I saw @AzureRanger at the dealer, here is his new car.

I think they really messed up in the paint booth...

Ha! But seriously, first impression is I like it but the metallic isn’t obvious. I haven’t seen it detailed yet and it is very cloudy here. Someone else said the metallic will be obvious in the sun. Here’s the one quick pic I have before detailing.

I've been debating on that as well. I feel like they look naked without a sticker, but I'm not in love with the Tremor one.

I'm really not in love with any of the stickers that I've seen to replace it either....

I really do love the bed side stamp on the tundra trd pro though....

I think it's because it's subtle, but also in your face.

Corporate drone. Dilbert's world is alive & well.
Yea my manager said the same thing lol. Probably why it hasn't been marked up. I just txted my sales guy to let him know I have to back out. I'll check the website again in a few days to see if the price went up ?
Again... man that really sucks.

Ok folks....just got back from the dealer. No more pics because it was dark when I left. BUT, I will say that after detailing, the AGM really sparkled! The metallic is definitely there.....I've only seen it under some outdoor lights at the dealership, but I have zero regrets about my choice (other than the $995 cost of course). I'll post some more pics tomorrow....still supposed to be cloudy, but at least it's clean and shiny. Hoping all of you get your trucks soon!

Checked tracking for S&G's because I got another email from Ford about a delay. The "built" dot has a date of 12/7 (yesterday) but there's no check mark? Final inspections maybe?

I did some thinking last night and I may sell my R32 so I can get the Ranger. I rarely drive the R32 as I'm afraid of getting smacked. Parts for those cars are damn near impossible to get these days or are priced like vibranium ? lol.

The check mark in Built won't show up until it moves to Shipped.

For those of you waiting for your Azure Grey trucks......here's a few shots of mine that I picked up yesterday. It's covered in dew, so that distorts the color a bit, and the camera just doesn't pick up the metallic. Enjoy.
