I haven't really paid enough attention to it (on/off tests) but... is there much of a noticeable difference with sport mode? I think I only knocked it on once and mostly noted it didn't come back on by default at power on.

After a shutdown and then restart, the center cluster will show a pop-up question "Continuing in Sport Mode Y/N?", of course I said yes, LOL!!

? never seen that come up. The center screen is disappointingly laggy (and may be my biggest complaint about the whole vehicle) so I've kind of been ignoring it as much as possible unless CarPlay's on. Barely even using the cameras because of how many taps it takes to get to them. Utter nonsense UX design.

Oh well perfect excuse to go for a drive and test it!

I probably should have said the cluster in front of the steering wheel instead of center cluster.
It pops up like other warnings between the energy gauges and the speedo.

You might also need to do a door open, exit, lock, unlock, enter and start cycle to cause it to happen.

Can’t get a VVR from customer service or the dealer?

I bug them too much, my guess is it's got Michigan Manufacturer plates and their using for lunch runs! Kidding of course but my expectation is to get before Christmas and then I won't be let down. It's got to be a 6th year Senior around the other fresh builds.

Let’s hope this actually the case. No one left behind in the 6/6 group.

I just woke up, but I came here first, are you serious! I'll be back in a few.

Wow, you guys are amazing. What a treat you had me wake to!

Nothing on the Ford Website yet.

So the decision day is fast approaching. Trade my 21 Hybrid F150 Platinum and lose massaging seats, Platinum Interior, 6.5' bed, 700+ miles of range, 7.2 kvw generator built in to the Lightning Lariat.

This is going to be a tough one y'all. (from Michigan, but getting that southern speak after 10 years.)

Well that was mean. Finally Shipped notice and hours later it's back to Awaiting Shipping.
OMGosh that was mean, Ford really?

Well, you can’t be King Solomon here….no splitting this baby!! ….,and, that above is a nice baby!!!

….my only thought is consider how much mid- to long-range towing of large trailers you typically need to do…..

I don’t envy your choice….especially after your looooong wait……

Looks like Ford thought I needed more time to decide. Just got, "Unshipped!"
