Ordered my Velocity Blue hybrid on October 30, only option is the drop in bed liner. Guessing sometime between May and August.

Mine will come with the same steel wheels. I have said, I will be replacing those wheels the day I get the truck, but now that I see the wheels on your truck, I might just leave them on. They look fine on the truck.
I wasn’t so sure about the wheels before I bought the truck. But I actually really like them in person. They remind me of my old 89 Toyota pickup, which was all about fun(ction)!

Ordered it back on June 16th, and just drove it home last night. My first impression is that this truck is an incredible deal. Wow! I'm kind of glad that I hadn't seen one before last night, because my expectations were simply blown away. It has a massive amount of utility, amazing gas mileage, lots of tech, and fun handling. I couldn't be happier. Sure, I could nitpick a few small things, but I'll leave that to others.

To those who haven't received their trucks yet: hang in there, it'll be worth it. Unless you are expecting a Rivian for $22,000, you won't be disappointed.

My only concern is durability and reliability, due to Ford's imperfect history. But I'm optimistic and hopeful that my truck will have many solid years ahead of it.

FYI, if anyone in Colorado wants to work with an excellent dealership, check out Mike Maroone Ford Longmont. Truly a class act, from start to finish. No ugly surprises or squirrely sales tactics. Just courteous, respectful, professional, and responsive service. Having heard many horror stories on this forum about crappy dealers, I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with Brad, Brent, and Andre at Mike Maroone Ford. EDIT: Worth noting that they stuck to the original price, and didn't charge any ADM. And their pricing for Ford ESP plans seems to be pretty much the same as Flood Ford online (haven't purchased it yet, but still thinking about it...)

Congrats, looks great! I think this color looks so much better in person than in pictures. There was a truck next to mine as I took delivery and I really loved it.

Looking forward to getting mine. Originally tried to order in June but got no reply from dealer. Reordered around July 15th with another dealer. Got email yesterday that it will be built week of February 21st. Long wait but I am in no hurry.

Congratulations! And I agree with all you have said. I picked up my XLT Thursday, and I have to say I am really impressed with all the technology this truck has and the way it handles & performs. I've owned a lot of vehicles in my 70 years on this planet, but I must say, this little truck has stole my heart. Best of luck to all . .

I REALLY like the eCVT, which is a nice surprise. I’ve always driven a stick because I hate automatic transmissions and conventional CVTs. But this transmission is excellent. No hunting or rubber-banding, just smooth power. Feels like an EV. Ford got this right!

The electric and gas motors play nicely together as well. Transition between regen and braking is also smooth. Ford nailed it, which isn’t easy.

Colorado. Took a little over two weeks, including the last bit from the rail yard to the dealer. Mine was routed through California, then up to Wyoming.

My dealer initially didn't know where to find the railcar number, but he eventually did see it--he said that it was almost too easy to find, so he didn't see it at first.
