im no agent, but id be safer then sorry and get the GAP just in case, you never know what can happen, today, the market is inflated, and our trucks are worth 5k more then MSRP, a year from now they could be worth 5k less then MSRP and you may be on the hook for some money owed. i would rather...
gap coverage is there to pay off your loan.
lets say you owe 20k on a vehilce, but the car is only worth 17k street value, your insurance (car insurance) will cover the street value of the car, then you are left with the remaining balance of 3k to pay off your loan, thats where GAP steps in...
dealer will not run your credit until truck is in their possesion. i would suggest only paying what they want as a deposit (100-500$) for the order. you can then put down 0 or any amount really, unless lenders request a certain amount down to get you approved for the loan.
i saw a post where someone claimed they had ordered, and got production same day, it was later determined a joke/lie. just hold out. it will all be worth it. im in it for the long haul, cant wait
if you are from another state, front plates shouldnt matter in a state that "requires" them, and if a cop really writes you a ticket even after explaining you dont live there, and are just passing through, then thats BS.
wow, i ordered on the 20th. i hope to get one as quick as you did, also a low optioned XL.
4k, awd, floor mats, full size spare i believe is all i asked for on the order. carbon gray
even then, if there is a significant difference in tread wear, lets say your daily tires have about 35-40% life left, and your spare has 100% it can still damage the system, you also want to be running the same tire AFAIK as well, so when it comes you need new tires, and you go with something...
there may be times i throw my bike in the bed of the truck as well, would you be interested in getting me a set of these tailgate supports like you have? very interested.
I wonder if my order will go through, really hope so. ordered like a week ago. Already got a confirmation email from Ford.
edit- ford website still allows you to build/create order online. 🤷♀️
