It is? Sitting under it now having my coffee, looks like it's still at the same altitude to me. Hopefully the air pressure in your cranium may be keeping it up there lol.

Really? I guess I'll still take the advice of the gal who is a VP in the core electrical architecture division out in Dearborn with over 15 years under her belt at FMCO, who holds a masters degree from CMU.

It took a dozen trips to the service department over 7 months and it was finally resolved by them having a Ford electronics guru fly in who solved it.
And here we go again , because some relative said so . I’ll have my son get back to you with any issues .
Again? Interesting! I don't believe I've posted anything prior about a relative saying anything.

Hope your son enjoys his new truck!
Just a tip: Look at it, sit in it, but don't take it for a drive. 🙂
Hope all is well with you!

I had adaptive steering on my previous F350. For 2021 the adaptive steering was optional and I didn't think it was anything I'd miss so I ordered mine without. I really don't notice any difference from my 2017 to my 21... certainly not something I'd be willing to pay $1250 for.
My son dropped the adaptive steering awhile back on his order, he got a build date for the week of 9/20, and a VIN#. Just got an email this morning , truck is built , and will be delivered Oct 4-10 to the dealer. Happened pretty quick after the adaptive steering was dropped . His initial order was in April , so it was still nearly six months .
