I'd wonder about a dealer that doesn't know enough to be able to look at the door jamb sticker.........

Look at the tag on the axle.

Looking at the door jam you have to decode the code. Looking at the axle tag it gives you the factory setup.

Really 6 of one and 1/2 dozen of the other.

It was probably bought from a used car lot, in which case the employees deal with all makes of cars. But if it was bought from a Ford dealer then yeah, they're pretty dumb.
