Looks like it’s an F350 CC 6.2 XL STX... perhaps no Sirius or nav, so no roof antenna at all?

Regards,

Sorry, should of specified. The red truck in a post or two above the magnetic one. Old style antenna between cab lights on passenger side, the pic with both red trucks in it you can see the antennas.

The red truck side view is the same truck in the pic with both red trucks. My 17 is on the left, the 19 is on the right. Both are XLT Premiums with only a few differences. I do not have extended boards or factory spray in liner. I do have the diesel.

Yeah, I see that. I suspect the 2019 XLT Premium has Sirius but not nav. Or, perhaps the FordPass Connect 4G LTE hotspot antenna?

HTH,

Here’s a 2019 Plat at Heller Ford; it’s got the shark fin.

HTH,

The red 2019 XLT Premium has what I said. I read the sticker because I was comparing it to my 17. It does have Sirius. It does have Nav. I tried to get a pic of the sticker. Here it is but with the rear tint and the weather, it might not be very good. If you enlarge the image, you can read most everything, at least on my phone I can. Sorry for that. I do not know why the antenna is different on the other trucks but on this 19, it is the same as my 17. Not trying to get in a pissing match. I am not making up options. I only posted this info because if someone is looking for a 19 with this setup, here is one on the lot.

Thanks for the extra info! It now looks to me like the shark fin antenna is part of the FordPass Connect feature, which is new to the SD for MY2019. I think it's standard starting with the Lariat trim; I don't know about optional availability with "lower" trims.

Thanks again,
Jim / crewzer

Congrats on your "Upper Trim" model on the way. My 15 Loaded Lariat did not have the "Shark Fin" so I was not up to date on what the new ones have on them now.
I had a Blue Jeans truck. Nice look on these beasts.

I think you’re on the right track. The new ford pass advertises having an exterior WiFi antenna for making The hotspot accessible from outside the vehicle. A shark fin could house a WiFi and cellular antenna, apart from the GPS.

Now if only the router in this system could have user configuration and port forwarding it would actually be useful to me. I’m already up to 8 devices before the damn truck.... which won’t meet my hotspot requirements without being able to configure the device!

So interesting bit of information.
I hear Ford builds "dealer stock" trucks for the first 5 days, and if they find an issue they hold those until they correct that issue, but no trucks are shipped until the issue is corrected. However my local dealer has a truck on his lot that was built July 11th Vin: 1FT7W2BT0KEC04187 according to ETIS.
They have another stock truck that was built this last Sunday 7-22 acording to ETIS vin:1FT7W2BT9KEC04186 that has yet to ship.

My truck however which was ordered well prior to both of these as a customer special order has yet to be built (scheduled for Monday July 30th). I was the first 2019 to be ordered at this dealer, and all these "stock" trucks were ordered after mine....

So if a truck built on 7-11 (on the third day of 2019 builds) is actually at the dealer lot, then no issues were found in the first 5 days. So if that is the case why are they building stock trucks on day 13 (yesterday), when they are supposed to switch over to customer orders on day 6 if no issues were found...

Seems as though they are not following the customer order trucks take priority over dealer stock on day 6 rule...

That looks an awful lot like Brighton Ford.
If so I live several miles from there.

Not sure what is wrong with my order...
Monday July 30th I asked the dealer for an update (truck was supposed to be built the 30th) they sent me a screenshot that the truck was pushed out to build Friday August 3rd.
As of right now (Sunday the 5th) ETIS still doesn't show a build date, which as far as I know means its not been built yet... (I checked another truck and it showed a build date of 7-22-18, and I checked it on that day, so it updated immediately)
Dealer sent me an update on Friday the 3rd which showed under "status" "In Production, Sent to Plant" [whatever that means] that was 2 days ago.....

So the truck is either pushed out MORE
Or its in repair and hasn't been released

Having great luck with this order. 4.5 months and counting...

I'm sorry to hear that Josh. I agree... that is a weird update. Mine was scheduled for July 31st and is now in "Body Shop". I'm assuming for the spray in bed liner. If I'm not mistaken, mine said "In Production" just before the 31st but I don't remember anything about "Sent to Plant". I'm wondering how long of a process it is to do the spray in bed liner and when it will be on the rail car on it's way to me. I bet you'll have an update by mid week. Keep us posted.
