    If you uploaded your passport as ID when you did the arrivecan, it is linked when the border person scans your passport at the border. They then see your arrivecan has been done without having to ask you. I asked at the border here near my home a few months ago when they never asked for my arrivecan receipt.

      Update
      As I now have over 13K on the truck I though I would update for both towing and solo. Since the DEF failure the truck has been flawless. up to 22 MPG solo (20 average) 12-14 towing at speed

      High points LED headlights are a dream and well focused. Low beams have a very definite cut off point - great for fog. Cruse control is spot on. Rapid heat is wonderful with quick defrost of everything within a few minutes. Steering wheel heat is nice. Seats can be adjusted to fir me very well and having the memory feature is great. I disable the auto back on door opening as I found that quiet distracting and you needed to keep the area behind the seat clear. Cold starts (teens) flawless - maybe a few seconds delay. My old truck took up to 10 minutes to start and then be able to actually move. Steering - truck tracks tightly and is sensitive to steering input. Took me a bit to get used to it. E-Lockker works very sell too and engages very quickly - dash clearly indicates the process for the E locker and ESOF.

      Low - I have the 3:55 gearing with the e-locker. without the locker traction in snow or wet grass is really poor. Even with the locker. I got partially stuck at DW's folks place in Mississippi in wet soft grass. 4x4 ESOF works flawlessly (a High). I had an 03 (lemon law returned) in which it never seemed to work - got the manual in my 04. I Needed to engage and dis-engage it on the move (40 mph) in NM during heavy passing snow squeals when road suddenly iced over. Without it I was easily loosing traction on the slight grades(US 550 north of Cuba. Bed was mostly empty though - maybe 100 lbs. Stock tires are noisy. In heavy fog I did get a warning the collision avoidance had been deactivated. I cleaned the camera, had to restart, and things went back to normal. It could have been the camera was also dirty. Back up camera gets dirty quickly too.

      Otherwise I am pretty happy. I am still learning what all the switches do. Ford manual could be a bit better in identifying the location on the dash in the description of the symbol.

        Yoda Keith, glad you are enjoying the new truck. Some of the new creature comforts are nice (love my heated wheel as the aluminum accents will suck every BTU of heat out of the body through your hands).

        Some of the collision avoidance systems will throw from striping on the road, fog reflection of headlights, etc.

        And yes 2wd Diesel trucks will get stuck on grass with any amount of moisture, so 4wd is almost a MUST.
