Just ordered my new F150

[jclynch57]

I just ordered my F150 XLT 4X4 Super Cab with 8' bed, 3.5L EcoBoost, Heavy Duty Payload, Max Towing, Convenience, and Plus packages plus a few more goodies. Hopefully I'll have Christmas is May!

Can't wait

I can't wait to have a truck to take pictures of! I am having trouble finding an exhaust for a 163" wheelbase truck though.

Congrats on your new truck!! What gear and what size wheels did you get?

 

[jclynch57]

rims and rear end

The heavy duty payload package only comes with the 17" 7 lug aluminum rims with 245/75R17 all-terrain tires. The rear is 9.75 gears in 3.73 limited slip.

Wow, that has got to be the most exciting thing in the world to buy a new vehicle. I can't wait to see photos!

If you have any reputable muffler shops in your area, they will custom bend the pipe for you to put whatever exhaust you want.

Welcome to the site.

My truck is scheduled to be built the week of April 9th! I even have the VIN number. It shows up on https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/vin_tools/default.asp but still doesn't show up on http://fordlabels.webview.biz/webviewhybrid/WindowSticker.aspx?vin=1FTVX1ET8CKD67604
At least I know when and where it is being built and it has the right cab and motor.

Congrats...

From what I understand the window sticker is available 6 days prior to the build date so next week I should get to see the window sticker!
I have been FORDless for a few years and didn't realize how much I missed them.

 

[jclynch57]

I have the window sticker!

Now it just needs to be built and delivered. I am also having the dealer send it to Line-X for a bed liner.

That has got to be one of the more exciting things ever. And your specs look like a SWEET truck.

The date on the bottom line (center) 04/09/12. That is the date the window sticker got generated within the system. The rule of thumb is that date is a week ahead of the truck being built.

 

[jclynch57]

Actually, the build date is at the top above where it says blend. Mine should be built on April 16th.

 

[Blue Goose]

The 16th would make what I had been told correct.... 7 days after the window sticker generation of 04/09/12 is your build date! When my wife was waiting for her Mustang she said it was like having a kid.... Congrats again on your soon to be new truck!

 

[jclynch57]

Found out my truck has shipped and is due at the dealer sometime next week!

 

[slmann]

that's great, I think we're all excited to see it at this point.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Is it here yet?

 

[jclynch57]

It's due Wednesday

Is it here yet?

It should be at the dealer Wednesday, the Line-X will be sprayed Friday so I'll be picking it up Saturday.
I guess this ismy Anniversary present, it will be 10 years for my wife and I on the 27th!
