You owe me $50?. It was delivered today but my sales guy is out till Monday so no truck till Monday lol. I have to pull a few things off my 16 before I trade it so the weekend wait works out.

Joined the Platinum club last Friday! I had claimed a dealer ordered platinum that was SUPPOSED to arrive 6/12. Sure enough the end date shifted to 8/28 so I called my dealer to see what he could figure out. His system showed the same date and the truck was complete with no parts missing and no explanation why it wasn’t shipping. This was all last Thursday. He checks his system and shows 3 trucks sitting in the local rail yard just like mine except with sunroof added and they would be on his lot the next day. a few days and added accessories later, a platinum sits in my garage tonight.

Here's my window sticker. It's difficult to see because it's in the glovebox.

When I ordered it the dealer said it would take 6 to maybe 8 weeks to get here. To be safe I told myself to plan for 10 to 12 weeks, as of right now it has been 18 weeks and counting with no confirmed end insight.

Please add your comments and descriptions of your Platinum or other model...

@mmcconnell810,

Love that build! It’s almost exactly what I had ordered on Jan 2nd, a loaded Hybrid SQ Platty. I too was told 6-8 weeks. Mine was also built in early April. Mine too was delayed to Oct 31st.

I do admire your perseverance - especially in the wake of this latest 5-month delay.

I took a different course of action and went on an extensive search for one on a dealer lot. I was unable to find one East of the Mississippi, a SQ Hybrid Platty that was in shipment but hadn’t been spoken for yet. It doesn’t have the max recline or spray-in bed liner, but is still pretty close to my original order.

Right now, I am sitting in Logan A/P (Boston) waiting my flight to Charlotte NC to pick it up and drive home!

Get your truck? Can’t believe the long trek, but should be a good chance to get to know your truck very well on the ride home!

 

[Heavishot]

To anyone that’s been waiting far too long - Hang in there! This is a GREAT vehicle! The wait will be worth it.

@xtraman122 ,

Thank you! Yeah, it was about 930 miles altogether. A long trek but definitely worth it, as I got the truck I wanted and got to know the vehicle a lot better.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well it performed. Agile handling, great sightlines, and a smooth ride for a big truck. Being that this was during its first 1,000 miles, I went easy on her and tried to vary the speed and driving conditions. I got over 26 MPG overall in Normal Mode - and that included ~4 hours of Stop-and-go traffic!

The sync Apple Car Play and iHeart radio worked immediately. Lane-centering and intelligent cruise control were easily my favorite feature on the long trip. (My daughter's favorite was the massaging seats). Plenty of power when I needed it (especially in that nasty NJ and NYC traffic.)

I had to give her a foam cannon / hand wash this morning to wash off all the cicada bug guts that had swarmed I-95. Here she is in my driveway.

Next Steps:
Line-X Spray-in bed liner (Monday)
Order a Tonneau (RetraxPro)
Install the Mud Flaps, license plate holders, short antenna
Schedule the 2" Lift installation
Polish the paint
Apply a Ceramic Coating (CQ UK 2.0 + Gliss 2.0)
Apply ceramic protectants to the leather, the alcantera, glass, and plastic surfaces

Seriously, I couldn't be happier with it!

Nice trucks guys, but where’s your Sport Package?!!

Brought to you by the Lariat Lounge gang!! ???

Glad to hear it all worked out. Co-Pilot Assist is awesome, is was on my must-have list. So convenient for the highway. I’d say that and the stop auto-hold are two of my favorites so far. Seems like such a simple thing but it’s a lifesaver in stop and go traffic or at a drive-thru line.

Playing the whole EV Assist “game” is fun too, trying to keep it electric as much as possible to see what you can get for mileage. Got 37.5 MPG on my 8.4 mile ride to the gym this morning. Only 23.1 on the way back, but those still average out to 30 which is pretty damn good.

Great pics! That Ryanair 13" is the same one I had bought!

Next Steps (Updated):
Line-X Spray-in bed liner (Monday)
Order a Tonneau (RetraxPro); install
Install BedRug
Order Ford Wheel Well Liners; install
Install Ryanair 13" Antenna
Install the Mud Flaps
Install front and rear license plate holders (1 Clemson, 1 NC State)
Schedule the 2" Lift installation
Polish/Level the paint, as needed
Apply Ceramic Coating (CQ UK 2.0 + Gliss 2.0)
Apply Ceramic Protectants to the leather, the alcantera, glass, and plastic surfaces
Assess undercarriage rust; use Krylon and CC Marine (per this Forum) to eliminate it

Q1: I really like the look of your hood deflector. Is that directly from Ford or somewhere else? Link?
Q2: I am considering also getting a Console Vault - which one did you select? Link?

Thank you!

Congrats on the new truck! I have to admit after seeing your photos it seriously has me rethinking the agate black Platinum (still waiting) ? I’ve never actually seen an SQ in person but this looks great! I will also note the Platinum wheels are starting to grow on me. The stock Ford photos just don’t do it justice. Looks great on your truck!!
