I agree dealers and Ford are going to be in a world of hurt with the interest rates and greedy practices the last few years are starting to catch up with them. And honestly Jim Farley stinks

Congratulations on your purchase and being able to get what you wanted!
I have a whole host of product videos on my youtube channel in my signature that I keep adding to all the time. There are many different product installation videos, across a wide variety of topics, from ditch lights, fog lights and light bar, to limb risers, interior storage and vehicle protection. I plan to be recording another 5 install videos today, and there are always links to the products in all of the video descriptions.
Let the modification begin!

Congratulations. I'm like you. Canceled my reservation very early on and waiting for the right one to turn up. Checking the local lots yesterday. The Ford dealer had two, a non SAS BB 4 door soft top at MSRP. And a 4 door Badsquatch soft top at 2500 over MSRP. Prices are coming down a bit in my area. Still looking for a 2 door.

Loving the look. Very niceIf you keep the steelies, you can go 285/75R16E. The 33" fit perfect with no rub!
.
Congrats! Had an early res but canceled and picked up a JKUR. Now that is gone and have been looking locally but they all want ADM. Found a customer canceled order in MI, 2023 BD, 2.7, MIC, SAS, basically what I originally reserved for MSRP. Flying out on Friday to pick it up and drive 13 hours home. Cant wait!

When you do find one direct message me I can hook ya up with a X-plan saves a little money if the dealer will honor it.
When I was looking before placing an order in Michigan, almost all the dealers I found would honor A plan on an order. If it was in stock unit due to cancellation or what ever they would not. Ended up ordering from local desler and they were great. The price protection was taken right off the top, and A plan was honored.
now I got two calls from those dealers I called a year ago asking if I’m still looking lol.

1st ... CONGRATS!!!!!
The Base has a certain appeal to it, beyond the value pricing.
Closest dealer here adds about $7000 in lift, wheels and tires to the Base and Big Bends and then marks them up $20K+ . No exaggeration.
A set of Black Diamond Steelies painted the same color as the Base steelies would be sweet and hold a better selection of tires.
But yeah, wheels and tires ... no lift needed, at least not immediately.

The issue with the steelies is the width. a 285 is about as wide as you'd want to go, but otherwise I would have ran them.The stealies are a thing of beautylol actually would be bad if ford put actually off road tires on them.

Here's my before and after:
285s are definitely the more popular choice around here for the base steelies. But I’d suggest you consider 255/85r16. They’re within spec for the width of the steelies, and they look more classic/timeless IMO. Plus, they’re a tiny bit taller (actually 33”) than the 285s.
I for one am happier the dealer ate a loss for once!
That looks great. Did you need to lift the truck at all to prevent rubbing?285s are definitely the more popular choice around here for the base steelies. But I’d suggest you consider 255/85r16.
