Agreed. This is crazy. It must be my dealer's rule. But, to defend him a bit, a few months ago he sold an Explorer with damage and Ford would not cover it post sale and he claims he got stuck with the bill - so he feels snake-bit.
Also, I have been trying for months to get him to give me a...
Unfortunately, #4 is a No Go. @Ford will not pay or assume liability and will deny warranty if dealer sells a damaged product. Dealer also will not sell a damaged product unless I sign a waiver and pay for the part myself (but he will be nice enough to give me a discount on installation and I...
Update Wed. 24th:
Got to test drive today :p :unsure::p?
From Dealer GM:
Apparently my Lightning was damaged while being loaded @Ford. A new Mirror Assembly was ordered on Tuesday ($1,500 + Installation). Hope they expedite Delivery from Factory!
Decision now at Ford Corp. Level: 1. Get...
" Probably at the body shop dealing with constructively placed damage during transit."
Are you talking to me! Darn It!
Went to dealer to pick up my Lightning and the GM said he had not called me because there was a 'little' problem. My truck is damaged! (In my mind I was thinking maybe it fell...
My Lariat left Ford's custody via Jack Cooper Convoy on Saturday the 20th with delivery to Central Kentucky by the 26th. Figuring driving the 300 miles here for 10 hours/day for 6 days he could average 5 mph. But they probably put me at the back of the bus and he has stops to make in Indiana...
Excellent Research!
I have been working on the same for a week but you have found everything I did and more. I think your reasoning is spot-on. I also think there will be political pressure on the government pencil pushers to interpret the definition of MSRP liberally.
Unfortunately, current...
Hope to join your party soon.
Per Order Track and Ford Web Page: Shipped and In Transit today 8/20. Had been in Built since 8/05.
Previously said ETA 8/26 - 9/01
So am hoping CONVOY since I am only 300 miles away. ;)
I was looking for a Cheap Lockable Container Box to carry in the bed of my Lightning to keep all my Support Equipment (hydraulic jack, jump box, charger, extension cords, star wrench, dangles, etc.) organized. I did not want it in my frunk or under the back seat. I plan to bungie it in place on...
Thanks. Multiple times so I know them like old girlfriends by now. Mostly they give me no more info than I already know and they just refer me to the Order Track and/or my Clueless Dealer. :unsure:
I am trying to get an understanding of the "In-Production" to "Built" to "Shipped" Process by reading my Window Sticker(s).
My Original Window Sticker was issued several weeks prior (6/18/22) to my Blend Date of 7/14/22 and it did not change day to day until 8/11/22, a week after my "Built"...
Hopefully our trucks for the Week of 7/11 will all have been delivered by September 14th!

Last month (July 15th), Biden appointed a Presidential Emergency Board after the National Mediation Board had concluded that talks between the...
Just still Crappo Here!
My Ford Page changed this morning from Delivery 8/7 to 8/13 to NOW 8/26 to 9/01. But no email telling me about the change.
Never heard anything back from Dealer since rate locked at 2.89% on July 28th.
So that means my rate lock will run out August 27th and I will be...
1. Ignore the Salesman and tell him/her you need a few minutes alone with your truck to Inspect it. Do a deep walk-around inside and out checking closely that everything works and there are no dents, discolorations, or defects. Make written notes until you are satisfied it is perfect.
2. Test...
I have a idea on how to pay for my Lightning when it is delivered next week. My down payment will be about $27,000 (which I have already in cash) but I think instead I will pay the dealer $12,000 in cash and put $15,000 on my Ford Visa card (I have that amount available unused on the card). My...
I hope nobody attacks anyone here on the forum for considering your own options. Everyone has different wants, needs, and environment.
Sometimes, people cannot understand my down home rural environment and lifestyle, what with most of the Lightning buyers being upper middle class urban...
Hopefully!
Now we will find out where the Mandatory Removal Option begins.
" 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning production has been updated to include an On-Board Scales and Smart Hitch Removal option, which is required, but only impacts models that would have otherwise been equipped with the Tow...
