Additional Delivery Questions after research

[Mike_FL]

Been doing a lot of research on this forum and it's been super informative.. I'm playing catch up bc I ordered my truck in early November and largely forgot about it until a recent email from Ford stated I had a build date of 01 August.

Here are some additional things I'm looking to pull some info from you all to clarify and make deliver go as smooth as possible:

1. Price guarantee:
Is this something I have to fight for, or built into Ford's policy?

2. I've read original interest rates being honored from months before. Must you have applied for financing at time of order/deposit to benefit from this?

3. What else should I be checking the dealer is doing before I pick up my truck?
I plan on talking to the sales rep and asking them to not put any coatings, tiny, or other add-ons, as I orders the truck exactly as I wanted it. They have not communicated with me.once since the order was placed and the original salesperson is gone, so trust issue there.

For reference:
2.0 AWD, Tow package, Lux, and 360 safety, drop in bed liner. Order date 07 Nov. VIN and build date for 01 August. Loc: FL

1. Is there and available, but you will be dependent on the dealer to provide.

2. You can get the deal and rates available at either time of order or time of purchase.

Might come down to the dealer. Officially Ford is offering price and interest rate protection to the date of your order. I got that when I picked up my Maverick on Saturday, thank goodness, because the interest rate I would have got would have been double what I was offered in November.

I am also going to get trade in quotes from Honda and probably Carvana for the Ridgeline. The whole point of this vehicle swap is to save money, and for that to work I need to get a good price for the Ridgeline.

I'd also hate to not take delivery and see them turn around and mark up the price. The salesman pointed to the XLT Hybrid on the lot for 40k that his cousin orders and conveniently is not taking delivery.
