It's possible that cam clark being a larger dealer helped them find the last few bucks too. They get the big volume kickbacks from Ford too.

Sounds like the spec I'd go for. Post picks and payload when you get it
Which sales guy from Cam Clark did you end up going with? I'm sure you had a lot of PM's saying "use my guy". (Mine included haha)This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I did have recommendations for a lot of people. Three people told me to use Ed Wan, and I tried to, but he wouldn't even return my inquiries. So I ended up going through manager named Mike Sperian, and he got salesguy Chad Laverick to handle the back-and-forth. Chad was flawless, worked well by email and phone. An upstanding beyond member will be splitting that referral cash with me.
Shout-out to James MacDonald at Woodridge though. Another guy who was amazing at modern communication. He prefers text to email, but him and I worked well together and he would have closed the deal if he had the exact truck I needed. He worked incredibly hard to modify trucks already on order to my specs, and by god, he nearly did it. In the end, he just had a harder job because his dealership didn't have quite the right truck, and modifying it in the service department after delivery was a big job, so his hands were tied.
Sherwood, Marlbrough, Universal and other dealerships all were in the mix to locate the correct truck, but I'm picky as hell and they weren't able to help me.

The big tow mirrors are extremely, extremely popular.
CEL came on on my F150. P0172. Took it to Metro Ford. They did an oil change and recommended that the timing chains get replaced at the low, low cost of $3000. I replaced the manifold MAF sensor and cleaned the rest, CEL still on. Took it to Knibbe, couple of cylinders were misfiring, spark plugs had never been changed. Cost about $500. They told me they cleared the KAM, but I don't think they drained it quite enough as the CEL went immediately back on. Replaced the PCV valve - there was no way it was able to close properly with the amount of caked-on oil on it. Reset the KAM for sure. Fuel trim levels swung 50% at idle (from +25% to -25%) on bank 1. Code hasn't come back since, there's been 8 drive cycles. ODBII tool is sure nice to have.
Also got the transmission shift points to where I like them. Previous owner liked to accelerate faster than I liked.

Congrats on finding the truck you wanted! The 3.5 Eb and pano were both options i didnt want after reading the forums but after driving a 3.5 EB with pano there was no way i could do without haha. The EB is a beast of a motor but after having the cams done once already and them making the noise again now im not sure what to think. Thankfully i still have warranty but getting them done twice all within 65k kms is not leaving me that warm and fuzzy feeling about not having to do it again. I dont regret the pano at all as i use it all the time and even when its not open i leave the shade open which makes it more spacious feeling, i just hope im not doing the pano repair because now im out of warranty.

Sounds exactly like the one I spec'd out through Marlborough a few months ago. Almost pulled the trigger and they decided to keep looking used.

I have already decided, My next truck will be in 2022. I really want the new F150 hybrid setup with the 7200 watt genny built in. I would do 2021, but gonna let the first year bugs get worked out first.

Ed is probably the laziest sales person I've ever dealt with but he will just give you the money right off the bat which is why i think he comes so highly recommended.

Although you're right. He really is probably too chill. I am actually surprised he has stuck it out in Airdrie for so long. Sales Managers usually get tired of people there who do that, although Im not in the industry so don't know specifics.

You have to either call him or just go in and see him. He is really busy but he's also old been there 27 years I think and hasn't really adapted with the times.

Congrats ES
Are you planning on getting a extended warranty? The timing sets in the 2.7 and 3.5 are still a problem from what I’ve read.
Yes but apparently the timing chain may not be covered under warranty or is very easy to explain away. Like the plugs and phasors in the 5.4.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
