How close are you to buying?

You need to request vehicle brochures on fords website and they should send you a 750 dollar rebate voucher that should stack with their standard rebates

Order a few vouchers for different vehicles to increase your chances of getting one

Eta: I actually leveraged a local dealer using the machaik site you mentioned earlier

They were willing to match, and I actually ordered the truck I wanted to get exactly what I wanted and didn't want

Probably will be August/September after I take my boards.

Just saw the pics of your truck in the other thread. That's about what I'm looking for with the telescoping mirrors, off road, KR, etc. Just in green gem

2011 F150 king ranch with 5.0

This truck is a work horse. Pull a tractor, 30' camper and bay boat all the time. Truck pulls like an animal. By the way I owned diesels for 12 years before I went with this truck.

You'll have to order like I did for the max tow mirrors

Could not find one anywhere and I looked a lot

I was planning on ordering anyway so I can get exactly what I want. I'll pay the extra if I need. I can always work extra shifts to make up for it. The ER at the VA is desperate to fill shifts so it's easy to pay for a note when they're willing to shell out the bucks

In all honesty a new vehicle makes more sense right now. That really doesn't happen much but it is now. You will be able to get a brand new one for just a little more than a used one.

Negotiate an order just like you would negotiate on the lot

It's actually a cheaper deal for them bc there's no risk in it for them

Will do. I'm wondering how many 2013's will still be available or if I'll need to get the 2014 by that time to get exactly what I want. Doesn't matter too much, but would prob be able to get a better deal on the 2013.

Usually

I bought my 13 in February but the 13 had some significant updates so I didn't want the 12 at all

I don't expect any changes between 13 and 14 bc 15 should be the redesign

I love the new front end on the 13 especially the lariat, KR, and platinum

That's what I was figuring too. Not sure how much I'll like that redesign if the Atlas is a good model of some of the changes. It looked too much like a Tundra/Dodge.

The atlas was a little too much for me


It will be toned down but not sure to what extent

I'm sure it'll grow on me

I pass Robinson bros everyday and they have 11k off on the windshield so you could probably do a tad better than that

I was immediately sold on the KR bc of the paint match surround as opposed to the chrome surround on the lariat
