What is ADM ? I'm not savvy when it comes to using Initials.
It stands for "price gouging". It's also called "market adjustment" or "my kids collage fund" (MKCF).
Ford is big on acronyms.
ADM sounds so much better than price gouging or even Additional Dealer Markup.

I think he means hardly any dealers have them just sitting on the lot, so a test drive is nearly impossible. Anyway, congrats! Were you able to get it without any ADM?
There was no ADM ,only dealer installed options . The dealer installed options I listed were part of the build ,they were not installed at the factory but sent to the dealer, where the car was sent . At that time the dealer is supposed to add the options . In my case the car had just arrived at the dealer ,they just didn't get around to the install. Everything happened in a short time .

Being military I like acronyms. Sometimes we even use acronyms that contain acronyms!

Dealers have a right to charge what they want to charge when they want to charge it. It is called the "FREE" Enterprise System. The rest of us are also free to tell them to go pound sand and shop somewhere else. I do it all the time, except most of the time I try to be more diplomatic. :)

So I ordered a 23 hybrid xlt last September. The order went through but I never heard anything on when it would get built but the order had been processed. Fast forward to February and my dealer had a 23 ecoboost fx4 and sold it to me at msrp. My dealer called a few weeks ago and let me know my hybrid is built and should be here at the end of the month. My wife has decided to trade in her car for it when it gets here at the end of the month. Guess we got lucky but we will be a 2 Maverick family lol and I’ll be able to let you know which one is better, hybrid or ecoboost, since we will be able to test both

I deal with Mullinax Ford in Fl. No hidden fees or add-ons. You know the price when you order the vehicle. MSRP + tax and title.

Something to avoid unless you don't mind throwing money away or you're flush and desperate. Additional Dealer Markup, because they can.

Ziebart undercoat will be useful in Michigan. You did get lucky to find one that checks all the boxes for you. BTW your lariat has LEDs already in all the important locations, so probably no need to change any lights.

Welcome to the club!
Colin , I plan on changing my front turn signals and rear brake / turn signals along with my backup lights . To my understanding none of these are LEDs . Please correct me if I,am wrong .

Thanks ,John

That is correct. None of those are LED from the factory.
