Picked up my 2024 F250 7.3 King Ranch Tremor 01 Dec 2023 (ordered it on 05 Aug). Love it. Handles completely different than my 2016 6.7 Powerstroke.
--Issue: It did NOT have the power running boards I ordered. My sales guy, who is a superstar (Ray Johnson, Autonation Ford Margate FL) dug into it and found, "Running boards are not compatible with Java Leather interior." What? In the system build or anywhere else it doesn't mention that.
My intuition says Ford ran out of Powersteps so they slapped on the standard running boards so they could ship the truck out and get thier money.
I am 6'4" tall and it is a BIG step to get into the truck with the standard running boards. Obviously the lovely Mrs. D, at 5'4" tall, is not pleased with my new truck.
Ford gave me a $1000 rebate, but what I really want is for them to replace the running boards when they are available.
Anyone else have this issue?
