So there is a nugget of wisdom here - as long as 1 idiot is willing to pay it, dealers will keep asking it. The buyers that overpay are responsible for the perpetuation of the stupid markups we see.
Dealer isn't off the hook, but the buyers paying over are making it worse.
You're right...
Yep. Totally understood what you were picturing. We would just zip tie the plug to a random part of the grill when we installed them. So from that point of view I'm impressed that they bracketed it and put a nice cover on it.
And that is what you should be picturing, but it's covered and on a bracket.
Not my pic (found via google) as I haven't been outside yet... but you get the idea. Nobody would likely know what it's for. Could be just an air hose based on the cover.
I mean, nobody is gonna know unless I tell them I guess. It was on the truck already.
There are places in CA that get cold enough to warrant one, just not usually the part of CA that I live in.
You don't always get the option to pick your options. They are a very nice, thick, textured vinyl at least.
Nor did I until seeing it here. It has a nice bracket and cover for the plug, which is way better than the ones we used to install and zip tie to the grille. I might have to seek out...
I will be good... I will be good... I will likely not be good.
Onboard air is for sure in the near future.
Going to use them on the tuner here in a bit. Got some bonus points coming in as well.
Park in a very sunny spot on a hot day and wait for them to warm up. Go slowly.
You absolutely...
I did some little stuff the morning after getting it home - stubby antenna, screen protector for the center stack (my 4Runner got destroyed), hitch insert that I've had on the last three trucks, center console organizer tray, dog hammock...
Pretty sure I am not gonna do a ton to this truck. The...
Got the tint done today, and then pulled the stickers off. I need to de-residue, but I think it looks great. Bit of the stealth action.
Pulling the decals off gave me some PTSD flashbacks to doing decals on the race cars. I don't need to do that again.
150 miles on the ODO.
Thanks! It was my first choice, then it was my second choice, then I ordered Shelter Green, then I found this one. Stoked. It really looks great, but someone needs to explain grays to Ford.
It's great when it all works out like that. Technically this was $5 under MSRP - a request I made so I...
Got tired of waiting for an order and circumstances changed so went back on the hunt Sunday. Found a local 2025 still at a dealer. It had a few things I didn’t want (graphics and a block heater), but was still cheaper at MSRP than the 26 I had on order.
Long story short, I snagged it at MSRP...
Yeah, I understand that, which is why asked. OP states their dealer does not have an allocation, but they ordered anyway. Seems a weird way to just do nothing. But what do I know?
