Finally... 2020 Silver Spruce

You folks have been incredibly helpful, informative and supportive. We ordered our truck on 6/8/2020 and it was Blend Build date on 8/12/2020. Came in a couple days ago but couldn't go get it until yesterday...

2020 F150 4x4 Screw 145" Lariat 502A, Max Tow (means 3.5EB and 3.55), NO moonroof, Tow mirrors, tail gate step, All the Tech and other options, spray in bedliner, bed divider, all weather floor mats; I could go on... But how about a pic? Still under a hundred miles, so gonna' drive it tomorrow for sure! You bet I'll be asking more Q's and hopefully helping out a bit up here...

Nice job Scott!

So, how did you manage to make out on the warranty and dealer add-on questions that you had earlier?

Mine is coming in Iconic Silver. Don't remember seeing Silver Spruce as an option. Can't wait!

Thanks for asking - our Finance guy went crickets on us as in: not responding to any of our emails about dumping the 2 items. But the guy I bought the truck from is way up the food chain. We went in to get it, told the Fleet Mgr who was assigned to walk us through the truck delivery, about the situation with the $199 and $2750 (theft insurance & pre-paid maintenance) that we did not want. My guy, the New Car Sales Manager pops his head in to say hi and the Fleet guy says: they'd like out of these two things. My guy says: let's walk over to Finance and get them removed. Our Finance guy wasn't around, but they interrupt another Finance guy in the middle of working up a sale, and we sit down and he unputts the 2, asks for a signature and says we'll get a letter from the bank that the full amount has been applied to our loan balance (we did zero down, financed it all at 0% for 72 months)...

It's good to know someone at or near the top!

Now we're busy just trying to figure out all the truck's stuff (features) the Fleet guy didn't go over with us...

And thanks to the rest for the positive thoughts!

Scott

Nice truck. Interesting. I thought you needed to go with 20” wheels to get the Max Tow.

Dont feel bad. I just paid $40 for Ford to send me the Sync 3 update, since they couldn’t get their download figured out. After an hour to download from the supplied flash drive... TWICE... it STILL won’t work. Someone is going to give me back my $40 AND a program that works!

It's not a requirement of the MTT package but it is needed to hit the max numbers in the towing guide. There's a footnote in the guide.

No, 2020 you can get it with 18". I think 2021 you need to select 20" wheels. That will stink for those that prefer the softer ride of the 18" wheels.

Thanks everyone! The color is rarely ordered for dealer stock and our second choice was the Iconic silver - most Lariats seem to come with moonroofs and not many with tow mirrors, you'd see a Tow Package and no TBC - go figure, so you (we) eventually just said the heck with it, we're gonna' pay a lot no matter what, and why live with something you don't want/need? Or the opposite live without something you really do want... So order and wait it was... I think we have a whole 125 miles on him - doing a lot of mixed driving and trying out all the different modes. One heck of a torquey motor!!!
