Just washed and waxed my Pro yesterday for the first time. Amazing how much trash gets in the finish a month after the build.
I don't know what the dealer uses to prep the truck, but there was a lot of drag on the paint when drying with a microfiber towel.
One coat of ceramic hybrid wax and the towel wont even stay on the hood. Slides right off.

Just got my assembly line production photo email. Hopefully delivered soon!

And just got a call from my dealer (SoCal) that it arrived. Picking it up after work!

Mine is in Richmond too. Awaiting delivery to Half Moon Bay. Wonder how long this will take?

Same down here in SLO county. They say it’s in Richmond and I saw the delivery window slide a week Too. Seems it’s not easy to get our trucks headed south once they’ve made it west.

Chat is now saying 9/19. Vehicle is still on ramp in PA, hasn't moved since over a week ago.

Actually I saw a post on the Lightning reddit thread about the pictures. Seems like quite a few people got them (some got it well after the truck was built/shipped/picked up). I suppose I can find one in AMB and claim it as mine

Delivery and dealer experience went well. Love everything about the truck so far, except... The radio screen had several AM, FM, and XM channels displayed that I want to delete and customize the screen with favorites. I can't delete any stations. I can add favorites, but I can't customize them on the radio screen. My salesperson and others in the dealership didn't have any workable solutions. I can find no resources in the manual, the Ford website, or anywhere else. Very frustrating, but I must be missing something.

Make sure to set up driver profile and key association first.

Then tune the radio to a station you prefer, then press and hold the button position you want that channel to be saved to, wash rinse repeat.

I replaced all my generic pre-sets to my local FM and XM stations with no problems.

FordPass activation went through to the vehicle prompt - that’s new. Still in production but I’m taking this as progress!

Well that was easy! Thanks TaxmanHog....
