If you had a chance to order again what would you change?

I'd go thru fleet sales at my dealer. It never dawned on me that there would be separate allocations for retail vs. fleet.

I wouldn't order at all. Although I love my truck, this was a very stressful and lengthy process. I wouldn't like to go thru it again. 8 ½ months wait was a nightmare without a car.

The year. I wouldn't have bothered and tried in a couple years when the industry has its feces consolidated.

I would order nothing from Ford. Might try for an AWD Ridgeline hybrid. The wait might be about as long.

The soft rollup through Ford accessories. It's a Truxedo Truxsport. Used the ForPass points, so not too bad on price and does everything I need. I really wanted to avoid blocking the rear window. I'm prepared for a little water to get in there, but at that price I can't complain.

You can't block the rear window with mine - the final 1/3 doesn't fold up. But it takes all of 2 minutes to install/uninstall, so it's a breeze when you need access to the full bed

I’m not positive I would change anything.

What would I change?

Most probably the dealership ordered from.

Same as you different dealership very disappointed with salesman

I would have considered the hybrid if it wasn't so difficult to obtain. I would have ordered upgraded tires, not a real fan of the '4 line tread' car tires it has, although they so far are good in the rain & low road noise.

Big facts on the last one.

I wouldn't change my build, but I would have liked to get a Lariat Hybrid instead. Why stop us from getting lariat with hybrid? Frustrating as heck! Need dat ACC baby.

 

[tonyinsd]

Nothing. I like what I have. I was thinking of getting the folding cover but now that I have my truck, I'm glad I didn't. No need for it!

360 cp, strictly for the blind spot monitoring but I will just be buying some blind spot assist mirrors and be happy that my truck wasn't delayed any further.

 

[Ponchsox]

Very helpful thread for those waiting to place orders in August. I think I’m going base XL hybrid with trailer hitch and 360 in Area 51 or Cactus.

So, I didn't get to actually buy my build, but I put a lot of thought into it. I ended up finding one that was close enough because I'm impatient. I think it worked out, though.

I got one with CP360 which I was going to leave off, but did not get the FX4 kit like I wanted. In hindsight, I'd rather have CP360 than FX4 (if I had to choose).

Not only is CP360 nice, but I actually use the Eco and Sport drive modes more than I thought I would. Sport mode is no joke - it changes the attitude by a lot! And saving gas was part of the justification for getting rid of a perfectly fine, paid off Silverado. So Eco mode gets some use. I've yet to see a scenario where Mud/Ruts or Sand mode would get used, but we'll see. I only plan on driving on forest service roads or "soft roading". I really didn't need FX4. It's a commuter.
