I believe FE is being bulit and shipped. I'm not sure there is a timeline benefit to sticking with BM at this point. Very possibly BM is a quicker option, but I think FE is either the same timeline, or worth the now minor wait
I had a VIN assigned and the 8 steps opened, but they lost my truck. :crying: It didn't make it on the load headed to Bellevue and instead went the wrong direction. So MY truck is going to be some other lucky person's new vehicle - and I have to wait for them to find me another one. :angry:
I...
My guide called. I missed the call, so he sent a text. I just texted back "Wow!" and my phone rang 30 seconds later.
No email. I just now checked to be sure... and found I've been sitting on a PBA - with 3 email reminders - since April 20. ???Oops!!
They won't make my window, but this weekend I've been assigned a VIN, so I'm calling it close enough to make me happy. ? And I've got FE interior, which has been a huge question mark regarding delivery timeline. Sorry for anyone that's slipping, but seems like they are making progress!
In April I came back from a 3000 mile trip and had a blowout on a new cargo trailer. 10:00 on Saturday night, trying to get over a mountain pass before the coming snow and like an idiot - no spare. The trailer didn't come with one and I hadn't managed to "get around" to picking one up (new...
I personally am not interested in being without a spare. It just seems like you could pick up a spare and wheel for well under $800 - because who cares if it matches?. I ordered it anyway, mostly because it's one less thing I need to think about and it comes with some needed hardware (or so I...
Spoke with my guide today, specifically about the PBA process. Why did R1S configurations with OC interior get a PBA, when they are clearly not getting a vehicle? I'm not sure I understand the answer, but my guide tells me that "configuration locked" is essentially the same as a PBA - for all...
How about whether or not $800 makes sense for 20"? The tire will not be a problem, but will it be easy enough to find a rim? I don't have any idea what the bolt hole pattern is. It doesn't bother me that it won't match. I don't plan on bringing it out anyway - and can certainly tolerate...
Personally I would like that. Perhaps we could start to make sense of the different messages we seem to be getting. Right now things seem inconsistent, but we do not know if it's just an inconsistency between guides, or if the information is changing.
However it seems there's been a reluctance...
Exactly... who knows. My guide told me I surely would be "the first" to get a configuration with Forest Edge. I don't know if he intended it to be literal (which would of course be a line of horse manure), but I did take it to mean I should be relatively early in line, having a 2018 order. That...
Yes, I think it's been a constant question of whether or not they are just batching or actually having problems. Regardless of the reason, they get no such free pass in not calling this a "delay". You can't tell people with Ocean Coast that they're going to get a truck in March to April, not...
I'm not entirely sure the word the guide used was "announcement", but even if he did, I didn't take it to mean like a press release or something major. Just some form of communication. A statement like a tweet or an email... an update of some sort.
I specifically asked my guide this question, since I was very leery to make any changes to my configuration before a guide assignment, fearing it might cause my timeline to slip. He said you should absolutely make whatever changes you really intend. That allows the magic to happen (computer...
