A mannequin is just dealer stock, that is marked in their system to not be sold until a certain date. Ford submits your information to SunRun once you purchase the vehicle then they ship you the charge station pro. Weird process, but that's the deal they made with SunRun so they can quote...
OK, this really sucks and I'm not sure I can even comprehend how me purchasing a Lightning seems to get thwarted at every stage. Had to take a few days away from everything Ford and Lightning to get a handle on this...
Last week, I was informed that my truck had been damaged in transit to the...
...unless the mannequin has already been titled and registered to the dealership. Some states require demo vehicles to be titled and registered. Then he would be the 2nd owner, but I wonder if they would still transfer the credits to him somehow? Not sure how that would work.
The problem right now is that there are no pricing practices or standards in place. Dealerships can do whatever they want. Ford wanted them to present final pricing at the time of order for the Lightning. But still have no control over what the dealer does when finalizing the sale as they...
This is old news... They're just talking about it again since the deadline was Tuesday. And this is what all the dealerships who become Model E program partners must do starting January '24. The dealerships still set the pricing. *BUT* they have to present the pricing up front and there's no...
It's included with the CoPilot 360 Assist 2.0 package. It's included on Lariat ER 511A and Platinum. For Lariat SR it's an add-on. If you have BlueCruise and Active Park Assist, you have PAAK. Otherwise you don't.
This right here. Teslas work the same way and I've noticed with the ones I've owned that they're always tweaking the threshold with many of the updates. I'll watch who's behind me and if I'm not sure if my brake lights are on or maybe they need a flash, I'll tap the brake pedal just to be...
I've seen a few out there with little or no ADM. A couple reports from others on here being able to pick one up without ADM. I'm noticing the markups are increasing on the '22s though. We're at year-end for tax credit purposes and most of those trucks are already spoken for, especially if...
Yeah, I think I made a stupid decision on Monday... There's a '22 Lariat ER configured exactly how I want my truck, which has been a showroom mannequin since June. It was to be up for sale here soon, end of next week actually, and I was first in line to buy it...
Another Lightning came in...
You're supposed to get two, the Ford MyKey system always includes two. They probably misplaced one of the fobs and are trying to not replace it since they're a couple hundred bucks. The MyKey settings on your truck should list fobs that are linked. It will show two of them unless they deleted...
Yes, the mannequins will include the FCSP. Mannequins are no different than dealer stock units, in fact they are just dealer stock units. The dealer has an agreement in place to use that vehicle as an accessible showroom display and/or make it available for test drives for a period of 6...
Yeah, this is what I'm afraid of with mine that's been on chip hold now for a month. Seen some reports on these forums and elsewhere getting ship notices or finally taking delivery after having production/blend dates back in august or September. My own dealership sold their platinum mannequin...
I should have clarified some more and rereading what I wrote, it's not good. Yes, Sync 3 and 4 are indeed running on QNX. You can search my posts and see I've addressed this before -- lots of posts about it in some of the Android / Sync / QNX discussions. But Ford's latest Sync...
We don't know what Ford is doing here. I'm not sure Ford knows what they're doing. The Sync system in the '22 and '23 Lightning runs on top of Android. Actually all Sync 4 units do and some of the more recent Sync 3 units as well.
But I think what many of us were hoping for is that Ford...
GM is experiencing the exact same delays and and problems with their vehicles. And to the end customer, it appears like the same shenanigans of building and delivering out of order. All automakers are dealing with this, some are presenting the illusion of better recovery because they don't...
Base price on all trims has gone up. Some features are unavailable due to parts shortages. Some color choices are different. But it's still mostly Ford's array of blue and grey.
Onboard scales and companion Smart Hitch system are no longer available. Trims that include this are credited...
"Excuse me sir, we are very concerned about your F-150 Lightning. Your truck has reported to us that there may be the possibility that you have not contacted us about an extended warranty."
-- probably.
My dealership is talking to Ford about this. They changed the order guide on 8/9/22 to make it a separate option on both Lariat trims. They didn’t implement the separate option that worked with the 511A package selected in the order system until mid September. Many of us confirmed our orders...
