Tell your father in-law not to worry..... he can always add a badge for cheap.....

This will make him feel much better....

Nothing on my tailgate. The sides have different badges and it has different colors than other Super Duty trucks.
I know its a King Ranch and anyone that doesn't can look at my seats or the center console and know pretty quick. If they still aren't convinced then they can look at the sticker

I'm thinking they still are trying to put "the quality in before the name goes on!"

I would look at comparable trucks and see if they have a badge.

I bought a new Mustang off the showroom floor with 18 miles on it. First wash, I noticed a whole bunch of inconsistencies (rear badges missing, VIN number tags missing, scratches on rear glass, etc.). Dealer stated I wrecked it. I told him not wrecked and repaired in 4 days. Turns out this Mustang had another vehicle dropped on it in transit. The carrier repaired it, though not right. Bottom line Ford (not the dealer) took the Mustang back and refunded 200% of my money. That V8/5-speed was sure fun to drive.

Ford use to have a rule for all Ford vehicles - blue oval badges front and rear. I found this out due to the badge issue above.

Wow! A 200% refund! Sure wish I could find a new, "wrecked" vehicle to buy!

200% may sound like alot, but the hassles and time were sure a headache. I did not want to take it to court. After the Ford rep heard the name of the attorney I was going to contact he settled very quickly.

Lets pretend that you bought this Mustang back in 89'... I remember my buddy buying one loaded for 15k.

So what you are telling us is that Ford gave you 30k for your mustang... Because "the Ford rep heard the name of the attorney you were going to contact"?

You amuse me more than most.

I wish. Ford gave me back all my money (my downpayment and the 12 payments I made before they settled with me). Double that.

Amusing? I don't think so. Good thing you weren't there.

I believe that most felt like you implied that you got double the amount of the vehicle...

Yep - that's what I thought. But I'm not seeing an "intent to deceive", just a misunderstanding.

And, I can believe there was a bit of a "fight" over this.
