way to put in the ambient, lighting, cupholders, media bin light and run your harnesses to the glove box area.

That is correct. I was told it might be about 6 weeks. Nonetheless, they are coming.

Has anyone checked their New KR windshield only to find “Crystal clear micro crud specks” from possibly the manufacturer?

My KR is cleaned and spotless BUT if I really look through the windshield at a certain time of the day with the sun, it looks like overspray or something and I’ve tried to get it off. Overtime it’ll get specs or micro chips,…Maybe I’m just OCD/ overly zealous about it,
—
but what can I use to SAFELY super clean the windshield of all contaminants??

Hot soapy, Dawn dishwashing liquid or even alcohol will not clean that junk off.
Maybe it’s the overspray of the turtle wax (Graphene Spray) I used after my first wash and detailing ?

Try some 0000 steel wool. You don't need any liquid, use it dry. Quad-aught is so fine it doesn't scratch, but polishes. It will take several minutes to polish the entire windshield. You should be able to feel how slick the windshield is once you are done polishing. Finish up with a treatment of Rain-X and you should be good!
And this idea is not mine, but stolen (borrowed?) from another F150 owner.

Well, after using goof off and Windex for several hours, the windows are 80% cleaner, but I figured out what it was on the windows,(( clearcoat Line-x Overspray)).
It’s all over the top pano-roof, it cascaded down on all the windows and windshield and feathered itself on my front hood.
So I’m taking it Tuesday to see what they’re gonna do for me – what a mess.

Hmmmmm
I know that it should be their problem to fix. But unless they are going to send the truck to a detail/paint correction expert, I don't know that I would let them try to fix it.

Picked up King Ranch standard with Powerboost today. 2WD, 7.2KW, 360 Assist and camera.
My first real truck- lots of Suburbans.
I am pleased.
Pleasant surprise- the Forward Sensing System was included (I did not get 360 Active which my order guide said was required). Also, the Advanced Security pack made the cut (I have read of recent exclusions)
I wish everyone the best and Happy New Year!

Was the security removal on your window sticker?

No.
I think I read some recent people got stickers for pending/new builds with expected Advanced Security absent.

Well, that rather sucks. I have a KR that was ordered 11/16 and is on a rail car now. BUT my window sticker has the Advanced Security deleted. That didn't bother me that much, but the deleted Heated Steering Wheel does.

In Louisiana, we don’t need heated steering wheels. Heated seats come in handy as we never dress appropriately for the cold.

And you define as "cold" somewhere around, what, 60 degrees or so?

Just got my King Ranch and had it detailed and ceramic coated. Man that antimatter blue looks fantastic in the sun!
