Fell off the fence - AKA - New Truck Day!
#16
it was 47.2k on the sticker, 35.9 after rebate, before trade, +TTL. This one had about ~700 miles on it at delivery.
I was talking to a different dealer, that had a '10 with almost the exact same options, but no nav, and 6000 miles (Grounded Demo) and he was asking about 34.8k. I figured the 5k fewer miles + nav was worth $1100.
Got my Truck from Planet Ford, up in Spring Tx. Shawn Burns is Da Man!

Also - did the "Diamond Bird Mod" (re-calibrate gas pedal) last night before I left work. Very nice! Now when I give the gas a quick stomp, the motor gives me a nice ROMP! Nice to feel the motor torque off the line now, without having to go WOT.
My last truck was a '97. Boy has Ford come a long way since then. This truck is smoother, quieter, handles better, has more power, it is just a MUCH BETTER truck all around.
Loving it!

That's a good looking truck. I almost got the exact same thing, color and all, but the dealer refused to go below invoice so I walked and got a 2011 EB instead. Incentives or not, I won't pay full invoice on last years stock. That is one nice looking ride though, and I'm sure it's going to treat you well.
Enjoy, and cheers

As I understand it, it re-calibrates the skinny peddle, so the computer knows where 100% really is. From my end, it gives the motor some kick at 20%-50% throttle, instead of a mush response unless I go almost WOT that I had before.
JC- Yup, if they won't deal, you gotta walk. Plus it make a good excuse to buy the new year model. Congrats on the new truck!
