Don't be sorry I like them all. Which red? The dark one or arrest me red? No snow here yet and if it's all the same to you, you can keep it on that side of the province. My son is talking about going to Ottawa for teachers college and I've tried to warn him that they get REAL winters there not like here.

Everything is great with the truck except for a few appearance issues. The door handle and a few scuffs on the mouldings that I want replaced. Just waiting for the parts to come in. My 2003 had the 4.6 and this one has a 5.4. I'm surprised at the power it has. A little slow off the start but once it's rolling it gets with the program pretty nicely for a full sized truck. I painted those replacement parts for the mirror reflectors to match the wheels and tried them on. I think they look fantastic but I took them back off for the winter.

The dealer in town here overnighted the parts for me( they know me as I've purchased a lot of parts there ) and I went to the local body shop supply store to get them to match paint to the wheels. I tried them on in the black and they looked fine but I wanted to try the argent color. As I said I love the look and I'll put them back on in the spring and leave them.

Christmas Has Come Early!
I went to my dealer this morning to drop my ownership papers for my license plates and my salesman greeted me at the door. Want to see your new truck he said. Just came in this morning. No pictures yet, I wasn't prepared. I will take some pictures when I pick it up, that may be the only time it will be clean enough. First extended cab that I have seen and it looks great. I hope those that are still waiting get theirs in time for Christmas. Put a big bow on it.

I wonder if SCREWBUILDER can tell me if mine is actually rolling down the line today. It is sterling grey metallic vin #1FTEW1C81AKB44772.
SCREWBUILDER when will you stop producing for the holidays? I hope that I get it before Christmas or at least before Dec 31 so I can take the tax deduction fromt he irs.

Well I contacted my dealer and he said that the VIN is correct. Then he told me that it would be coming down the line on Monday Dec. 14th which is today (when he originally said build the week of 12/07). I patiently waited until midday and tried the window sticker again and the same old error pops up.

Fdaf scam!!!!
Ford Dealer Advertising Fund showed up today when I went to sign my paperwork for my anticipated FX2. Well when I told my dealer I wanted invoice-incentives, he busted out his invoice and as I was going over item by item, I noticed something that was not on the Window Sticker or on Edmunds.Com. The charge is labeled FDAF/LMAF which is a whopping $503.00! I asked what the hell was that and the General Sales Manager said it was a charge passed on from FORD to the customer for their marketing and advertising! I was like what??? I don't want to pay that! I walked away and they tried to tell me that EVERY customer WILL pay for it no matter who I went to. So I ask you guys, please help me get rid of this charge! I beg you to give me pointers or if you even bought this thing. Thanks.

From the looks of it that assessment and holdback are built into the retail price as they are only itemized in the invoice column. The dealer may negotiate into holdback, but the FDAF/LMDA assessment gets paid to Ford no matter what the dealer sells the vehicle for.
I negotiated a bottom line price including all fees etc included, so I didn't sweat what was itemized. And like you my truck was ordered, not off of the lot.
