This is what was offered to my by Granger/Ford $1,000 off for ordering a truck and another $500 for something. Ford finance zero percent for 36 months. Anything else was higher interest rate.

Applied for the Ford credit, will wire transfer my down payment and was told that I will sign four documents when we arrive and should be in and out well under an hour. They will have someone pick me up from the airport.

They will have someone pick me up from the airport.

Someone from Granger is picking you up from the airport?

I'm not sure on this. I've had one dealer tell me they use it for the Patriot Act to make sure you're not a terrorist laundering money through buying a car.
It could be possible Chip and he have not spoken - but I would be very cautious. I see no issues in waiting till you are on site. It may delay your paperwork slightly at time of pick up - but better that than ID theft.

I think I sorted it out. Apparently in the state of Iowa, the title application has a field where you are either required to put a Iowa driver's license number or SSN. But I'm still researching.

Even so, I'm just going to provide that in person. They said doing it in person would just add a few minutes of paperwork, so it's not a big deal.

That's pretty much the same deal Granger offered me today but I also had 3k PCO. they also offered 8 year 125k mile $100 Deductible ESP for $2,700.

I’m hoping for the same conversation on financing based on my research for this month. My estimated delivery is 2/9….but haven’t got a lick of new information from ford on the truck since blend day on 1/19. Of course then there is March …or April…

I too was told they’d pick up from the airport as well. ?? Every bit of logistical help is appreciated

That’s what I was told would happen.

Going back to the window sticker bottom update date. I got a print out from my dealer today and what TNRotty said it updates with activity with your vehicle. So when I got a print out of my truck history my eta date starts today and I believe my last window sticker was 1/25 and I believe I received an email from for stating I got a new eta so the dates do show significance. So that date changing means something but we as a customer don’t know because it’s and internal thing.

Ford got to get it together. Soon I’ll get a email saying we’re changing your order to a 2023

What kind of truck did you get? Wondering if they will have any offers like that for my Tremor. I just did the application and should be getting a call in the coming days.

I've read from multiple people they pick you up at the airport or hotel, and its a quick sign and go after.

Did you take the ESP? That seems like a good deal, did it cover most everything?

@TN Rotty was finally able to get mine picked up this evening:

Yes. I'll likely purchase the ESP. it's not quite bumper to bumper coverage but close and includes rental car if needed. Normally I try to fix stuff on my own vs taking to shop but the tech on these new trucks is kind of intimidating.

What kind of financing are you guy's getting. I have not ran Ford yet, because my dealer says that if they do the app they can not track the truck any longer (it is almost there!!!). In the meantime I reached out to my local CU that offers to beat any rate by 2%. I went ahead and applied and it looks like they already beat Ford. 2.99/75mo or 3.99/84 mo. That is the floor so that is the lowest they can go.

I took 3.9/72. Only reason was because my wife just opened an account with her company credit union and didn’t think to add me initially. To get me added takes another 3-5 business days and then another 2 for them to get a check to the dealer. We are going to refinance in a few weeks at 2.14.

Welp....someone must be in my vehicle, they just denied my request to activate Ford Pass...Good sign I guess since it has been sitting in a railyard.

That’s what happened for me. I sent the request several weeks ago. When my salesman texted me a picture of it on the transport, I got a notification through FordPass MAYBE 5 minutes later that it had been denied.

This is what was offered to my by Granger/Ford $1,000 off for ordering a truck and another $500 for something. Ford finance zero percent for 36 months. Anything else was higher interest rate.

That’s all that I was able to get in addition to my $3000 PCO. I’m a paramedic and my wife is in school for her Nurse Practitioner. I tried to use either my first responder rebate or her student rebate but was told that their system (Vincent?) wouldn’t accept it. I quit pushing the issue and decided to just get the truck.

Yes. I'll likely purchase the ESP. it's not quite bumper to bumper coverage but close and includes rental car if needed. Normally I try to fix stuff on my own vs taking to shop but the tech on these new trucks is kind of intimidating.

Same here, I priced a 7/100k ESP from Zeigler and Flood Ford. Just looked at Flood and it’s $1,335 if I took a $200 deductible.

I’ll circle back to the ESP a little later. I have a bad habit of trading up every two or three years and say every. single. time that “this is the one, I’m paying it off.”

My last 3 or 4 vehicles haven’t made it out of the bumper to bumper before being traded.

Funny enough, I’ve never bought a vehicle and had ZERO regrets about sacrificing anything until now. I really see myself in this truck long term but it’s also only been 27 or 28 hours and the honeymoon phase will last for a few weeks.
