How many of you guys think our R. Gebaur trucks will be delivered this week?

I'm curious about everyone here that ordered from Granger. Did any of you lock in any incentives or PCOs at the time of order? I was told it wasn't possible, which contradicts the vast majority of buying experiences posted both here and other Ford forums, where dealers seem to be able to lock in almost everything.

I don't remember the exact dollar amount but there was an incentive/rebate when I ordered mine of around $1,000 in November 2020. I was told by Granger (Albert) that the only incentive I could use would be whatever was available when the truck arrived. My truck arrived June 27 and I got $100. I didn't bother asking Chip what it was for, I felt lucky to get anything. Ford never offered me a PCO. I did however manage to use my Ford Farm Bureau Advantage Discount of $500 for a total of $600. Since I waited like most of you (8 mos for me) I feel like Ford should have given me (us) at least a $2,500 discount of some sort.

We're you able to use the 1.9% financing offer?

I do feel like it is a slap in the face from Ford for offering that "thanks for waiting" $1000 to people who ordered after April. Especially when there are some that had been waiting as long as you.

I shook my magic 8 ball and the outlook was not so good.

Actually I paid cash. Ya I'm not happy about that $1,000 incentive either, and don't they have to take delivery by a certain date? Since production seems to be taking 90+ days not sure anyone will actually be able to use it.

Mine said the same thing

Yeah, they needed to have taken delivery by 7/6. Ford knew what it was doing.

When I placed my order, I had about $4,300 available in total with incentives and a PCO, none of which were "locked in". I'm a bit frustrated that I was never able to get a solid answer from them on why it wasn't possible. It goes counter to what we're hearing from almost every other buying experience posted here.

Either all those other posts aren't accurate, or Granger is doing something different with their ordering. While their initial pricing is fantastic, it makes me wonder if they don't lock in because it impacts their numbers somehow. I'm not calling shenanigans, but it would be nice to get a more transparent answer on why.

Yep I've often wondered how some seem to get "locked in" and others don't. With that being said what Granger told me was not any different from any other Ford dealers I've dealt with over the years. I've always been told that whatever incentive is available at delivery is what you get.

Back in my "research before purchase" days, I found a lot of varying info and summarized it here.

All of the information is several years old, and could have changed since then, but if not, there are different types of offers, where some are protected and some are not. The way I understand it, PCOs are protected and should be able to be locked in.

I’m going to be pissed if mine is denied. The rebate said between 4/4 to 7/6 or something like that. I asked multiple times over if I need to do anything to lock this in for my order and they said no...

Hopefully the dealer keeps their word, because the writing on the offer said that you needed to take delivery before the 6th.

They extended it to 9/30

From what I read, they started a new one and only for certain zip codes.

Waiting on mine to be delivered. It's stuck in KC. I was told some of their pricing/incentives are locked in while others are not. My PCO expired 7/6 and Granger said that they could not extent it.
