Awesome!!

Congratulations!!

Looks like avalanche. What are your thoughts of it in person on the truck?

I love the avalanche color. In the right light it has a battleship grey appearance. At night it looks almost white.

I ordered mid-July but I must have gotten lucky because I was able to keep the carbon fiber and the beadlocks.

I haven't been able to drive it much; yesterday was rain and sleet and a complete lack of traction.

The exhaust is muted when you're in neutral and reving, but it gets loud under load and sounds quite good.

Overall, compared to my to my 2013 Raptor, it's faster, louder, and seems a little stiffer.

The transmission shifting is going to take some getting used to... it jumps and down through the gears constantly.

Okay so far...

I wonder how much of the actual sound is exhaust VS the Sony exhaust.

All sounds great except for the transmission searching issue. I'm sure there well be a few updates that end up sorting that out.

I'm excited to see the avalanche in color.

Didn't you have one of the earliest ETA's (originally)?

Any updates? Or are you just sane and patiently await for the call from your dealership?

Checked yesterday and still waiting to ship. I contacted the dealer they said its origin is with jack cooper a trucking company but not eta. Also contacted thru facebook messenger and they said waiting to start transportation process. no eta as of 12/12/16 5:30pm.
built 10/13

Got confirmation from my dealer and the Ford Rep that Beadlocks will hold up the order so I ditched them. Hoping my dry spell ends and I get scheduled finally. Ordered July 26....ugh!

I didn't order the tailgate applique for my Oxford white SCREW because I didn't think it added anything to the looks for the money, but I really like the way it blends in and compliments a Magnetic colored truck. Nice looking truck!!! Congratulations!!!
