ok here's my delema truck I orderd will be built week of 12/5 deliver the week of 19th, dealer has the same(almost) truck in stock now, biggest difference mine 20" wheels ,audiophile with Satelite radio, truck on lot no 20's, no audiophile but moonroof, tow, reverse sensors,and bed extender.I can get the truck on the lot for $8 month more than the one I ordered. I'm not sure which one to get. liked the idea that I ordered but the deal is greaton the lot truck, list's for 800 more so I think that is the better deal what do you guys think, thanks

 

The only things I wish I got on my truck that I do not have are the reverse sensors and moonroof......I miss my moonroof on my sport trac....

 

I got the 20's, moonroof, and sensors. All were worth the wait.

Does anyone know if your eligible for the keep it simple plan on an order?

 

teknics, you can use the keep it simple plan on an order, if you haggle you can still get a better price than the simple plan price

 

Well I got a quote back in early October on x-plan. But the keep it simple is still way under x-plan. I figured I had some more wiggle room. Guess I will go order this weekend now!

 

Generally on a ordered truck, you can take advantage whatever program is going on at the time of delivery. Most dealers will not guarantee you will get the current rebates or deals as they cannot control when your truck will arrive at the dealership. It is a gamble; most of the programs in the past couple of years have to move the vehicles in inventory. Just hope sales do not pick up and the Ford sponsored deals continue or get better.

As far as the three options the inventory truck does not have, they can all be added plus you can get the choice of aftermarket wheels and stereos that in many cases are nicer than factory. Have the dealer get them installed at their actual cost as part of the initial purchase and be happy.

 

Inline,

I have been having a horrendous time finding the color truck I want with a majority of the options I want. I am willing to cut back some, but two major dealbreakers for me are a sunroof and black leather.

Coming from a 2002 DSG Harley to an FX4 - I think I can be picky

I found a few trucks, but the one I found with a sunroof did not have leather and the other ones either did not or had too few options for my taste.

 

Just got a call from my dealer, the 2006 I ordered arrived this morning.

'06 Lariat Supercab 4x4
Smokestone over Az. Beige
Black Leather Captains Chairs
3.73LS
CD-6
Moonroof
Power Rear Slider
Reverse Sensors
Trailer Tow
Polished Stainless Steel Tubular Boards

I have an x-plan PIN and the dealer told me that I will be $300.00 below simple pricing, (not including rebates).

 

Man I wish I could find a truck on a lot already. All dealer searches today found flint leather instead of black with the sunroof.

And I doubt if I order one now it would be delivered by Jan 3rd. I hope they extend.

 

Went to the dealer this morning and saw my new truck. It was parked along with a bunch of new utility company trucks, so I could not get any good pictures.

I will be picking it up tomorrow, but in the mean time, here are the shots that I could get:

 

Well, I got a call on Friday about 2:30... and it was my sister (who works at the dealer). She says "Guess what is here!". Needless to say, I was suprised, because we didn't expect it for about another week! It is everything I hoped it would be.

The Black Leather interior is beautiful. The seats have an awesome textured look to them (in the middle). I'll have to get a good picture of that. The Audiophile system is definitely worth the money as well (I love the idea of not messing with an aftermarket stereo system). Also, the 20's are killer!

I put a few shots up in the gallery I created for it. The shots were taken yesterday while we were out shopping. You'll notice I parked a ways out in the parking lot so there wouldn't be much around it (makes for better pictures). These aren't great shots as far as the surrounding goes, but I'll get more later.
