Will do. Any specific must have options?
I find the 360 cameras and adaptive cruise control very useful. Don't use them every single day but wouldn't get a newer truck without them. The Fx4 I got but could've done without. Max trailer tow is another one I have and most likely wouldn't order again as there is no concrete evidence as to what that package does for a powerboost. Past that I don't know about what's changed for 24. Once I received mine I stopped building and pricing.

I was in All American awhile back and noticed a sign at their service desk noting that if you bring in a **Ford** for service and you didn't buy it there, they charge a $200 fee to work on your vehicle, that's on top of the work performed. Between that and their insane prices I didn't even bother walking in the door.

The quote is from All American Ford. I have attached the sticker here and the price they have given me is $62k. Is this a fair deal?
First that's a really nice truck you've found. If you're leasing I don't think you will get any further. Sales tax will be about 4k so if you're purchasing, I'd be happy to have it for 63k including the sales tax at minimum.

I am buying, not leasing.

Do NOT go to George Wall Ford in Red Bank! They wouldn't honor X-Plan so I walked out. I ordered my truck and shipped to Tom's Ford in Keyport.
Where did you order from and ship?

So how does the truck bought in Iowa get serviced in NJ then?

I saw that sign as well. And I bought my 21 at Mahwah, and there service department sucks, they'd be lucky if they could knock out a Pinto brake job correctly. Out of the blue in February Paramus called to cover my recalls using there mobile service, I guess they needed work for these guys, who don't have a bay in the shop and apparently there's no EV'S for them to work on. So I asked them if I if i go with you and need other work paid or warranty will you take care of it and will I have access to a loaner thru you and they said yes. And I have this in writing in an email from the service manager not the service writer.

Times is tough for them I guess. Trucks advertised under MSRP for the first time in 4 years and now reasonably priced service? What's next? Valuing customers? I guess they must have scared off enough customers that they need some back.

Just talk with Grainger Ford folks and ask how the process works to buy in Iowa and ultimately have it registered in NJ (both sales tax and registration fees). So many folks here and on other sites have great things to say about their process. You just need to figure out if your time and airfare cost to go get the truck from Iowa is worth whatever the overall discount might be.

The industry seems to keep changing, All American gave me the cold shoulder about doing work on my last truck in 2018. Now they seem eager to grab up work, they even took in my 2011 E-150 to rebuild the shifter in the steering column, no back talk, no problem they were happy to take the job. Lol, no loaner for that though. Ok I get that.
Hey post a shot of your 87 F-250, good stuff! My first truck was a 79 F-250 4 spd. 4x4 built at the long gone Ford plant in Mahwah NJ

I’m in NJ , all the dealers here suck , if I did buy near here it would be at Chapman in Northeast Philly but I’ve noticed that in Manassa VA at Ourisman they’re giving a pretty good discount on new 24 F150s , yeah it sucks its 3 hours away but they are the best deal around here

At Chapman I have sent an email to Ed as he wants all quote requests on email. Is that the way this would work? I would prefer to talk to someone. Also if you buy out of state would the dealers in state take it for service?
