Order banks opened on the '15th.. production set to start on June '15th... I'm considering jumping into a truck this year myself. I like the current gen but I always felt the grill was of lazy design (rectangle with two right triangles cut off the top). Gotta pay off the Fiesta because I don't want two payments though and I don't want to trade that one in.

I call it the "tombstone look". Don't really care for it, and I think I will be changing that aspect of mine.

For anyone that has seen the 2018 order bank....can you get the transmission shifter DIAL like they show for 2018 Expedition? I'd love to not have the huge console shifter in my way.

Heck, I'd take a column shifter if you could get it in the Lariat. But, it's not available in the Lariat.

You can get a column shifter in the Lariat as long as you get the 40/20/40 seat, which some call a bench seat.

Yes, if you get the "base" Lariat it's standard with the 40/20/40 leather seats. Not available with 501a or 502a. I can't find it spelled out, but if you look at the outlets that are standard with 501a and 502a it says they require bucket seats... and being standard, that would be the indicator. Plus I'm pretty sure that's how it was for 2017, I really don't mess much with the fancy trucks, and personally I hate the center console myself. I prefer the bench both as an arm rest and for functionality.

Cant wait for the build and price to order mine, I like to play around with colors and options. Hoping to go with a lead foot se as long as it's lighter than the lithium that I have now.

I ordered my XLT on June 15th. On June 26th I was notified that it was scheduled to be built on 7/27/17 at the Ford Dearborn Assembly plant in Michigan, and on July 3rd I received another message that the estimated time of arrival is 8/21/17 in Phoenix, Arizona.
