I’m seriously considering going the same route as you, and ordering one. This is going to be my first Ford product ever, actually the first time I’ve ever considered buying one.I found the same thing in this area. The inventory was low (zero Hybrids ) and the dealers were asking well more than list.
I instead went back to where I bought my F250 (Evergreen Ford in Issaquah, WA) and there had another "just perfect" experience. My Mav was ordered at the "A-Z" pricing then on offer to anyone. That was the same price that Ford employees and Ford supplier employees get.
The truck took about 3 months to arrive but it was sold at the promised price plus actual tax and actual license plus a $200 "documentation fee". I had already agreed to the extra $200 so there was no drama whatsoever when I picked up the truck. They even checked the PDU & RDU fluid levels at my request at no charge (both were full).
The finance/paperwork guy offered me a Ford extended warranty but no hard sell. I declined that extra warranty and was out of there in 30 minutes. They took my personal check for the full sale price (after running a credit check on me).
I asked that the truck have NO dealer advertising stickers etc placed on it and was told that "we just don't do that". The only advertising was on the plastic license plate frame which I just installed backwards so the letters face the truck body.
It's rare these days to find a car dealer that is committed to doing what they say they will do and follows through with actions to match their words. I dealt with Gary Joseph their "internet sales manager" and highly recommend him. He's a pleasure to deal with.
Here is some (lousy) cellphone pics of the interior. Note the rear seat *IS* the same color as the front even though my lousy pics make it look much lighter color.![]()
