2025 Tungsten Already Broken - Unreal

A dealership salesperson should be more knowledgeable in the brand they sell, sure their are 100's of variations but many features overlap. For instance blue cruise will function pretty much the same on an F150 as it does on a Ford Mustang. We are not talking about Spaghetti noodles but vehicles costing upwards of $100,000 so it is expected the sales person will be more knowledgeable.
And of all the Ford models; which one's come with Blue Cruise standard and which models is it an option on? Obviously I am playing devil's advocate a bit, but I just think people should set realistic expectations when dealing with any sales professionals.
 
That's a brilliant answer. (sarcastic post, please don't take it literally)
:)

I don't take anything too seriously. These sites are comprised of a myriad of opinions. I always say; somewhere in the middle lies the truth. :)
 
Me personally, I have no expectation of the salesperson to be knowledgeable in anything other than where the keys are for the vehicle I want to test drive; my experience in 2020 looking for my current truck bore that out.

Conversely, I don't expect reliable information from a forum aside from if they had a similar experience with an issue and how they resolved it or if a particular aftermarket product fit and worked satisfactorily. Unfortunately too many forum people don't know S about what they are talking about and simply repeat what someone else told them or seek confirmation bias and repeat that.

I needed a wheel detailing stand to polish the wheels on my car, found a few but most were $200. Found on for $59 that looked identical to the $200+ versions but it had negative reviews regarding assembly. Given most people go to Ikea and buy something then fail miserably ay assembling it, I ignored the reviews and bought it anyway. Took me 10 min to assemble it and it works perfectly. Point, too many forum people are like Ikea shoppers/assemblers.


OP, I'll buy your truck

hands down one of my favorite south park episodes. I rate people's life worthiness on whether or not they understand the "tree fiddy" reference LOL

The problem with the net is, most people are just regurgitating other peoples bad information. Lots of urban legends still floating around lol. You also have to take into consideration, the only people that generally come on and post, are the ones that are having issues. The other 99% of the population are out enjoying their whatever. There are a few smoking guns *cough* wagoneer *cough*, but for the most part; if you go looking for negative comments, that's exactly what you'll find.

The internet is like gold mining... there's plenty of nuggets but you have to sift through lots of dirt to get to them. Many people are incapable of ever finding those nuggets and get stuck with the dirt thinking they have gold.
 
Well, dealer called and said they're doing a final quality check. They can't find anything wrong, the code cleared and has not come back. So he thinks it's a "fluke". I'm remaining positive that's what it is. If the gremlins (there are others, I can't remember if I posted) persist I will request new batteries.

Looking forward to getting the truck back. Ceramic tints are done. I'll get a nice sealant and wax done over the weekend (i prefer regular waxing to ceramic coating), then at some point I'm ditching the OEM tono cover for a retrax pro.
 
Well, King approves. Got the seat cover installed so he doesn't destroy the nice leather. Weathertechs in.

I also included some lower photos so you can see the ride height better with the offroad package for those wondering. I never was able to find any pics online of the off road package and oem 22s

PS. In other news, the sub turned off again. Not sure what's going on there. I'll probably discuss swapping it out for an aftermarket sooner or later

Interesting… Good looking Cane you have there.
For weathertechs… what kind of floor mats came in factory?
My limited are all rubber with carpet snap in inserts, which I leave in until it snows.

Plenty of coverage front and back seats…. What kind of mats does the Tungsten package come with?
 
Nice. Obviously subjective, but off road group paired with 22" wheels looks really odd, and counterintuitive lol.

Oh I agree, but this is my daily work truck that will be also used lightly on ranches. It's more rocky terrain and steep inclines where I go.

Id buy the TRX if I wanted to offroad for real in a truck. Those 24s are sitting all over dealer lots. Could probably snag a final edition for 20k off.

Still, I'll probably throw some beefier tires on it. Maybe some 305s, not sure what height I can fit without rubbing. My goal is to have the mullet of trucks...street queen in the front with some offroad in the back

If you zoom in you'll see the own Matt's. The weather tech are only in the pic of the back seat. I hadn't put the front in yet.

Thanks on the Cane. Almost 2. Got his championship a while back. Solid dog, protective when I need him to be.

If you want closeups of the OEM mats I'll get some pics for you. Basically a blue carpet mat with copper colored piping

I'm pretty sure you could fit a 35 12.50 22 under that thing with the ORG. Definitely a 33x12.50. That would look really good and still fit the street king/mullett bill. :D

I’m not thrilled with the Bass in my Limited level A either. Some times it sounds real good then other times it sounds tinny and just the high trebles with low bass. It’s kinda frustrating. It’s sure not the nose system I was used to. Seems like the bass has to be turned all the way up on the adjustment to me. Something’s not quite right.

My system is crazy. Bass and all, I haven’t touched it either so it’s stock settings.

Reading up now on leveling kits and 35s.I know for sure 33s x 12.50 will comfortably fit without and will probably give me close to stock performance . I might end up going that right just to give the wheels a little more meat

that's Interesting for sure, I played with the settings last night a little more. it seems the more I raise the treble slider the more bass I get which is weird to me. then the vocals seem too loud. I'm used to cranking the Bose system and the rear window would shake with the deep bass and automatically set the sliders where I would have for that system and this one doesn't appear to work that way. they really need 5 slider levels on the EQ on this thing.
