I don't like the complexity either but the new chassis and engine is fantastic. My 2015 is averaging 17 mpg which is 3mpg better than my 05 Cummins.

Weather is getting nice and we are going in a trip soon. We had the nose cap repainted due to the normal fading issues and I finally got around to adjusting the hitch height. The front is now about 1.75" higher than the rear and I have roughly 7.5" of clearance between the tailgate and the trailer. I'm much happier.

I've been running with 6" of clearance for 3 seasons now and have had zero issues. Just thinking you could drop the front down 1.5" and make it level and still have enough bed clearance.

That's all of the dropping I can get out of it. Had to "modify" enough as it is to get it done. Compared to where I started and the obstacles I've had to work around, I'm satisfied. Plus we have a large dip through a creek better we have to cross. Any less clearance and I will start hitting the tailgate into the trailer.

Awesome setup sir, I also wanted to give you an update on my new 2016 6.4L, I did order one with the 4.10 gears in the Big Horn and last I heard it was at the last rail drop off waiting for the dealer pick up. In any day now they should be giving a call and I will post pics.

Man I can,t believe it, the dealer call me today said that my truck came in yesterday and as the driver was taken it off he put a scratch on it, on the top so the dealer told me that he was going to send me pics of it to see if I still want it. He said that they going to fix it or I can order another one or just back out and get my money back. What should I do?

Here is the bad news again.

Personally for that little ding I would have had them fix it and throw some extras your way for the hassle.

... and have them fix the ding. Probably the transporter co. insurance will cover the majority of the claim.

Dealers can get a new allocation and be moved to the front of the line when they have a delivery that gets damaged in transport.

Having worked in a Ford dealership body/paint shop for almost 40 years, I would have no problem having them repair that minor ding. Although I can not speak for the dealership you are dealing with, when we did a repair it came with a written lifetime warrenty on the work performed. That is a better warrent than the factory provides. iIf this unit is equipted as you ordered it, have them do the repair, then make the decision as to your next step. To me waiting a week for the repair vs an unknown amount of time for a replacement would be a better choice. Who is to say the replacement may not arrive with damage ?

I am surprised they even told you. They are always repairing new cars that acquire road damage and the like.

I used to be a new car inventory manager and I can assure you, it happens all the time.
