I got my VIN today. Ordered 11/21. I don't really have any info other than possible build early January. It does not work on Cotusb. Is that normal at first. I believe its still in Order processing, so that probably has something to do with it. Very nice truck Texas boy.

We both have similar builds and I believe they'll be built on Dec 20th. I guess we'll know when we get the window sticker.

Thanks for everyone's help on here and hope you all get your trucks very soon!







CONGRATULATIONS TexasBoy and welcome to the Platinum Club! Sorry it took so long for yours to arrive and I wish Shawn would get hers too! Love the WHITE TC and it looks just like mine! My Jeep Wrangler is also white but usually covered in mud or dirt.

Put in a 2" RC level with Toyo AT2's 275/65/20 on mine but dark when I got home. Pictures tomorrow.

...so December incentives... I got the standard $500 bucks, plus on Dec 2nd I heard something about no payments till March 2016. I picked up the truck on Dec 1st, so I have no idea what that was about and wasn't about to go back and screw around with my dealer over something petty. Everything on the truck works great, even the seat backs cool, which was a bit of shock as I was expecting that to not work.

The only real problem I had was that there was a small scratch on the hood. The dealer offered to send it to their repair shop and have it fixed or to cut me a check for $250 bucks and let me get it taken care of myself. I chose the latter as I know someone who does good work and can easily take care of it.

All and all I LOVE it and it was totally worth the wait. Sorry no pictures yet, it has been dark, cold and rainy so the ole girl isn't feeling very photogenic. I've got to take some time and get a coat of wax on it before the snow hits next week so as soon as I do I'll snap a pic or two and post.

The good thing is that I still haven't raked it against the side or center support beam of the garage as I shoehorn it in every night next to my wife's Camry, so that's a plus. Thank the Ford gods for 360 view.

Oh and the wait for Synch 3 was definitely worth it as well. It is a night and day difference between it and Touch. ...and the voice command stuff is very cool and IMO works very well.

... and Homelink works about as well as everyone who has a 15 claimed. It has a range for me of about 3 feet from my garage door. Time to wire up an extension antenna this weekend.

Glad you're happy with the new KR, Quick! Amazing trucks for sure! Please let me know how the extension antenna for Homelink works and what you did to solve the range issue.

For those who are interested...

My original order is now finally awaiting shipment, with and ETA still pending. Not that I care anymore since I bought a different one, but still interesting nonetheless.

Yours is the chrome package though. I would expect to see yours build before mine. The Lariat sport package is J2 which doesn't start production until 1/4/16.

Yeah, you're right. I didn't see that you have the sport package

Thanks Coaster! Looking forward to seeing your pics. I am either going with a 2.25" level or Boss coil overs. Can't decide yet. Also thinking about that tire size and the 285/65/20. I talked to Alex at F150 lifts yesterday for quite awhile and I think he talked me into the later. His truck has 35s, 2" rear block, and a tuner on the 3.5 Eco. He said mpg is 15-18, tons of power, and just awesome to drive. Plus he has all those mountains and elevation changes to contend with so that's great to hear. That was my biggest concern was power drain and mpg. Probably order today before I head out to happy hour.
