I have found the menu and it does show distance to empty, oil life, etc... This is really neat. I filled up today and it says that I have 573 miles I can go on the tank of gas (this is a 36 gal tank) , my oil level is 96% and my little 12 mile trip I got 16.1 mpg. I LOVE this truck. Deb

Grey vs tan interior

Originally Posted by debralj
I picked up my truck this afternoon. I really love it, drives and rides great, the back up camera is great, love the front grill and really like the redesign on the tailgate, really had a lot of people slowing down on the interstate looking at it. It was dark when I got home with it, I will post pics tomorrow.

My only problem is that I ordered it with the Flint Interior, that is what is stated on my Invoice and also the Window Sticker and it appears to have the Camel Tan which is a really light color. I could probably live with that, but the dash is real dark and the glove box is the light tan, which almost looks like someone had it replaced with whatever they could find. The reason I ordered the truck was to be sure I got exactly what I wanted.

After waiting over 6 months for this truck I would think it would come with what I ordered. I am not going to wait for another truck, but I believe Ford needs to explain to me what happened to my grey interior.
DebraLJ did you get the interior color question sorted out? I looked at an XLT the other day that had the flint (stone) interior. I was expecting it to be grey, similar to my 97 Tbird interior. However, the glove box was light tan & the carpet was dark brown. Is this actually the flint color or is it camel?

TIA

I have still not been able to find out what the deal is with the interior. I am glad I am not the only one that thinks this is a tan and not grey. On the build site for Ford they show the grey as being the color I had last on my truck (06) which is a dark grey. I am still working on finding out something, will let you know when I do.

Can you look on your door sticker (or door jamb) and see if there is a 2-letter code for the interior code.

If MW or FW, then it's Camel interior and Tan seat color.

If ME or FE, then it's Stone (Grey) interior and Medium Stone seat color.

I'm just going by what the order guide says.
