Yeah, we're very grateful. I almost can't blame the dealer, because Mavericks are so overpriced here. It's 40K+ for a new XLT, and people are still lining up. I sold our 2023 XLT for 30K, and I was getting bombarded with messages. I guess I could have tried for more, but I was very happy getting...

Credit where it's due: the dealer did sell my truck in March, but they had a similar one on hand. It was missing some add-ons that we had ordered, but it had the luxury package that we didn't. They ended up selling it for the same price. I'll drop in a bedrug and some racks, and we'll be good to go.

I ran into a similar problem back in 2023 with my Maverick. They just tried to bully me out the door so they could flip it for more money. So I switched to another dealer for my wife's order last fall. These guys didn't even bother bullying me, they just sold it right out from under me while...

Update: just found out there was a 'mistake' and my truck was sold back in March right after delivery. Why is it so hard to buy a truck from a Ford dealer? Guess I'm right back to putting in a fresh order and waiting another 9 months.

Ordered: 9/12/24 Shipped: 2/11/25 Estimated delivery: 3/12/25 As of today, the dealer claims it is still in transport. The order no longer shows up in the "Track my order system." Called Ford corporate, and they said it was delivered on 3/15 to the dealer. Nobody seems to know what is actually...

Thanks for the info, everyone. My boss ordered a Ford vehicle from the mainland last year, and he just met the shipper at the main vehicle pickup dock in Honolulu. I agree, Ford dealers here have not been very helpful based on several firsthand experiences. I'll contact the representatives noted...

When do order banks open nationwide? And are most dealers still adding markup? Here in Hawaii, all 3 dealers say order banks are not open for our area yet. They are also all adding $7K markup across the board. I'm debating the possibility of ordering one from the mainland and shipping it over.

Here's a relatively inexpensive option for a tonneau cover that fits the Elevate rail system. It's a Tonno Pro Lo Roll, and I got it for $274 off Amazon. It ended up being a quick, easy install with the rails. I swapped out the stock (thicker) weather strip with the thin one included with the...

Awesome! Congrats 🤙

I edited the original comment for clarification. I ended up signing yesterday.

Well, it’s done. I signed for 2k markup on each truck. Yesterday was a long, long day. I had a massive headache, and I just wanted to be out of there. In the end, neither of us got exactly what we wanted, so I guess that’s somewhat balanced. Depending who I talk to, I either caved and got...

Iʻm not naive that markups exist. That being said, I would not be on this forum if they had disclosed the 6K from the beginning. They are adamant that the fee was disclosed from day 1, and it absolutely wasnʻt. Charge whatever you want, just be somewhat upfront about it. Sneak it in the fine...

Oh yeah. Iʻm not paying 6K markup. This just reinforces the dealerʻs position, and the deceitful practice goes on and on. I realize that Iʻm probably fighting a losing battle, but Iʻm hoping to make it such a hassle for them by not going away that the next guy up for a Maverick has an easier...

Sad to say, but I think you're right. I know they were being shady, they knew I knew what was going on all along, and they plainly did not care. Pretty much said so. I'm never going to walk away from the deal, so I'm just wondering how long it will take before they just decide to sell them anyhow.

They're not calling it a markup. They're calling it an "e-commerce fee." You'll see when you get there. They claim that not a single car leaves their lot without paying this 6K e-commerce fee.

Yup, Coedy. He wasn't in today, so we met with his "partner" Isaac. Coedy wouldn't answer my calls when I was wondering where he was this morning, but Isaac got him on speakerphone where he started lying right out the gate. Coedy was the one who got super heated when we said that he never...

LOL. Yup, I guess I got worthless paper. Knowing all the legalities and signatories required would have been helpful a year ago. I honestly never imagined it would be like this, but I guess I was incredibly naive.

We have one like that, plus it has an order number, sales code, all charges (including destination charge, etc) included, plus the salesman signed it. He also said "show this, no questions asked for this price at pickup. You'll be right in and out." To be honest, I'm most fired up about the...

I have an order sheet signed by the salesperson. He also said "just bring this in when you pick it up, no questions asked for this price on the sheet." I am not fully blaming Ford. But at some point they have to realize that their own dealers are ruining their brand and their business. If...

I filled out the form. Unfortunately, I'm on an island, so there were not many options, and none on your list. Although there is one now as an avoid. To a certain extent, I am blaming Ford. Their name and logo are on the front of the building, so on some level - even if it's a very small...
