Hello to everyone. It's been over 1-1/2 years since getting my Lariat Hybrid, and it still makes me grin or laugh like a loon a few times each week. I live in the Redmond, WA area. Do any of you folks get together to tell stories, trade ideas, swap lies, or share in the mutual good fortune of...

Congrats to both of you. Be patient, and you'll be rewarded. I picked up my Lariat 12/31, so have had it 10 days. After work today, I'm walking towards it, and found myself walking around it - just to look. Got in, and just sat there, enjoying the inside. Powered up, then off, then up, then...

Bowen Scarff of Kent, WA. I also posted a review of them on dealerrater.com No MSRP add-on, no excessive mark-ups. They did a good job.

So, I've had it a few days. One word, delighted. The hybrid has done 47.2 and 51.0 mpg on local (<10 miles) urban trips. Took the Hairy One to the dog park and used the Christmas gift hammock, which worked extremely well. Took unneccesary trips to try everything, and most or all of the...

Happy New Year, folks. Picked up Larry. It's 20 something miles from the dealer, the highways were clear, the side roads, not so much, so I was able to try out 75 mph in the HOV, slippery mode near home, and fired up Let It Be, Starirway to Heaven, and Baby got Back off my phone. Stopped by...

I did some research on tonneaus; soft, hard, and revolving (the roll ups). Pretty sure the Ford in-house brand is really a Bakflip Revolver. So I checked those out and identified the Revolver X2 and X4s on the Bakflip website. These were my baselines. Then I looked at comps on other sites...

Well stated and beautifully put. I've worked supply chain and production for decades, and had a firm rule to NEVER buy the first issue of a new car model, because the first run of anything has bugs. I broke my rule because 1) I wanted a hybrid truck, not just a truck; 2) the hybrid motor has a...

This is sort of ridiculous. Today is Thursday. On Tuesday the truck was supposedly on rail in Nogales, MX, three weeks after it was built. Yesterday, Wed, it showed in the dealer lot late pm. Dealer and I discussed, and due to New Year's holiday closure and need for PDI, I'd pick it up...

Dead on correct about the tariff. I had a Brat while living in Petersurg and Fairbanks, and just loved the thing. The Baja came out decades later, and for a while I really really thought about it...but by then I had my sights set on a future hybrid. I've driven both, and yeah, I would call...

Congrats on the Xmas weekend deli Congratulations on the Xmas delivery and the really nice photos AND the solid narrative. You hit the trifecta. Enjoy the ride and have an excellent New Year's.

Congratulations, especially on the improved delivery date. Oh my, you are gonna sleep in the bed tonight, arent't you?

Fot that quotation (Grandad used to use it) you deserve TWO XLTS hybrids shipping to you. Great news, and happy for you and yours. Thanks for the chuckle and the good news.

I have the same question. Awaiting my hybrid Lariat , and becasue of the rear passenger reduced underseat storage, I ordered the passenger side toolbox, too. It looks bigger than expected, which I think is good. But if I have plywood sheets to haul, the toolbox will have to be removed. Easy...

It is a fine looking vehicle, and we all wish you the best with it. You and the truck will shine. Thanks for making my day. Ooh..just saw you ordered 7/7. Mine is 7/6. An omen? Mine's a Lariat, alto blue, with the 360 and a handful of options that did NOT include the spray liner and...

Mostyly agreed. I'll add the spray bedliner and mudflaps I dropped to avoid more pushouts (they are still in the car budget), and may get a retractible rollup tonneau. But I bought the Lariat for the hybrid, and hybrid it will stay. I work in supply chain, by the way, and the very best...

Derek: two thoughts: 1) they are so close I'd go with whichever dealer you felt more comfortable with. 2) Dump the spray in bedliner ASAP. It's a "late-addition" part, aka an add-on they are really struggling with. It will break your delivery heart. Exception would be if it was part of the top...

Strongly recommend you call the dealer and cancel the spray in liner ASAP, if it was added as an accesory. The spray in liner will absolutely bump your order down by likely months. Actually, the spray liner, mudflaps, and a few other accesories have been red-lined by Mexico. Your delaer has...
