RadMav

[Radman73]

Guess it's time to start by build thread. Currently in production with a date of July 29 so should be done in the next couple of days.

So far all I have are some Muslogy mud flaps and upper center console thingy.

Plans are wide open. My wife really wants to start camping again with our son in TN and our daughter and her fiance likely to end up in Illinois or Florida. Praying for Florida. Both kids grew camping and want to start going again.

Tonneau cover will be a must. Looking at the ARE Fusion trifold with the color matching panels. Need to see if it will work with the Xtrusion Overland rack.

When factory tires wear out I'll look at doing a modest lift and larger tires with more aggressive off road tread. We're not likely to ever due any real overlanding due to my health but we're excited to be able to take it on some day trips that the Mav can tackle.

Tailgate assist will happen, maybe the hood if it doesn't need to be a hack job.

Catch can(s) will be done pretty quick too.

After that I'll likely look to upgrade from the B&O system.

May even try my hand at applying PPF to the hood, fenders, mirrors and a strip across the top.

Updates will be coming!

No email yet but modules are active on the Ford Service Info site! Pretty sure it's built or just getting whatever final touches they do. Maybe SIBL?

Congrats! I just picked mine up yesterday in upstate South Carolina. 3 weeks from built to pick up…I was pretty shocked by it. The end is near!

And it is officially built.

Congrats! Just a heads up, I found from now until delivery to be the most frustrating part of the process. Chat gave me good estimates and surprisingly my estimated delivery date accurately updated as it traveled East. About once a week in my scenario.

Yeah, I’m sure it’ll be a frustrating wait. But we head out for vacation next week and end of August. We’ll be busy so that will help pass the time.

Hey, you’re right. That’s actually perfect timing. Enjoy it! Might enjoy your Mav when you get it so much that you wanna take another vacation just to spend time driving and enjoying it though. Lol

9/2-9/15. Hoping for the latter end actually as we'll be gone from 9/1-9/9.

Yeah, got my email at 4:50 am. Pretty sure based on the screen shots my dealer gave me it's heading to Colorado first. Probably transfer there.

So far the rail car has hit Tuscon, AZ and Lordsburg, NM when I've checked in via CSX.

Mine went from Mexico to Illinois on its way to Alabama . Hopefully remembering which way is south and making the turn soon.

Pretty sure mine is destined for Colorado first based off of a screen shot my dealer sent.

Just FYI, as an info point, I did get the railcar info from Ford, mine has made the turn south, set to arrive in Nashville on Sunday morning, get offloaded and headed toward me by truck soon after, I hope. I know there have been tons of horror stories about shipping, but so far I'm just STUNNED at how quickly this is moving. It just left Mexico a week ago.

Telli-tracker says the rail car left IN yesterday and is due in Taft, Fl(Orlando) on the 17th. First time it’s given me an ETA for arrival in Fl. Hopefully it only sits for a couple of days before delivery vs the weeks plus some have had to deal with.
