So, I finally got to see one of these tonight. Pretty excited. It was a 250 gas crew cab long bed in XL trim. Crank Windows! It was unlocked. I didn't think it seemed bigger than the 2016 it was parked next to. I felt th plastic gas door is a big step back form the sturdy metal ones we're used to. The inside looked very roomy but the dash is much more modern. I liked it.

Chuckle Chuckle, take it on a 3-4 week test drive!!
I went back to see the 2017 I saw last week. My daughter said "daddy I want to sit in it". I replied "so do I sweetie but it's locked". As I was holding her reading the window sticker she pulled on the door handle and opened it! Lol
I must say after sitting in one for the first time I was pleasantly surprised. The much less bulky seats feel more supportive and look much more proportionate to the cab. Also in regards to people's comments about the hood possibly holding water, that's a non issue as the front leading edge is nearly flush.

Cute Girl. I hope my truck doesn't come with one. We've already done that duty!
Another thing I noticed is that even on the XL, the instruments are electroluminescent and light up as brightly as any of the other models. This is in stark contrast to the previous gen which would not light up except when they chose to. The new 2.3" message center is a definite improvement over the 2-line dot matrix readout the older base model trucks had.
My Corvallis OR. Got their first yesterday. Shocked everyone as it was due after mine and the other. The one showed up was 3rd in the priority line. It is a 350 cclb 6.2 xlt.
What a cutie pie!!! In that second pic it's obvious that she's pointing to the one with leather "over there"...lol.
Lol Thanks. She did get out and Run to the loaded expedition next to it followed by the brembo pack mustang 😀. She is just as excited As I am....I promised her and her little sister a ride to the ice cream shop when I finally get the truck.

I am very disappointed in this also. They need to change this. It feels like it could warp easily and not flow with the body very well over time?
