Late to the game

[GRABBR]

Newbie. Just getting informed about the ordering window for ‘24s closing soon my dealer says. Not sure I can believe him. Going to check against another dealer but I feel pressured to order now and wait who knows how long to get it. Looking at Lariat Tremor in blue. Any help appreciated.

I don't think Ford has officially announced order bank closure. But that dealer is not wrong. Recent history would say Ford could close them at any day and that dealer could be running out of their allocations (the number of trucks Ford plans to ever send them this model year).

Also, you don't have to take it when it arrives. Plus side of my ten month wait is I had plenty of time to get over the "buyer's remorse" stage.

Yep, order now if you want one. Pressure them to assure they have the allocation for your order. Find a dealer who doesn't require a deposit or any add-on's, or as few as possible. Get a signed purchase order so they can't pull any shenanigans once it arrives. You'll sign it and I believe the sales manager has to sign it as well.

They're a great truck, worth waiting for IMO. We bought my son an used EB XLT as his order wouldn't arrive in time and I loved it so much I changed his hybrid order to a Lariat EB for me.

I can't paying over sticker for one on the lot, and it still not having everything I want in it.

A dealer asking over sticker for a custom order screams don't buy your mav from me. On the lot is not shocking.

Not a custom order. On the lot is 5K over sticker easy

Put your order in and if it's within dealers allocations and a build Ford is ready to make it may be not long(I think xlt's are the sweet spot right now?)

Make sure the dealer has allocations for what you want. See if he wants a deposit, (not required by Ford). Usually if required will be $100-$1000. Keep in mind, they may have your money quite awhile. Deposit can be good for validation of contract, get in writing vehicle pricing and no ADM. Each dealer may close their ordering banks based on their allocation availability. Just some things to consider. Best of luck hunting.

I love our Tremor and definitely order it how you want. It still could be one of the quicker built models with the lower take rates. Maybe go on the regional section here and look for reputable dealers in you states area. If you gotta drive 4 or 5 hours to pick it up from someone who will get you a good deal and make it all painless. Why not? Not that its available now or near your area. But Granger of Iowa, put our truck in storage(we paid for) got it out of storage and washed it, did all the paperwork before we got there. Got us new temp tags(first ones expired) and had us on the road in about 15 minutes. All at $3000 under msrp with likely no money in their pocket at all other than the $50 over cost they charged for the extended warranty we got.

Order away, no deposit required. Don’t leave without an otd, out the door price in writing. Then get some snacks and wait.

I ordered today, 07/31/23. ‘24 Lariat, Tremor, Atlas Blue, Moonroof. I’m fine waiting. More time to save up for it.

When I first went looking to test drive a Maverick back in January the local dealership had a '22 on the lot AWD Off road with 15K miles and they were asking $46K for it. I told them I will wait to order a new one at MSRP.
When I went back on July 17th they said the order books weren't open yet and they would call me when they were. Later that day I called a second place and they said to "Come on down". I placed the order, received my confirmation from Ford and put my deposit down and never got a call back from the first dealership. Their loss...

I agree. I began saving for my next vehicle after I paid off my current one 3 years ago. If my truck doesn't arrive until late May, I may be able to buy it outright between savings and my trade-in.

I just looked online at the '23 tremor I test drove. Today, they are asking $38,950 for it. When I test drove it a week ago, they were asking $36,500. Keep in mind this is a used truck with 5,000 miles on it, an XLT Tremor, with the original sticker price of $33,715. I'll still wait for my' 24 Lariat Tremor.

I have always done that...
Thats why I can pay $$$ and buy it outright... NO financing required..
