    Dent repair tools and paint. He showed me the back side thru the cavity in the shell to point out how they shaped it back to normal contour on the flip side of sheet and touched up inside with paint and fluid film.

    Just an update to share on dent... PDR couldn't help and most wouldn't due to aluminum and strength of such. One guy came out and started but wouldn't triumph with any repair. I even went in after PDR guy and used pressing tools and messed it up good with paint cracks and further uneven bulges...

    Not cool

    At first told $1,000 to repair and paint... until they realized it was aluminum. Said the aluminum can't be manipulated and repaired. Need a new gate. Waiting for estimate. My research found a tailgate shell that runs $475 which requires swapping everything over if possible, paint, line-x touch...

    I backed into a trimmed branch from a tree that stuck out into the space I was lining up on both sides.

    Liars!? This the norm...

    Has anyone done a master reset? If so is there other resets? If I am correct, a reset wipes out stored data, phone info, etc. Not sure about seat, R button memory saves. So I brought my 22 truck in today by appt. for display quirks... buzzing sound coming from BO speaker randomly, when going...

    Last update from me on this build week thread. My original priority 1 order finally arrived at dealer according to tracker. I moved on 7 weeks ago with a different vehicle. But figured I would drop an update. This unit shipped 137 days ago... almost 20 weeks later it seems it arrived. Dealer now...

    4 months without any update for 2023 35 gen3. who else?

    Zone or Regional manager grants allocations to dealers for specialty vehicles within their zone based on a formula. They can be limited and/or constrained also as to what can be available in the build to that dealer. The scheduling manager then will schedule a build week against an allocation...

    There she is... your rig and in the driveway too. Nice to be home, eh?! I love the truck! For me its a slow burn right now... only 200 miles after a week. Looking for adventure soon. Funny thing is the original truck I ordered is still in railyard (105 days/15 weeks)... so this makes it so much...

    Finally got a truck (not what I ordered) after 98 days of waiting! Long awaited shout-out to Justin @Pacific Wheel for the wheel hookup last fall. Budget set of 17x9 - 0 offset Vision Flow 351 Satin Black. Paired with Yokohoma Geolander Mt 35x12.50x17.

    IMO... No need to break it in per se' as under the hood it is designed to be very modern and responds well to initial and ongoing RPM ranges. I usually watch the rpm range the first 500 to 1,000 miles, don't go to manual shifting... and give her good gas early a.m. or late p.m. when the tanks at...

    Congrats to you. Yeah I think the bedliner was a previous year constraint. That item didn't slow down any MY23 builds from being built, etc. that I know. Its all good though you'll be driving soon. I had the bedliner added to my 22 as well. I love my 22 Atlas Blue. This whole situation for me...

    Ford saying my vehicle was delivered but it never arrived to dealer

    I had a truck shipped on 10/27. I was told by both Ford and dealer that since I received a shipped email (10/27) that my first and initial ETA dates are solid. I trusted that and sold my truck on 11/1. My ordered truck made it to the railyard on 10/29. No Chip hold, no QC hold, no damage... no...

    It really is baffling how they can't respond to an inquiry of any nature as the person who ordered from them even if going to a dealership. But yeah... not sure if I will ever order from them again.

    Yeah... its not a fun time when you fall out of the norm in your order track. I did hit the yard tho. My son had a box lacrosse tourney 15 minutes from yard last weekend. I figured I'm here let me see if I can get anywhere in this live pursuit. I drove in yard and was met with like a tinted...

    Hey y'all I am no longer part of the 10/24/22 build week club. I strayed... because of 13 weeks of waiting and another 3 weeks before my next ETA still. I shipped 10/27... no hold, no QC, no damage, no shipping delay, no lost shipment. I tapped out. I bought an impersonal on the lot special...

    They released a code update to the tracker as it remained live. As a result it added things like additional status entries on the timeline (like 6 circles now instead of 5), along with things like green dots or possible other colored dots to signify status interpretation in the circle for that...

    I gave up two on the lot trucks. A third om the lot option came up... also over the wait, to an extent other options favored me, and went to buy recently... drove there made an offer in person and they wouldn't budge on $1,500 difference. The truck was 5,000 ADM plus fees and options putting me...

    Tough decision: Black 37 Raptor Available now vs wait for Anti matter blue

    Same deal here... been waiting 11 weeks for delivery. Have an opportunity to buy one right now. But it cost more. Tough decision... wait for your order or buy now knowing someone else will buy your truck the way you wanted.
