It is required due to the 37 being a different model truck. One of the Ford engineers discussed it in one of the videos released after the 3rd Gen was announced. For EPA purposes, the 37 is a different model, it has different fuel efficiencies shown on the Monroney sticker.
If your truck isn't in production for 2 or more months, then you really miss out on the Gen3 experience.
For the record, mine was in production for 2 months, then sat another 6 weeks awaiting shipping.
Where I live, it's not much of a concern. However, if I go to DFW, Austin, Houston, or especially San Antonio, the truck can be in Mexico before you know it's gone.
Give the dealer this TSB, it's easy to check and honestly, since this has been an issue for 7 years across many Ford vehicles, they should have had a decent guess on what it is.

I would worry about dragging the cover over dirt and dust and scratching the truck more than I'd worry about the sun. Use a good coating or similar that has some UV protection and call it a day.
That's what I feared. I don't know if it's worth keeping my appointment. @Buster mine has only gone out twice. Once was after driving about 60 minutes, the other was after 90 minutes or so. I've got 4,000 miles on the truck now, so it happens every 2,000 miles or so. I can pretty well...
What did the dealer find? I've got an appointment for the end of the month, but I'd like to be able to point them in the right direction instead of the dealer keeping it for 3 or 4 days, then tell me they can't replicate. Of course they can't replicate it, it's happened twice in 6 months. The...
I've got an unopened back drivers side and front passenger side. The ones on my truck were scuffed when I picked it up, so new ones were ordered. I was able to buff out the originals, so I've got spares.
Please post what they found/did. I have mine scheduled for the end of August. BTW, 98 would have been nice compared to when mine went out. Also, it was in south Dallas, not exactly the part of town I wanted to park the truck for a few minutes waiting for it to correct itself. I wasn't...
Happened to me for the second time today. It will be going into service later this week. The first time it happened was about 2 months ago. It has only happened on trips over 80 miles, then it doesn't do it consistently.
Fortunately, it was a pleasant 107 when it took a dump on me...
I know Mercedes dropped several models from the US market. Just couldn't get the parts to make it worth trying to sell here. I think the Euro companies are worse than trying to buy American.
I've also read that Toyota keeps dropping their production targets for the year. Toyota was in great...
