Good work man, seeing alot of numbers for new rigs that are just painful...and surely there are those who can afford to do whatever, but I wouldn't have bought mine without the huge rebates and dealer discount....
Dude, if you pulled that off right now when inventory is low you did fantastic, was that with trade and down payment ?? I thought I had just about everyone beat with black Friday 2019 $25,600 XLT 4x4....
That Aukey line of Cams seems like pretty good bang for the buck....now you have me thinking, not for my ranger cuz its my off road rig but my F-150 for sure...
I am 90% in the habit of hitting the stock button when I get in my ranger, but the 10% time i forget and it shuts the motor off I get angry....still contemplating a permaFIX.... plus reading these posts keeps me entertained ?
Thats about the average around here lately for discount/rebate, and its a hard pill to swallow for some, but I think we are months out from inventory being what it was pre-covid, so I feel your pain. Look at your surrounding states, do your due diligence in research and especially phone calls...

Id be happy with a brake pedal that applied the brakes, im trained in double application of the brake pedal to get the same response i get out of my 13' F-150.

Yeah Im eating crow on my predication that truck prices would plummet if the Covid mess continued, turns out it was just the opposite, manufacturing all but stopped for 2 solid months and now there appears to be an inventory vacuum with demand. Some of us got 10k off XLT's for the black Friday...
