Can you take a pic of the door open so I can see the contrast of the interior color (seats) and the body color?
Here you go. The Ford mats made for the vinyl floors match the paint color too (logo).

Quick update.

Purchase went smooth. The $7,000 was easily found in SmartVincent. The $5,000 price protection was applied, no issues or arguing from the dealer. GM did tell me how frustrating FoMoCo's lack of transparency regarding the Price Protection. My dealer has been the top Ford dealer in Oregon for close to 10 years, they have dealt with the Price Protection before. I would highly recommend them, anyone that has an unprocessed order in the PNW and wants no games...give Skyline Ford a try.

I took a small bath on my trade in, but that's the Market right now, not my dealers fault. I was debating selling privately (and the dealer gave me no pressure), but just wanted to be done with the process.

I will probably post more later.

OK, this is starting to really piss me off...

Last week it was by 12/15, now by 12/30. Another 2 weeks really doesn't matter in the big scheme of things, but Ford in general is now just looking completely unhinged.

As of yesterday, dealer says no movement. I'm beginning to get loose in the saddle....... Might just walk away

While I really want this thing, and its been almost a year, the fits and starts are really just annoying. I was hoping this would be a normal transaction like just about every other car I've ever purchased (this will be number 121 in my life, yes old collector), but the whole process is just so discombobulated that I'm basically losing interest

I can also confirm, my MY23 Pro (Tow Tech) came with heated mirrors. The seat warmers with the vinyl seats are AWESOME!

Deep breath.

My reservation was 11/28-12/3, then jumped up to 12/26-12/30, then jumped back down to 12/4-12/8. I took delivery 12/6 (4 days after the drop back down).

If you can get thru this process you will be very very happy with your truck.

This is becoming increasingly frustrating for me as I originally ordered on 1/20/22, got pushed to MY23, and am now on a chip hold that is probably going to push it into the new year. I can't even get answers from @Ford Motor Company on when the chip hold will be taken care of. I just want to get built status and get the truck shipped.

Well Benny, you talked me down off a ledge yet again. And true to Fords internal systems not actually working well, my date has moved up again

For what it is worth, our MY23 Pro with no Tow package also has heated mirrors.

Interesting, you don't have the 360 degree camera?
