2024 Initial Thoughts

Both of my Lightnings (2000 and 2003) had decent stereos, once I added a pair of 12's in a box behind the seat and swapped the door speakers out.

2.2 surround!!

Did anyone notice the 24s drive 10x better than the 23? Even the steering is different.

I completely agree, one of the first things I noticed was the steering feel. I had a 2022 Gen3 with 8k miles that I traded in for my 2024. So a low mileage truck and the steering is noticeably smoother and lighter feeling on my 24’ then the 22’. Suspension feels smoother too.

Hi gang, I just picked up a new March build 801A shelter green. Two things that feel odd and want to check with you all before going to the dealer: 1) at low speeds I hear a metal clink middle of the truck, like I’m putting tension on the chassis or bed at low speeds. 2) the footwell in the back seat behind the driver has a hump like a bolt is sticking out.

Under the carpet on the rear driver side I found a plastic retainer under the carpet. I just popped the door sill trim and pulled it out. May be the same thing? Sounds exactly like you described.
