Hello old friends, 19 months, no Truck, no VIN, lol. Ford keeps sending the old, “We’re just as frustrated as you” bullshit email, lol. The call center has the same clueless response. I am now dealing directly with a Ford rep. I canceled with Granger last year, but kept in contact with Ford...
Just wanted to jump on and say my truck still doesn’t have a VIN, ordered 9/8/21. Got my deposit back from Granger in June, Ford still sends me updates as Granger kept it on order, lol!
Best of luck to the holdouts!
I would have gotten another Lariat with BAP at this point. I ordered a Plati for the seats. I was told lumbar support and massaging bladders delete…. So it would be degraded Platinum seats, lol, here’s $300 bucks and your COVID truck, get fucked, lol….
I just declined to sign the bill change for the contour seat delete, preference I’ve already deleted multiple items, and I refuse to change my platinum to not be a platinum as I ordered. I just got back from overseas, so I’m gonna give them a call tomorrow and chat with them. It’s just a very...
My 08 KR with triple the mileage seats are in better condition then my 19 Lariat seats. My 20 Recaro Raptor seats were by far the best I’ve ever had. About $4500 for a full set of OEM Platinum seats fyi.
Leather is a different quality, better lumbar support and adjustment, and the massaging features. We have a 2019 Lariat with leather and the new Platinum seats are a lot more comfortable, why we went that route on the new truck. We spend a lot of time in those seats. The disappointment...
Got the seat delete email, unfortunately for me that seals the deal after almost 9 months waiting with no VIN. I’ll call Monday and get the truck canceled and demand my deposit back. I didn’t order a Platinum to get shitty lariat seats in it, otherwise I would have ordered a lariat… What a...
The only reason I went Platinum is the seats, and I couldn’t get a limited in a Tremor. The seats are a lot more comfortable, and we travel almost fulltime. I would have paid $$$ extra for a BAP Platinum, lol! I debated for a long time to go a Lariat with BAP. Again, Ford is a shit show...
My Denali will be here on the 18th, so my Ford give a Fuck factor went away. 8 months no VIN is complete bullshit, no way to explain that away. I’m gonna keep it on order, if it gets built I’ll see which one I like more, if it doesn’t they can refund me my money. Granger’s nice folks, polite...
I trust the dealership I went through, I just don’t have much faith in Ford right now unfortunately. If I hit the 12 month mark (September) with no VIN, I’m gonna request they roll it to a MY23.
There with ya…. Nothing today as expected, I didn’t see any Platinum’s scheduled, even knowing some Priority 01’s... I’ll probably be looking about the 12 month mark now for delivery, again, if it gets scheduled.
Unfortunately, I’m afraid that’s the case for Platinum and limited builds. There is a seat production “commodity” issue from what Ford told me yesterday. I’m hoping I get proven wrong, but don’t have faith.
My 2020 leadfoot with 25k on it went back to the same dealer I bought it from for $4500 over what I paid. I could probably have gotten more if I still had it. I miss that truck…😭 should have held Onto it.
You’re going to loose 15-20% payload with the Deavers, so your ass end will sag more, but ride will be Cushy! Your pin weight isn’t to high, so timbrens should be just fine for you. I’ve always ran airbags, they make a huge difference, but really like the ease of the sumo’s or timbrens.
I wanted a limited, you can order with the locking diffs, and was going to do a Carli suspension, build it out like a high end Tremor. Didn’t like the Admiral Blue interior, didn’t look right…. If they had left the gray/black trim color I would have gotten one for sure.
I wanted a Lariat BAP...
He mentioned low blinker fluid would cause death wobble, so they don’t want to risk a recall…. Good news is you can get your EV lightning to and from the repair shop on 1 charge now!
