So far, I have only been able to pipe with Waze audio thru CarPlay. No visual display.

Yea it sounds like the CarPlay api is private so it's up to Apple to work directly with Waze to make that happen - so not likely until Apple opens it up

don't think any manufacturer would ever tune for 91. i'm sure it's tuned for 93 but supports lower octanes (with progressively decreased performance).

Think I should run premium 91 non ethanol or 93 ethanol?

if i could get non-ethanol 91 i would buy it. my guess is you would get better mileage and performance than 93 E10.

Got my truck yesterday.

Drove it about 75 miles (that's less than Ford drove it before I got it).

Couple things I've noticed:
- You can definitely feel the tranny shifting, especially downshifting. I don't know that it's a bad thing but just more noticeable than the old 6 speed.
- Truck sound obviously is not a V8 but isn't bad because it'[s relatively quiet.
- Initial throttle tip in has some lag. Not as bad as my 13 but still some there. However once boost quickly ramps up the power is right there.
- Steering feels GREAT. I tried normal and sport. Sport makes the feel slightly heavier and very precise. I like that.
- Not really a fan of the sound system so far. I played with the sound settings trying to get a balance of treble, mid and bass that sounded good too me but have yet to find that setting. I had the Sony audio in my 13' and so far I think it sounded much better.

Truck is AWESOME!

Ok also these trucks are E-85 compatable

Glad to hear you finally got it Darin! Let's see some pics.

I'm with you, I love V8s as much as anyone, but this engine is awesome. My friend who runs some exotic sports cars took it for a burn in Baja mode and was grinning from ear to ear. It is much more responsive in Sport and Baja than standard mode.

Like so many others I didn't think the truck would EVER come. Actually came on my birthday yesterday which was pretty cool.

Sound isn't really as important to me anymore. I can get over that for performance and functionality. I want to listen to some sweet exhaust sound I'll go run my Saleen Parnelli Jones car. Ported heads, cammed and a stroker kit that car sounds pretty damn good.

Oops almost forgot. Didn't have time for any pictures yesterday and of course it's raining here today.

Congrats Darin. You have been an anchor of reasoning and sanity for many of us through this whole ordeal.
