re: Houston Baws tell me about Ford dealerships

Before I moved to Houston I drove here to buy my f150 from mac haik. Was 1000 less new at mac haik than the cheapest I could get a 3,000 mile dealer demo in the same trim.

My 17 Tundra crewmax with the 5.7v8 is getting 10.7mpg. I haven’t done anything crazy to it, leveling kit w/ 33” Nitto Ridge Grapplers & I don’t have a heavy foot.
Anybody have any info on the F250 w/6.7 diesel mpg? I rarely pull anything & I plan on keeping everything factory on it. Ole’baw at the dealership is telling me 18-20, is this true?
On occasion (every 13 weeks) I will end up pulling a 5th wheel & that’s only if the wife & I start taking travel assignments.
TIA for the mpg info.

I bought my 17' 250 KR Ultimate at All Star in Prairieville in May of 17' for $10,750 off the sticker. Truck was being unloaded off a semi when I pulled in the dealership and still had the plastic on the seats, etc. I basically told them what I wanted for my trade and what i'd pay for the 17' and they came back around $2500 less than what I wanted for my trade. Told them i'd been down the street at Robinson Brothers and they had the same exact truck and offered me what I wanted so I was going back and doing the deal w/them (considering i'd never even been there.) They went and talked to the sales manager and came back and said they'd give me what I wanted plus free oil changes if I didn't go down the street. I was able to get right at 15% off on a truck with basically zero rebates without all the hassle of dealing/buying out of state, taxes, etc. Just have to know how to deal w/them and walk away when they won't come to terms.. If they want to make the sale bad enough, they will cave-

Aboulutly makes no sense that the 19’s are about to hit the lots & they don’t want to budge on the 17’s they have sitting.

Or maybe they're already as low as they can go without losing money to move a truck

Not paying 18 prices for a truck that is about to be 2 years old.

I don't fully get it. Seems like they would take a small loss now, instead of an even bigger loss when 19's come out. But I think the incentive from ford to sell 18's is just so big right now. The rebates that don't hit the dealership is what is letting them slash prices on 18's. They get no help on the 17's most likely. Any money off is out of their pocket.

Doesn’t hurt them for it to sit there. They don’t pay for the inventory until the unit is sold.
