I can't tell if it is troll or not completely with it. Trying not to be negative and just "drive on by" as suggested by a senior forum member.

We could tell on our site he was a troll. I was only pointing this out on here because its people like this who say they are someone they are not and pass on bad info if that makes sense.

I actually feel sorry for the guy. I've had plenty of times in my life where people get annoyed with me and I can't understand why. He may actually be someone who is extremely smart (and thus able to earn a good living and pay for a 2017 4x2 with dealer installed 5th wheel receiver) but has poor social skills.

FWIW: Rumor source at KTP reported 4 trucks on B crew down the line in 9 hours. More Robo calls which I believe are don't show up for shift and as of yesterday still outside contractors working on various supply lines. Since these reports are somewhat cryptic take them for what they are worth. I am surprised these reports are allowed on their forum unless it is because of the heading "rumor".

Seriously though, the new F150 went through the same baby steps. This is Fords bread and butter and they want it perfect.
They will continue to run X number jobs per hour until all the assemblers are properly trained.

That is just the way it is supposed to be. And I also empathize with the workers who took their 1 week shutdown (mandatory vacation) and reported back home hoping that work would start on schedule. But that is also part of the package which comes with the unionized work. In this calm before the next releases of information these tidbits of knowledge of what is behind the KTP walls keeps the hype alive and the anxiety over the first production vehicles showing their abilities ever fresh in the minds of those of us waiting for our phone to ring "Come on over, your new truck is here."

No way my dealer calls me first. I'll know its there before they do. I'm sure its a whole lot more high priority for me than for them.
