No issues at all so far. Love the truck. Drove it back Monday after running around Pheonix all weekend for my kids hockey games. Radar assist cruise is awesome!

Done so far:
Husky x-acts
Stubby antenna
Bedrug bedmate and tailgate mat
Removed the fx4 stickers
Mounted the radar detector on the rear view
Pro grip phone holder

Waiting on back ordered Icon stage 2
And Fuel Savage wheels / 285/65/20 KO2s

Was wondering how you made out my friend? looks like you finally got yours too and had a chance to make it your own. I have to say I don't mind driving this thing anywhere. So now that most of us have our trucks what the hell are we gonna do now. I can't surf internet for truck stuff cuz I bought everything I can. LOL Guess we just cruze and enjoy life.

Glad you finally got yours all straightened out!

Have icon set up, wheels, tires and a bak flip F1 to put on yet but definitely enjoying it.

Dealer turned off the fake engine noise for me when I picked it up nice quiet ride. Cruised back from PHX at 76-95 and it was so smooth and quiet. Of course I'm coming from an 11 year old diesel so anything would be quiet to me!

Congrats on finally getting A truck. Obviously not the exact one you ordered but still a sweet setup either way!! Keep us posted with your build. Looking forward to seeing the icon setup with your new wheels.

Well, after all of my reading of this forum I decided to make a change to my order (it's a Lariat sport so the dealer was able to make the change no problem). I originally ordered with a 3.31 ratio, but decided I'd just go ahead and get the 3.55 locking since I'm getting a 3.5 Eco. Hope you all are right about it being the way to go!

This is truly one of the biggest perks about what I do, and I look forward to working with a new crop of proud owners who are now anxiously awaiting their trucks just as you were.

Now that you're officially part of the family, be sure to browse Ford Owner for tons of helpful information and advice about the newest additions to your garage: http://owner.ford.com/ And, as always, feel free to drop me a line about any questions or concerns you might have. You know where to find me.

Chad
Chad,

I appreciate all of the help and information you provided me over a couple month period. Every update I recieved was Thanks to you, the dealer either never knew or didn't try. In the end I never held it againt anyone other than Ford....
Having said that though I will not miss our weekly conversations!

I think the change was a good call. I did the same thing just before I ordered. My 11 has 3.73 which works well, but was not needed for my driving.
