Assumed so, but you never know. The order was not a formal contract, just an Order Preview that I signed along with the quote from them. Under the UCC, pretty sure this would meet the requirements for a contract for sale of goods, but not sure how Ford treats this situation and don't want to have to fight it.

The sticker will always show the most current prices from ford no matter what price you were given when you ordered it. The final price is up to your dealer, I told my dealer I need a price now before my truck comes in and ensured it will be the price when I ordered and not the price after the increase. The dealer does not have to honor this so I would recommend clarifying this asap, same with your loan agreement (apr), so you’re not trying to negotiate this the day you go to pick up your truck. Most dealers will honor the price and loan deals when you ordered it but that’s not always the case.

That piece right there is what is giving me sleepless nights. This negotiation part and dealers knowing that if you walk away they can sell the 'on the lot' truck for $5000 more. It sucks. Really hope are generally dealing with honorable dealers, especially the ones advertising here on this forum for below invoice pricing.

Years ago a bought a car for my wife, and they started tacking on doc fees and the likes. I walked out as I, from the start, were agreeing and negotiating on out the door pricing. They called me back the next day and I got it at the agreed price. I doubt I'll be that lucky these days.

My dealer "said" the deal was locked in, the only caveat was I could get better financing or promotions that may be available when I actually receive the truck. Im currently locked in for 60 months at 1.9 percent. Thats pretty good, but hopefully zero percent is back when I actually finalize.

I think dealers would be foolish to pull dirty tricks, online reviews are so easy to give and receive. Whenever I put something into Google maps I go straight to the reviews

One would think so....yet you hear horror stories daily. I do feel some sense of comfort knowing I got a deal from one of the advertised dealers here, and I know we have a large platform/audience to share good stories with, I trust they understand what it could mean for them if they mess us around. (I realize this sounds threatening and arrogant, sorry, not meant that way)

I've threatened to use reviews and social media in the past and received the appropriate response

After 8 months, I can hardly believe it. I have a sticker with a blend date of 3/22

CONGRATULATIONS! Good For You! The wait seems like it goes on forever. I hope that your movement is a sign of good things to come for the rest of us in this build week.

i am using Chapman in Horsham and so far have been extremely impressed with them. Fast response to questions and really seem friendly.

Sounds like interest rates are going up to fight inflation so I would highly doubt the 0% will be coming back anytime soon. I also think 1.9% will be the lowest rate you can find anytime soon and would try my best to hold onto that. Luckily I ordered my truck 2 weeks before the 0% apr deal was gone and confirmed with my dealer that I would still be eligible for it. I also recently confirmed their added on fees, they charge 1 doc fee of $200 which I didn’t think was too bad after researching what most people were charging.

I also ordered 12/20, the 0% deal was live then too, so I hope we are able to make that stick.

The tracker hasn’t updated yet, but just got this wonderful bit of news from Ford Chat.

Ordered October 7th, this was my third bump to this week. Found out yesterday from dealer blend date was March 22nd, and I was marked in “production.” After clicking the link for the window sticker over and over finally manually entered VIN on ford direct and sure enough it popped up. Might give that a try if you guys are still looking for your stickers.

Nice to see! I ordered almost exact same truck (minus max tow and mine is rapid red) on 1/26/22. Nice to see truck with these options being built! Hopefully I
will see mine before Christmas!! Good luck!
