The day has finally come. After about 330 days my 22 Lariat Lux (Ecoboost) will be ready for pick up on Friday. For those lucky souls who have been able to get to this point in the process do you have any info/tips/suggestions that I should be aware of on pick up date? My dealer has been pretty good about communication and is one of those dealers that sells at MSRP. I have read about making sure the dealer smartvincent system uses order date versus delivery date to make sure that I am getting the price protection and the rate protection. I have also ran the VIN at the NHTSA and it is not impacted by any of the recalls (at this point). Anything I should look out for or double check on the test drive that is particular on this specific model?

Any other info would be awesome.

This right here. Learn to say "no." As long as you keep your vehicle serviced and keep the fluids topped off and clean, your EB will run for a million miles.

Second is before you pull out of the lot, go ahead and call your insurance company to have the vehicle added. They usually give a grace period but I never tempt them.

This one caught me with the Escape: make sure the dealer gives you the keypad entry code and have them show you how to change it. I had to hunt down the control board to find the sticker with my number because the dealer-I-blacklisted failed to provide that information to me and then didn't return my calls.

Make sure you have the FordPass points paperwork. It's a free $210 for accessories once it comes in.

Good advice. I never ordered a new car B4, was wondering when insurance started and where Ford is liable.

Check the tire pressure - many of our trucks were significantly overinflated at delivery.

Air Pressure was set at 41 by the factory. Should be 35lbs.

Yep - mine was around 45 from the factory so I immediately dropped it to 35 before I left the dealership. Fortunately I've been on this forum a long time so I've gathered helpful tidbits like that along the way. Good luck with your new truck!
