Aside from tax and tag fees how much is your dealer charging for Doc/prep/handling?

$422, which is kind of standard in Pennsylvania.

My dealer accepts X-Plan and caps fees at $100.

Striaght from a local Ford dealer website:
$798.50 Administration fee, and $189.00 electronic filing fee.
(this is actually lower than it was when I got my Maverick a year ago. Then, it was $995 + $189).

At least they aren't the worst dalership in the state. Another dealership about 30 min away from me charges almost twice as much, plus has a 'mandatory' protection coating that adds another $1300 to the price and they don't let you opt out of it. Its hilarious because I know the shop that does it, and you can get it yourself for about 1/4th the price - same coating, same guys applying it.

From another dealership website (not a Ford dealer) for the other dealership nearest me:
Additional fees include $1599 Protection Package, $1399 Doc fee, tax, tag, & title.

NC is boneheaded and doesn't cap them. Its more highway robbery. But, X-plan can help if your dealership will honor it. I kind of do stuff to help my dealership out so they make adjustments for me, so I don't pay the public price.

Using x plan caps some of these fees. Use that

My having X-plan, and the dealer agreeing to it when I ordered, saved me a $1,000 "custom order fee" that they try to charge folks, as well as only $100 DOC compared to their usual $599. X-Plan itself oly saved me about $700 off the vehicle itself.

All total, including fee reduction, discount on MSRP etc, X-plan saved me $1,500 on the 2022 and it is about the same on the 2023.... Well, in theroy! With the 2023 I doubt I could have ordered a more constrained Maverick... One might think I took the constrained options list and got two of each on the 2023....... sigh.

Oh, why did I switch dealers? Well, although the sales guy for dealer on the 2022 was fantastic, (Andy @jim Click, Green Valley) the GM said no more X-plan AND required to get the $1,800 "Desert protection package" which is a lot of over priced crap I did not want... Vin etching, fabric protection, blah blah blah... Took several calls to find another dealer that would take X-plan and not tack on dealer addon extra junk.

In NH it ranges from 0 to over 1000. I refuse to pay it. I ordered from a dealer 60 miles away because the dealer 5 miles away refused to waive the DOC fees. In NH it cost $37.50 for title and plate state fee. Any more more than that is just your dealer stealing your money.

There was a earlier poll on this here https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/how-much-are-your-dealer-doc-processing-fees.20511/

Most states allow dealers to charge whatever they want. The lowest fees are in states that limit it to actual fees -plus (around $50). For instance, it is $75 dollars in Minnesota while in Florida is around $1000. The fee is negotiable in most states but people do not bother. It is not a required fee in any state.

$230 doc fee which was the max in MI in 2022 (has gone up to $260 now)

I asked for it to be waived but was not successful.
