That is a beaut! And a nice, thorough review too. Thumbs up! One question: If I heard you correctly, you mentioned the chip shortage meaning the multi-contour adjustable massaging seating option won't come with this currently. Are you aware of any other features that would normally come with this, either standard or options, that will not currently because of the chip shortage? And are any or all of those things that can be added after the fact if in 6 months or a year or so those chips become available again? Another way of asking this last question, are all aspects of the features except for the applicable chip(s) still installed so the chip could simply be added later and the feature turned on? I hope so. Thanks.
We appreciate the kind words! There are some options like the massage seats as well as auto start-stop, blue cruise and some driver assistance features that are available for a credit when the removal is optioned. You can still option the truck with it but it won’t get built because of the constraint at the factory. As far as we know the option to adding it back in later is not available which is why Ford is giving a credit amount when the removals are selected.
@@MacPhee_Ford It's too bad. This vehicle, fully loaded, blacked as this is, is exactly the one I want. Without some of those features though, I am not as sure. Wonder how long until those chips and as a result those features will be available again. I would spray the inside of the bed, but otherwise, this is the one. Beautiful truck.
@@Nate-zy5ce Its definitely a shame that they are removing features from these higher end trucks, the credits they give for the lack of options are pretty sad considering the price of the options
Just ordered yesterday, Lariat Sports package with black appearance, 3.5L giving a Dual Blck Tip exhaust too, sweet! I didn't go for FX4, as I needed soft riding.
@@MacPhee_Ford yes, and in my case they could not guarantee delivery for FX4, so I picked the 3.5 Hybrid engine with black appearance which was guaranteed delivery on time. I also compared how many times I actually took the truck off road, then decided on Lariat Sports Package instead, they had it in stock :)
@Aaron Cutler I ordered 2022 Platinum Powerboost 02/09/2022 and latest update is built 08/01/2022, granted first build said 06/13/2022. Patiently, impatiently waiting.
The headlight housing and fender badges should be blacked out too. Defeats the purpose. Blackout package with chrome and satin isn’t a true blackout package. Don’t know why they can’t get this right considering they do it properly on the superduty.
The headlight housing is different from a regular F-150. Similar to raptor, like the tail lights. The fender badges are also different, not black, but darkened. Sort of a dark chrome.

Great spec! The FX4 package doesn't seem to change the ride quality much anyway but optioning the AT tires will be much better off road or in winter.

@@RVTRAILER There ya go!
Beautiful
Nice looking truck. I wish Ford would make the key fob smaller.
Never thought of that. I'm sure a key redesign will come eventually. Or maybe no key at all.
@@MacPhee_Ford no key at all or key card would be great for sure
I love that this doesn’t have those ugly shoulder pads on the seats!
When was this truck ordered versus when it was delivered?
Hard to say as this specific truck was a dealer traded unit

Its not a true black appearance, the platinum sign would be black also
and the headlights would be blacked out.
