Sure they can if they have any nylon cord in them. They will work out by driving it several miles and getting them warmed up.

This is my my first post. I will tell you guys a funny story. My whole life I grew up as a chevy guy and my dad owns a BMW dealership. Two years ago my dad for the first time in my life let me pick out my first truck, it was always get something off the lot, might I ad something non BMW and used which meant what ever used truck we had traded for that I could get away with because anything cool had to stay on the lot. So I go and drive a new z71 the only thing that I had ever wanted. I was so disappointed. So I got a candy red fx4 I loved this truck. I sold it the first week of October and ordered my new race read fx4 with premium sound luxury pack 20s and everything else I could get on it. I have a set of 33" Mickey Thompsons and a 2 inch front and 1 inch rear lift kit sitting at the store and still no truck I am so mad! My truck has been ordered now for about 10 weeks, did I mention I am a BMW dealer and can get a new BMW from Germany in less than 6 weeks. It has a vin was built in Kansas and all my dealer can tell me is TBD. Can anyone just say something to make me fill any better.

Yes, you may have put in an order 10 weeks ago. But the 2010's were being built/sold at that time. When you order that early it is more like you are putting yourself on a pre order list. The 2011 startup date was scheduled to start on November 22nd. http://www.phharval.com/images/stori...ordUSBOSU2.pdf The clock doesn't start ticking until that time. So it has only been about 3 weeks. You made a good choice on choosing the F-150. It will be worth the wait.

Not to mention after the trucks are built Ford "impounds" them for quality control reasons. Just to make sure no problems crept up when the line went live.

For anyone in the Houston area, several area Ford dealers are showing '011's on the lot. All I see on-line are 3.7's and 5.0's. I may drop by Ron Carter this weekend and try to test drive one of those 3.7's...

Thinks for the info guys. I am just so excited to here that 5.0 I don't know what to do. I Was the first order in the state of Alabama and I just figured it would be here by now. My dealer has had the vin for about 3 or 4 weeks. I should get it next week. When I do I will be sure to post some picks with the mickeys on it.

First ones hit here on Thursday of last week....that's when mine came in. Big stores in Houston have many. A couple have 6.2L models on the lots as well....but they are few and far between. My truck hit the web site as being there 8 days before it was actually delivered so don't go by the site itself.

My local dealer has had 3 '11s on the lost for about 1 week and 3 days now. An FX4, Lariat, and XLT. I checked out the Ingot Silver FX4 Lux Supercab 5.0L.

I must say i'm loving the mesh lines of the new Lariat grill and the black heads/tails on FX4!

Good to know. What dealer did you get your '011 from? I didn't get out this past weekend (too much work). I have all next week off, though, and will probably spend a day hunting down a 3.7 SCrew to test drive.
