Ford Trucks Thread WAS:EcoBoost Thread

[B.Spilner]

Truck feels alot bigger then the previous gen. Wife noticing it too, maybe the hood is bigger? Or more boxy.

Also tinted the front windows today....

My truck is being built at a plant with chip / some sort of electronic delay. No eta because of that.

Slightly jealous of other trucks showing up when mine should of originally landed start of March.

Oh well

My oh my

I've not been sure of the front end on them, but the flame blue works so well!

Im starting to see these lots now and i like how the LED ring follows into the fog lights.

Blue looks so good! Coworker of mine picks his up tomorrow, showed him that picture and he's stoked to get it. He was on the fence about the color on this gen.

Are you getting a super duty?

[brucebanner]

@cyra1ax nope, ordered a F150. Just shitty luck of the draw on which plant it's getting built at. They must build certain colors at certain factories because I know of 4 (mine included) lead foot greys that are delayed and all ordered within a week of another.

Crazy. The wife's was Lead Foot and all went according to plan. Should be at the dealer end of the week. Did you have anything outside the reg 502A package...?

[brucebanner]

Nope, 502a with upgraded sound, power boards and roof.

The other 3 trucks are all have roughly the same options give or take, I can't exactly recall their builds.

Do you have a link to the article? The only plant that I read had cuts was the Kentucky plant for Super Duties, the articles I read just said the F150 in general was going to be built without certain modules, and didn't specify which plant.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Mine was apparently build at the Kansas plant.

I guess good news for me that I had none of those 3 options, lol. Just the FX4/20s combo & the drop-in liner.

Don't have a link, 1 of the 4 trucks I mentioned earlier is a friends truck and he works for Ford. So that's where all my updates for my truck are coming from.

[littledan]

Don't quote me 100% but I believe the power boards was a constrained item so that might be causing the delay. Also, certain colours do force production at a certain plant. I think guard was one of them. I would have picked guard or antimatter blue but I don't think either was avail on the sport package.

Yup, I wanted Antimatter Blue as well but we couldn't get it with the Sport, only with the Chrome package. Stupid part is that you can get Antimatter Blue with painted bumpers on the Platinum trim.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

This is why velocity blue is best. Cause I could still get the sport package.

Yeah, it kinda does the Caddy thing at night & looks like one light - Looks pretty good. The old style grille without the bars and the new lights/bumper would be the ideal package.

Just read an article that confirms what your friend was saying.
Dearborn plant is down until Sunday. KC plant is unaffected(thankfully).

Not a truck person but the cheap Asian in me want to pick one up. Are they really going for this cheap or is this like a bait and switch?
