Default I’m back!!!

Was a big part of the community some years ago when I ordered my 2015 (see sig). I leased and when my lease was about due, I unfortunately leased a 2017 Explorer. WORSE DECISION EVER. My wife and I were building a new house and I was afraid of getting another F-150 due to cost. We had no idea what electric, water, etc were going to be and I did not want to over extend ourselves. Well everything finally worked out fine. And Long story short, my wife knew I was making a mistake saw my depression over the last year😎. She drives a 2017 Lincoln MKZ and that lease is up in a few months. She is kindly going to drive my Explorer for the next year and half and letting me get the truck!

This past Saturday I ordered a Black 4x4 Lariat with 502a package, tailgate step, 20” Wheels and spray in liner. So happy! Already have Amazon list going 😂

GLAD TO BE BACK!

Welcome back. Now the wait begins for your truck to come in. I also ordered a 2019 Lariat with the 502a package with adaptive cruise control and technology package on 12-20-18 and was told 8-12 weeks. We shall see how long it actually takes. My wife drives a Lincoln also, 2015 MKS in Ruby Red.

My dealer told me 6-8 weeks, however my 2015 took about 3 months. Did you get a VIN # yet?

Curious, why was it a bad decision?

No, haven't contacted the dealership since I placed the order.

Storage Storage Storage! The Explorer is so much smaller inside (I'm a big guy). It rides fine and is good, but I miss all the little things and much more room. The explorer is a good vehicle, don't get me wrong, but I should have got a truck.

Based on my last few F150 orders, you should have a VIN# by now, I'd call. Then you can track it here.
