And I didn't even want the bedliner, but yeah, it 's part of the package..I was told somewhere on here that if I tried to change my build this late in the game, I would go to the back of the line...it's not like I can't get a bed at or a spray in liner thru my work contacts 🙃😆🙃
Yes. Very true. And I'm on both sides of that fence, since I hold some stock in Ford. I usually weigh the need, the reasons for purchase, and my level of fiscal health when I purchase things..I try to buy locally when I can, but I can't lie. I use Amazon.
But I found it interesting that the...
I hope it doesn't turn out to be that big a cluster*@#%. But that might explain why crickets from dealer, spotty emails and tracker info, and 45 minute hold times for phone calls to Ford.
I wouldn't recommend a call. Unless you have an hour of road time for the hold, no dead cell zones, and patience for the bad news sure to come at the end of the call. :p
Spray in bedliner? I heard chemicals used in the material are in short supply because of Snowmaggedon, AKA the Deep Freeze, in Texas in February. A manufacturing plant was damaged then. Ironically, that freeze is why I ordered the (AWD) truck.
This is very true. I sell auto parts for a living. In the past, the options were for me to sell a premium product made in the US, or at least North America, or to sell an economical product which was usually made in China. Because the market (us) has demanded lower prices, manufacturers of lines...
YES!! I live in East Texas as well, and Snowmaggedon is EXACTLY why I ordered AWD. My FWD Fiesta is great for fuel mileage, but with no weight or power to grab traction, 40ish MPG doesn't do any good stuck in my yard for 6 days. And I read we are probably getting Snowmaggedon 2.0 this winter.

I called Ford Marketing, since my dealer was not a help and the trackers weren't showing a date... They can give you status updates on your order. Be prepared for long hold times...my phone call was almost 45 minutes.
I've not received an email from Ford since 10/1. They acknowledged my order...
I asked my dealer two days ago, and he supposedly checked the VVR...He said nothing showed up there. Neither tracker I've checked shows anything beyond scheduled for production. I wonder if the lady from Ford was looking at the correct VIN...early in the conversation she gave me the wrong order...
This is almost my exact build! I didn't opt for a tonneau cover...your truck looks awesome! Congrats...not even mad that I just found that my build was delayed again...(I've been known to fib on occasion?..lol) Seriously, glad for you, sir!
