Thanks, sorry to hear that. We had a washer line (PEX) that froze that wasn't well insulated. I was able to heat it up with a blow dryer and thaw it and it's OK for now but I understand that each freeze/thaw cycle makes the PEX weaker even though it can expand a little. I added pipe heating wrap...

Hey all, Got the Lightning in October 2022 and everything has been pretty smooth sailing, with the exception of getting software updates to trigger normally/with a trickle charger) but that’s a story for another day. With the recent snow/ice storms and power outages, I’m starting to get...

Well, I’m officially a Lightning owner now! Went to the dealership and my sales guy had just gotten back from vacation. It turns out there was an extremely minor issue of not enough paint application inside both front doors against the frame - a little rough patch, I wouldn’t have seen it and...

I think mine is at the dealer! Ford’s order tracking shows “Final Preparation” and ordertrack.app shows it at the dealer and the reservation page has switched to “ready to purchase!“. Dealer is not open yet. Looks like it took 2 weeks from arrival at Terminal 6 to delivery at the dealer. Hope to...

I think mine is at the dealer! Ford’s order tracking shows “Final Preparation” and ordertrack.app shows it at the dealer and the reservation page has switched to “ready to purchase!“. Dealer is not open yet. A few of us at PDX were stuck at the rail yard/port terminal in Portland as our delivery...

Hey, that's nothing! I spent $12k for a feature that doesn't even exist since I'm stuck with the Platinum (unless I want to wait again for a more expensive truck) I ordered just for the Max Recline seats that got deleted.

You might want to check with Ford/your dealer on delivery date. Mine just slipped to 9/18-9/24. I know it's not the rail strike - that was averted (great for all of us!) this morning. Contacted Ford this morning via chat and they confirmed it's just sitting there at Terminal 6. Checking with my...

In my case, the dealer emailed me when it arrived in Portland but you could hit up Ford chat as well or maybe email your dealer and ask them to let you know when it gets to that stage.

I have had an estimated delivery of 9/11-9/17 since the truck was built so it looks like it’s on track to be at the end of that delivery estimate. I just got excited when I saw it in Portland on 9/6 but apparently it has to age there like a fine Willamette Valley Pinot? ;) Yours might be a...

Long story on the financing front which I won’t get into here/now, but it looks like I’ll have a way to buy the truck either way. It’s been at the Portland ramp since 9/6 but should arrive by 9/17 so it looks like I won’t be able to drive off with the truck until next week. Just posting to let...

I’m not an economist, and only time will tell if this is really the medicine we need, but there’s definitely pain with this approach, and we’re certainly getting our fair share. It’s a painful waiting game for sure watching your monthly payment tick higher with every Fed meeting as you wait for...

Update on my situation if anyone finds it useful/interesting - truck arriving next week. 1. Was approved for 65k/3.64% for 84 months or $65k/2.64% for 72 months from USE CU. (they are in California, truck will be titled and kept in OR.) I would have gone with that rate if the dealership...

So my financing experience lately has been full of insanity at every turn. Here are a few examples: 1. Parsons is obtuse about income sources and can't seem to figure out my DTI correctly from W-2 and rental income correctly and simply stopped responding because they probably have simpler...

Re: the Blue Island location through Ford chat: I also got that a couple days ago. But I knew from a previous chat that it was already en route so the person I chatted with most recently was either new or didn’t care to take the extra step. You might try again and see if you can get more detail...

The good news: My truck arrived at the Portland ramp yesterday! Hope to pick it up next week. The bad news: my financing *may* be running into a snag since the CU is out of state and my dealer is saying they require a wire transfer to accept financing from an out of state bank. CU says no can...

Totally understand this line of thinking, and obviously you‘re doing something right if you can write a check for it. Getting close to buying a new house you probably don’t want another loan affecting your DTI so I get your approach there. If you want to goose that 1% to something higher, I...

Well, this thread is generally for those financing the truck, but I guess buying outright is a “financing option.” I noticed your original post mentioned a 0% interest rate though - I might take another look at that number, unless you don’t have a way to invest the $49,512.88 that would return...

I know, I know. I sort of just want Ford to tell me that they don’t have visibility on it with the carrier they’re using rather than just assuming it. You never know - I don’t know enough to know if there is a chance they use a trackable carrier for that leg.

Just got off chat with Ford and the Riverdale to Blue Island handoff took longer than expected. Arrived in Riverdale on Sunday, just arrived in Blue Island today (Weds) according to Ford chat so that’s about 2.5-3 days for that handoff. Will check again on Friday (I’m doing M,W,F check-ins via...

This is only a feature on the higher trims. Pros and XLTs won’t reject mass-market domestic beers and are happy toting around all the Natty Light they can fit. Lariats and above will disgorge these beers but are OK with microbrews. Platinums will only accept wines that are >90 points on Wine...
