Jan 10th Build Week Thread

Tremors, did we loose you? The truck I originally ordered shows it was built last week. You were before me. Any movement on yours?
Didn’t loose me… still waiting. Just noticed tonight that my 754 modules populated as well as the activate button on the FORD app.

You’ve got a sweet build going… you’re not doing anything with the truck you ordered are you?

I told the salesman I was going a different route. He stopped returning my texts and they kept my deposit. which is fine and I don't feel bad for the dealership. They will sell it if not already gone and maybe with some mark up. Ford told me August 4 for final assembly and that was almost 3 months away. It still does not show shipped. But if I would have know it would be this month I probably would have waited. But I love the color of the new truck. It gets tons of compliments and I kinda like a change from black. Finding out how lame the 2K Pro Power is also makes me feel better. I will be doing a RedArc set up that will blow the stock one away for 5-6 hundred more than factory and it can be on without the truck running. I can't wait for you to get yours. It is such fun truck to drive, (stock or lifted). Still not seeing many on the road in the SLC to Provo area. Maybe two Tremor sightings a month.

Why is the 2k pro power lame? I assume the RedArc you have to run 2 or 4 gauge wire all the way back?

I have no first had experience with it but on other forums people have been having trouble keeping them on and working. They keep resetting, the overhead is high and you have to have the truck running to use it. For high loads this is acceptable, but for everything else it would be nice to not have the truck running. The RedArc stuff can be combined with their BMS, DC to DC chargers with solar controllers. In the end be a better system if that's what you are looking for. Yes I would run 2 or 4 gauge to the bed and add a second battery. Also may go with the 1500 as the overlanding crowd likes the lower overhead of the smaller inverter and it would cost roughly the same as the factory installed one. If I had the Pro Power I would probably end up working around it.

I was also surprised by all the complaints. Primarily it seemed like people having issues with high load starts, or equipment without soft starts built in. It's a 15 or 20 amp breaker so if you have a table saw without a soft start it'll trigger it. I read about people running little AC units with a soft start though, and mini fridges. Not too bad for what it is imo.

Anything with a compressor SHOULD have a build in capacitor to aid in soft starting.

Looks like these trucks are finally moving.

Mine is shipped and expected July 22-28.

Is there still a way to track shipments by rail?
 
I'm curious... is yours being shipped by truck or train? Also... how long from your Built email to shipped? Just curious what the timeline is right now... Just got my built email this past monday...

Too bad you weren't able to get your deposit back. If you want to be a pain, you should watch for when it's delivered and then give it a week and call the dealership and tell them your ready to pick it up!!! The truck will be re-sold by then and you can say, "I'm excited to come get my new truck!" My bet is that they would offer you a refund of your deposit pretty quick.

Mine now shows built, but not shipped yet. It's been a journey for sure. I wouldn't do it again if I knew what it was goign to be like and how long it would take.

I didn't order the 2kw pro power because I had heard similar issues way back last October and November. It may have been more the noise issues I heard about then? But either way...

Love your new truck and love the color! I think you did well!

I am currently working night shifts and my phone was blowing up this morning. My ordered Tremor showed up today. Still glad I didn’t wait, My salesman was aware I got a different truck but still offered first in line. He was very apologetic about the whole situation and didn’t seem mad. Probably has it sold already. Lots of local dealers have been getting Inventory of Raptors, Tremors and Bronco’s. So it looks like Ford is trying to push these out of the field.Finally!!!

Nice! Love that color!

I am Curious if you ever got a “shipped” email?
 
She finally arrived today, a little over 8 months from Order. Loving it so far and I will post build progress in other threads. Ended up getting it shipped from Granger to CA via Secure Auto Shipping and highly recommend them if you’re also thinking of shipping truck from a distant dealership.

mind me asking how much to ship?
 
$2k for about 1500 shipping miles.
Now I'm mad that yours made it out of Dearborn and mine has not. Yours was built a week before mine.
