Got mine and have some tips if you are ordering

I ordered this truck for my farm work truck using the web to pick out the specs. I used a fleet purchase group so I never went to a dealer. I finally arrived and I really like it. But a couple tips to you if you are ordering.
Those LED outlines in the headlight bezels that are highlighted in the led light package do NOT come on the truck unless you get the 502 package or higher.
Getting leather seats for stain and dirt resistance isn't the case now because the seat are full of holes so they can be air conditioned.
OEM tires are a joke! Truck has tow package and I paid extra for A/T tires and it comes with a set of P rated Good for a years that would look wimpy on a Explorer. If you want tires plan on buying them after.
The rubber floor mat option leave a strip of carpet between kick panel and mat. Save the money and buy Weather tecs or aftermarket. They cover much better.
The 3.5 Eco Boost has alot of *****!
Bronze Fire is not as orange at it looks in the sample, but I Like it.

Good Luck if you are getting one. I really like mine so far.

All the manufacturers put on p-metric tires for fuel economy reasons. I've seen some reliable data that in mixed driving p-metric will save you about 1 MPG compared to All-terrain LT tires.
So, after you swap those tires, don't complain about getting poor mileage.

Just ordered

How long was the wait? I just ordered my and was told 6 weeks. Reading a ton on the internet and it looks like it is taking much longer.

The P metric tires are rated to handle any work that the truck is rated for. If one must switch, I can't think of a better tire than the BFG Ko2. They will cost at the pump.

Yes it is a Lariat with the 501 package. Not fully loaded but still a CRAZY amount of gadgets.

Ordered it in November before production had started.

nice looking truck. I like the color combination. I agree with the tires, any tire the factory offers(except for the Raptor)is junk. I ordered my truck with the base tires because I knew I was going to upgrade as soon as I took delivery.

I never complain about mpg's that is why I drive a truck
If I wanted something with horsepower and mpg's I would get a car and then it wouldn't be able to tow a damn thing
