I can't imagine a software improvement like this wouldn't be intended to get implemented on previous model years as well.
As to whether each individual person will actually receive it is obviously a different question, since it seems there's multiple anecdotes of people not getting updates. But...
Was waiting to see if Ford would have the balls to bring back an exciting color (maybe some grabber blue hmmm?) for 2025. Instead, they just nuked the slightly interesting off-color and added nothing.
That's impressively lame...
Ah I’m looking at the Platinums that have like $12k discounts on their site. Assuming that must just be dealer discount since they don’t qualify for the tax credit.
I’m in Seattle myself.
Seems Sound Ford in Renton has the most availability with the largest discounts. Did you happen to interact with them at all in your purchasing ventures?
So from what I can gather, to order the truck you want, you configure the basics on Ford.com and then have to rifle through the various configurations on the "View Matches" page to hunt down the detailed options like power deployable running boards or bedliners, etc.
Most of the more optioned...
Thanks for this review and writeup.
I had ordered a Lightning with the optimistic plan to tow our Escape 19. Glad to see someone gave it a shot.
I ultimately chickened out last week after considering our personal situation and bought a Tundra HV.
We do about two camping weekends a month...
And thanks for all your efforts in all of these threads and behind the scenes!
I definitely feel bad being a data point contributing to the current onslaught of anti-EV nonsense, but I’m hopeful for the next couple years.
At least the Tundra has a battery and a kind of full EV mode at lower...
I've got good news and bad news:
Good news is that the truck finally went to "Built" last night (9/21 production day - Lariat ER)
Bad news that I may get roasted for is that I completely chickened out at the last minute and went and bought a Tundra Platinum HV and cancelled my order.
I was...
Here's my new conspiracy theory: carbonized gray trucks aren't being shipped.
Even looking at inventory at dealerships, there's no carbonized gray trucks available...
This happens every once in a while in my Polestar 2 as well. First time it happened, I was certain I hit something because it was so violent, but it was just the car slamming on the brakes because there was a curb behind me.
Suppose it's better than actually backing into something but damn...
Saw some folks with 9/21 production dates finally went to built.
I'm still sitting in "In Production" hell. How many are left at IP for this group? Wondering if the truck will even show up before December at this point, being on the west coast.
Obviously dealers can play whatever games they want, but the general procedure for most dealers is that you are eligible for the incentives that were available during your order OR when you actually take delivery, just not both (unless your dealer wants to of course).
So if you ordered during...
