Been holding off on buying a new vehicle for a couple years now. Money is no problem but I'm still shell-shocked that a daily driver 1/4 ton extended cab truck with 4x4, locking diff, and a decent set of options is going to cost me $35k. Inflation is what it is. Enough whining...
I've done my research here over the past year. Test drove all the mid-size trucks. Dealer said they will honor X-Plan and delivery is about 90 days.
Final few questions before I put down a deposit:
I've done my research here over the past year. Test drove all the mid-size trucks. Dealer said they will honor X-Plan and delivery is about 90 days.
Final few questions before I put down a deposit:
- Why is there no 2023 X-Plan pricing on fordpartner.com? Dealer says I should put together a 2022 build online (since there's no '23 build tool on the Ford website) and just bring that in. Will they break-down the X-Plan formula for me at time of deposit, showing me invoice prices on everything? Or do I have to run the numbers myself to keep them honest? What do I get in writing when I put down the deposit?
- Is there any dealer-installed option, either standard across Ford dealers or typical of dealers generally (noting I haven't bought a new car in 20+ years), that's worth considering rolling-into the purchase? Or should I just expect upsell rip-offs and plan to say no to anything that's not on my build?
- I do need a trailer brake controller. But I understand it's not part of the factory tow package but also not listed as a 'dealer installed option' on the 2023 Order Guide pdf. Any other surprise dealer-installed options like this?
