Ok, this is a huge long shot, and I'm having my doubts about it but worth a try.

Does anyone have a contact number for a Ford factory rep, or know of anyone getting a change made to their order?

I ordered a 2018 RCSB XLT in Magma red. I wanted the power group and Navigation, so I had to go with the XLT and not the XL.
The higher trim XLT doesn't come with the Sport package which includes color matched bumpers... only chrome.
I really want the color matched, but my dealer basically said not a chance.
Is there a possibility at all to have them put these on the higher trim level truck?
It's still in "order processing", and hasn't even hit the assembly line yet.
Anyone know of this ever happening in the past by contacting the right people?

 

Call 816-459-1249....Ask to be transferred to John Lowe . Best of luck !

If all else fails contact Athens Ford or Blue Oval industries. They have contracts with Ford for new take off grills, etc... I picked up a Sport Lariat 18 grill for my current build for 199 shipped you can easily swap out rear bumper caps for painted ones vs replacing complete bumper.

 

Thanks so much for the reply.
Cheers

 

Your more than welcome ! You'll be in good hands with John

Won't happen, Ford will only build trucks per the site packages..

Not sure about the Magma Red but my 2018 XLT Screw in Magnetic has the sport appearance package and the grill is color matched. I tried to configure my truck online and couldn't duplicate it. Maybe I'm missing something from the OPs post but it should be possible.

 

He's trying to build a regular cab XLT with the Sport package. No such animal from the factory.

 

You can't buy XLT's with the sport package anymore?? Really?
I have a 2015 XLT with sport package, and I have color matched bumpers. I find that odd the newer F150's dont have that option..?

 

It wouldn't give me the option for a regular cab no.

 

That's what I missed. Still learning the acronyms.
