    I should have mine the first week of April. It's left the factory, on the way to the dealer. But I read the transport company takes time to even start moving because they'll wait for enough headed in the same direction to load a truck.

    I ordered mine at the end of January, it was built March 10th. ETA is March 30th, but I doubt the dealer will have it ready until the next week.

    It's six of one, half dozen of the other, really. I'd just order a spare set and keep them in the truck in case some monkey-handed tech snaps one doing a rotation or whatever.

    When I had a car I always used to park so that I had room to back up 3-4 feet so I had a short run on clear ground to build some momentum, and I never had trouble getting out of my spot if we had less than 24" of snow. As long as you keep some momentum going a FWD car has no problem bulling through a foot or more of fresh powder. It's if it gets a chance to settle for a day or two that you have problems. Or if you have to stop; then it can be tough to get moving again.
    But, I also always ran good snow tires.

    Me too, well...everything I wanted within my budget! Couldn't do a $60k MSRP on a loaded Lariat, and I skimped on the sunroof on my otherwise loaded XLT.

    I figured it's my first new truck, I'm spending $40ish on it, I might as well get it built the way I want.

    The only 2 things I didn't get was the smokers package and the side warning package. I dont like it in my work van, plus figured it would annoy the shit out of me in the woods

    Had plans years ago to get there and the weather crapped out. Honestly, I am in no condition (physically or domestically) to do so. Would have loved to about 6-10 years ago. :D

    Going back a few hours in conversation. Hubcentric rings - I highly suggest plastic. Only because if it does get stuck on your hub and won't come off then you can just break it off. Yes they break easier but they're easier to get off and will NOT corrode in place. However.. if you have a bad wheel bearing or run them on a track car they will melt.. ask me how I know....
