I got a call from my salesperson on the splash guards. He said they would order them separately and install later... seems like an odd thing to be late, but I think it sb ok, rather than delay the build. I mean... who knows what the ETA for them would be.
My guess is that a supplier is making them for Ford and the supplier is having issues meeting Ford’s schedule. I did have them removed from my build, and may have them installed later, or maybe look at the eventual aftermarket versions.
I am curious about this. My dealership let me order mine (Rapid Red, 'Nuff Said) with this option. Is it not available at all now, or just another Late Availability item? I am OK with Late availability as I kind of want it delayed until at least September 15th anyway
I tried to order with XLT, was told it required the lux pkg as well.
Thanks- I am just going to remove it and use a stand alone inverter when needed.
You can add the in cab inverter to any model for $150, if you want the bed mounted option you'll need to get one of the lux packages. I wish Ford would've made both outlets optional equipment without the need for a luxury package, but it's not a deal breaker. I'm planning on ordering an inverter and may wire it into one of the 12V taps in the back.
You won’t be able to power a very large inverter with a 20a stub. The 400w likely takes 40 or so amps.
33.3 Amps at 12 VDC for a 400W circuit.
You're right, but it'll be enough to do what I want to do with it; namely power an inflator or battery charger and run some LED's. I'm not in construction so I don't need to run any hardcore power tools. If I need that, a nice inverter generator would fit the bill and you can use it away from the truck/transfer it to another vehicle.
Your calculation would be correct if the inverter is 100% efficient. That’s why I say 40 or so.
That is what I had thought, but the first dealer said they couldn't seem to add it or some reason- they came back and offered the Luxury Package, which I turned down. They were then reaching out to their Ford rep. So I sent the request to a different dealer and they had no problem ordering it with the in-cab inverter. I placed the order this morning- now waiting on the confirmation email from them and Ford.
It's not unusual for auto makers to do this, requiring one package to get another but I would agree with you, just be upfront and include it in the price of Lux package since you can't get it without CP360.I have a problem with Ford advertising the Lux Pkg at $3340 then carrying the bottom line to $3880. The B&P states "included" under the CP360 pkg and the price for the lux is quoted at $3340 still. Seems deceptive to me to have it state included but carry the add on price over in the final build price.
B&P system even says if you try to remove the Lux pkg its removing $3880 from the order.
