Default DANG...Ford is fast building 2015 F-150's

I ordered my new 2015 F-150 Lariat Super Crew on August 10th and the Dealer submitted the order on August 12th. Dealer said that it would take about 10-12 weeks to arrive as that's been the Dealers normal turn-around time on their F-150 orders. Well, the Dealer called me Saturday morning to tell me that my truck was delivered to them on Friday (9/11). That's 4 weeks to order, build and deliver...DANG, that's fast. I pick it up Saturday 9/19.

I'm more than ecstatic...I'm "Happier than a pig in a mud puddle"...

Thanks. Been a couple years in the "waiting to order" process ever since I first saw the F-150 Atlas. I've already had a couple of people ask if I'm selling my van. To which I said "NO", the van and I have too many miles together, it'll be another 3 years or so before I let it go. Especially since I just spent the time and energy installing new rocker panels on it. Here's a wet picture of my new ride.

Bronze Fire Lariat with grey interior, 2WD w/3.15 locking rear, 3.5 Ecoboost, 36 gal fuel tank, Sony 700 Watt w/10 speakers...

Thanks...

My last new truck was my 1988 Ranger S/C 4x4 XLT. I really liked that truck, but after 14 years, I didn't need it anymore. It did have some darn comfy seats in it. And with the front and rear 3.73 L/S axles in it, it would go where it was pointed on and off road.

Well, finally got it home this Friday. It now has a whopping 49 miles on it. Will probably take me about a year to find and figure everything out.

Well, after being stored from September 22-April 4 for the winter, I finally uncovered the truck and have been driving it for the past couple of days. Actually have 287 miles racked up on it. Getting it ready for a southwardly trip. Will rack up about 3,500 miles on the trip. Really curious what the mileage will be as a 4x2 with the 3.5 TT and 3:15 gears. Should be broke in by the time it arrives to our first Florida destination. Will post my down to Florida and return from Florida trip. Along with the total round trip info. Have a few friends/family stops on the way and return, so that will be factored into the results. Will be interesting to see how far a 36 gallon tank will go.
