I'm picking up my Limited SPP tomorrow. Fingers crossed I don't ru. Into issues like that. I feel like I've read similar experiences from others on the Timberlines. Wonder what's going on there.Well gang, my Timberline 501a arrived yesterday exactly two months after ordering. Went to pick up today, super excited upon seeing it sitting out front, and walked out empty handed. Everything was great and as-expected except for one thing- the front seats. The quality of workmanship is so poor I just could not hand over $83k for something that should not pass quality control. The seat appears to be and feels to be missing foam in some areas. There are loose areas where the leather is puckered. Sorry I’m not doing a better job describing it. Basically Picture what would happen if you cut open the seat, cut out a section of foam, and put the leather cover back on. The salesman acknowledged but shrugged it off as “hand crafted” … laughable. Manager seemed not surprised.
So… back to the drawing board for me and the Super Duty lives on.
Side note funny story… my kids love our F250- we are talking several days of major tears and tantrums leading up to today. The sadness this morning when we had them say goodbye to the truck was painful to watch as a parent (sounds so ridiculous I know). So although the joke was that the arrival of the Timberline was early Christmas for me, it ended up being early Christmas for the kiddos when a couple hours later I rolled back into the driveway in the superduty.

That really sucks. Did you take pics of it?
I did not take pics. BTW is yours stone blue? I found a stone blue Limited in stock a few hours away that I am going to look at. I am hoping stone blue looks more gray (like it does in almost every photo I;ve seen).

Yes, mine is stone blue. It flip flops, sometimes it looks blue like in the photo, sometimes green and sometimes grey.
