Thanks. I also noticed my dealer did not select the power running boards like I had asked him to. I will see if he can add it after the fact. I know some folks on here had luck having minor changes to their order after they received their VIN as long as it wasn't too close to the build date. Since I'm a little over 5 weeks out hopefully it's not that big of a deal.
Get them added back on ASAP, and get the DORA, like @wearenh said, so you have proof. You might want to do this in person at your dealership.
Unfortunately, the dealer I ordered from is not local to me. I've reached out to the salesman I've been dealing with and followed up with an email so hopefully I'll hear from him soon and hopefully it's not a big deal to add it after the fact especially since I don't have a window sticker yet. Thanks for the help everyone.
I had the same thing happen, and I was looking for that the whole time. It's one of two deal-breakers for me (no moon-roof was the other) and why I never considered anything but ordering. The stationary ones stick out too far and hit my knee getting in, and my normal mount has been into a raised 3/4 Dodge w/ 35's on it. My woman wanted the deployable running boards because that's a stretch for her. She actually fell out when I parked too far from the curb a few months back. I don't want a squeaky passenger seat on a new truck either.
Your guy has a problem. Go on the Ford build site, configure the truck, and when you get to the power running boards, click on the little "I" for more info. It will tell you plainly the power running boards are available on the tremor package with Platinum and King Ranch options. Print that. I have it saved as a pdf for when I pick up the truck because they tried the same noise on me. I say all this not digging chrome or the shiney tramp-stamp that comes across the tail gate on the platinum and KR. My intent was to paint match that when I get the truck.
Why? Power running boards are available as an option on the Lariat too, but they cost 995.
Glad to hear you got it resolved! Now I'm wondering if I should try and get my DORA like mentioned above. I have the preview order sheet but not sure if that is the preview of what gets sent to Ford or not. I think maybe it is more confusing on the Platinum and King Ranch for the salesmen though since those normally come with it and it gets removed for the Tremor boards instead.
she wanted the massaging seats too. I was over those in 20 seconds on the test drive, but maybe there's a little value in them on 9 hour drives, so it was a big picture thing
Get the DORA. The preview sheet may show the power running boards, but it’s not sent to Ford. Your dealership uses the preview as a cheat sheet to enter everything into the Ford order system. It’s too easy for them to mess up with the higher trim Tremors and power running boards.
That is annoying. My truck took 10 days to ship from Kentucky to Calgary Alberta. It shipped the day after it was built.
That's really annoying. They must need to get other orders built to add to the delivery route. When mine was being built I got an update at 7:03 one morning that my anticipated delivery date was 2 weeks away. At 4:30 the same dat I got notice it was in route to the dealership in Ohio with an anticipated delivery of 10:00PM that night. I picked it up the next afternoon. 4 weeks from order to pick up. It amazes me how long they are making some of you guys wait. I must have got lucky and picked a configuration they were queued up to run that week. Good luck. It can't be too much longer.
Was that this year? Happen to have the dates on that?
Yes this year. I ordered 5/31, adjusted my order 6/3, picked it up at the dealer on 6/28.
Thank you
You gotta upload pictures when you get it! Good luck.
