Currently debating making the trek up to Venice, used to work down the street so I’m dreading traffic/parking situation and more importantly Sunday’s are for sleeping in.

I think you have to do this. For us. And the children. Do it for the children.

I tried to focus more on the details. For instance, the orange trims, I thought it was bery muted and the quality of the cloth seats are very nice. Not loose and very nice to the touch!
The phone in the cubby is a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G! Lol! It still sticks out in folded mode. But I find it very roomy for my baby Groot!
The 2nd row leg space is narrower than a 2016 Honda Civic sedan. But very doable for kids and I say tolerable for adults for long trips.
The windshield says "laminate". I asked Mike if it indicates acoustic layer but he said he wasn't sure. I know it only comes on the Lariat but one can dream!
Pretty solid build in my opinion. No other surprises. I know at this point, we're just waiting for driving impressions and we've seen just about every angle of this truck! According to the rep, we should see the embargo being lifted first week of October! He also said don't lose hope if you're team hybrid. They are still gonna happen this year!
I don't know the time frame for the Maverick but when I left around 8:30am, it got super crowded already. Also, coffee's free but just ok.
I just realized that even though this is an XLT, the tray inserts are charcoal. So definitely interchangeable and might even be available to swap upon delivery!

I was there too. Here are some photos that I took. I'm 5'9" and 240lbs. I feel both the front and back legroom are comfortable for me. The Carbonized Gray looks very great.

It had charcoal tray inserts? Looks like the orange mold was just removed and its “bare.” But if it had a different color insert that’d be cool and we can expect to see those show up on the accessory site soon. I think it looks better without the big orange insert too.
Pretty much my build to a T…minus the spray-in liner. I seriously cannot wait for this truck.
Thanks for the pics.

Thanks so much for the pictures! They all help in visualizing without actually being able to see one myself. Side note: I remember being parked at that very spot several years ago

that’s me in the middle of the street. I didn’t stay long, checked it out, sat in it, had to make my bowling league by 9amFeast your eyes!!!
O hey! I think I spoke to you! Lol! Took bunch of pics, got my coffee and left right around 8:30 before it got too crowded.
Hopefully you don't mind the candid shot!
Maybe you're right. Maybe it was just taken out. One thing for sure, it didn't look out of place or incomplete. So if I get mine and can't get a replacement, I would kist take them off!

I went to the meet up this morning as well. I was the dude in the yellow shirt. It was great to finally check it out in person. Some quick notes:
- the rear slider window is pretty small, but due to the interior coming up over the window it’s about as big as it can get and still be open. I could work with it though. Some lumber or pipe can still fit.
- bed had a spray in liner. I noticed holes in parts of the flex bed. Where you could put a 2x4. I wonder if you can use that to secure the 2x4.
- Interior looks small, but is actually pretty roomy. We had a dude who’s 6’ 3” recline and move his front seat and the guys in the rear seemed ok.
- Front grill looks pretty easy to remove. I’ll prolly drop in a raptor grill once some become available.
- the front looks better in person. I dig the lights. Rear looks worse in person when looking straight on, but isn’t too bad.
- the roof has ridges. I thought it was gonna be totally smooth. I dig.
