Joe,

I wouldn't recommend that you tow your Redwood any further than the end of your driveway! Haha!

Is it the Lightening?

Hey Danny,
No, it is just a 2022 F150 with the 5.0..

Congrats on your new purchase. Many are still waiting for the semi-conductor chips, so I guess you're lucky to have placed the order when you did. I've owned Ford trucks all of my life. My latest is a 2017 F-350 Platinum that pulls the RW. I'll admit I'm biased, most truck owners are, but I think Ford had been making the some of the best looking trucks. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed with the "new look" 2022 F-150. I'm not saying it's bad looking, but the body style has barely changed. I remember looking at some of the prototype sketches in early 2020 and 2021. They looked exciting, aerodynamic and somewhat aggressive. Ultimately, somebody at Ford chose to remain conservative because the 2022 virtually looks like it's predecessors. To me, Ford dropped the ball here, especially since Dodge and Chevy have new modern styles and they've gained in sales. Yes, looks do matter!

Very nice truck there and can’t wait to see you tow the RW with it😂😂
Strange that I just saw this post as we ordered a new tow vehicle last night.
Now we have a 4-6 month wait now. Char missed the 3500 Denali too much!!!

Hey Steve, will that still be. 2022, or 23? Ford closed the order banks for 2022 Super Duty

The trucks are coming through minus a bunch of options due to chip shortages and supply constraints .

Massage seats, fifth wheel prep kit, spray in bed liner, auto start stop. The list goes on..
Andy just got his 2020 F450 and I believe was lucky and got everything

Joe,
Yes, it should be a 22. Dealer had placed 3 orders a month ago so instead of 8 months to wait, dealer said order has been acknowledged to build which means 2 months less wait time. No vin has been put on it, so once a vin I can track it.
Had every option Char wanted except she wanted Coco interior and this one has black.
How is the RW treating you. All the bugs worked out?

Ford truck guy · 05-29-2022, 02:51 PM

Happy Sunday ALL!

Steve, i have MOST of the bugs worked out, with some very minor issues as all RV’s have. Redwood has been fantastic for us, we’re living in it now as we are having an addition put on the stick and bricks we expect to be out of it late July..
it’s stored in our driveway plugged into water and 58 electric, so it was a no-brainer about a month ago when they broke through the back exterior walls to move in.
