Funny story: I found a brand new 2023 Lariat FX4 at the Ford dealer in Easton (who will remain nameless) on Sunday. Spoke with the sales manager and scheduled time to meet on the next day (Monday). I get there, take the Mav out for a test drive, decide I want it. When I get back the sales...

I get there and take a test drive; I’m all in and...
Colonial Ford; Plymouth, MA. Sold at straight MSRP, waived dealer acquisition fee, threw in a factory bed extender free of charge (I was trading in two vehicles so this was a bit of a bone based on the trade-in values). Fantastic experience all around.
