Did a test drive today on an XLT FX4. I will say the truck is improved to me over the 2020. The ride was smoother on the highway and I intentionally hit a set of rail tracks to see if the truck would hop. The truck did not, but granted the rail road tracks were that high. The dash and gauges are very nice and the 3.5 shifted as smooth as butter. I have a Bronco order and will likely move to the F150. I was very close to ordering a Gladiator last Friday and decided to drive the F150 first. I will say the F150 I drove at the ride and drive event was not assembled as well as this one. The biggest draw back is the rubber steering wheel on the base XLT. Going to have to search the forums to look for the best dealer in Texas, lol.

I am not a red truck guy but I have to say the dark red mixed with the black gives the truck a nice off road look. Black FX4 stickers would finish it off. I think the red on the F150 and the Bronco are going to look fantastic.
I have a 2017 Ruby Red Lariat. I love the color. There hasnt been a week since I got it when some random person sees it and tells me they love the color. Maybe its just my eye but I see a big difference between Ruby Red and Rapid Red. I ordered a new 21 in Antimatter Blue but if Ruby Red had been an option I would have ordered that instead
I placed an order for a Lariat last Thursday (Dec 10th). My sales rep said I should expect to wait 2-3 weeks to get a VIN number. Does that sound right?

It does if they didn't have an allocation. They just waiting till they get more allocations to place your order.

Agreed.
I had 1 bright red F250 and I vowed to never own bright red again. You could not stop the paint from fading and chipping.
2nd 2021 ive seen in person, 1st matchbox bronco Oxford white 4x4. I havent seen anyone talk about it but the rear leaf pack is COMPLETELY different. Only has 1 spring and 1 thick overload (least this 4x4 sport did)
