GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

[Jeff-Ohio]

Good to know Im not alone haha. I have a black 07 Titan i bought new about 10 years ago now. Ive only owned black and white. But man Ive noticed myself looking at all black and white cars/trucks on the road while driving the past 2 days or so thinkin the white shows dirt real fast, then thinkin the black looks better in certain light and vice versa. One thing Ive taken into consideration, living in socal and making some trips to AZ, you need AC anything over 60 degrees in the sun. so you may save some MPG with white. Also, white may save on engine temps, i doubt as much to make more hp/better perf, but a few degrees most likely. i dunno...I dont think you cant go wrong either way. Both are sexy AF. Well see if I end up going back to black I guess

We have a lot in common. I have never owned any other color other than black or white. I now own a black 2011 Nissan Armada, my wife has a black 2012 Acura MDX, and my fun car is a 2006 white Corvette. For the cars/trucks that I know I will really care about and do not want to see any paint imperfections, I go with white and add black accessories for contrast. I think white can be kind of boring without black contrasting parts, but with them, you got a really nice looking truck. The new Raptor has just the right amount of black accents to make the white look great!!! While I like the black Raptor, many of the black accessories get lost in the mix and don't really stand out.

Nice man. I had a 97 white turbo Supra before I bought the truck. Yeah been thinkin more about it today, white with black rims I think you get the best of both worlds so I think Im staying where Im at. Now to add the orange accents or not. Pretty sure Im going to add those haha now that Im staying with white. I think it would look pretty good with these color selections.

My brother works at the Dearborn Plant. He said the problem is the motor mounts, they all have to be replaced.

Are the trucks being produced now good and ready to ship out immediately? Did he say how long it will take to fix the trucks that have already been produced?

Id like to think that given the effort to pull the engine and replace the mounts, Ford would have stopped production until those could be fixed. Id assume everything coming off the line now is good to go, it's those of us with early builds that need the rework, assuming this is the case. who knows..lol

Motor mounts? Really??? How did that happen after countless hours of road testing and the Baja 1000? This is starting to smell fishy.

Could be NVH. Baja folks don't care.

You don't have to pull the engine to replace engine mounts.
