I actually put the EcoBoost plate mount on my 2012 5.0, I liked the look a lot more. I didn't like the fit or look of the aftermarket alternatives, plus some effect the sensors on the bumpers. Since I needed to make two of them it was cheaper to make my own anyways.

I got a set of cloth XLT seat covers coming, those were free.

I'm contemplating this also but don't have a free source. I can get a set for $250. Maybe I'll let you be the guinea pig to see how hard it is first.

Sure, it'll be $5 for a report on my findings though.

I guess it is time to saunter back over here to your lowly thread from the 5/23 thread to report that y'all can have fun with your post count, at least we are ALL driving our trucks now. Good luck on those waits.

Oh yeah, and you all likely won't have PAAK either (hoping that gets rectified for all of us prior to 7/25 soon.)

Don't lie to yourself. You're going to come back here even if you have your truck. You 5/23ers secretly wish you were in the Slurpee Club. ... that doesn't sound right.

Got the call this afternoon that the truck is at the dealer. Waiting for it to be detailed...hope to pick it up this weekend.

PAAK is working post-update for me...

@DH0 let me know your approx shipping date

I received the "shipped" email on 8/20 but think it appeared as shipped a few days earlier on the order tracker....maybe 8/18?

Waiting on @juddisjudd & @chrislittle

@Yellow Buddy, did you almost convince Ford to put my running boards on your truck?

No light on running board, post-delivery

Or maybe on everyone's truck there's one thing not finished, you just have to figure out what it is yourself.

It’s defective. I’ll take it off your hands so you don’t need to pay for disposal.

Hate to even say this but I am considering trading my Lighting for a ICE F-150. I drive way to much and am finding myself always stressing over my range. I can only wonder if I would feel the same way in a Extended Range. However I do believe not having complete access to my charger hasn't helped with this. Hopefully we'll be back in the house Friday afternoon and then I want to wait a couple more weeks to see what I think then. Plus a 1,000 mile road trip coming up to NC and back, I should help make up my mind.

If I’m being honest, I don’t think it’s going to help. That’s a rough trip even with an established and reliable Tesla network. On a scattered public network and with less reliability, you’re going to be stopping g earlier than you need to and spending more time charging on the top end.

I think Ford also needs to adjust their programming. Going yellow with 25% of range left is too aggressive. For me at least I do better not knowing how many miles I have, but just percentage. I’ve been driving EVs for over 6 years now and the F150L gives me anxiety, despite it actually having more range than either of my Teslas right now. It’s not pleasant…
