My truck only took 13 days to reach Granger in Iowa in September. Hope your trucks arrive as quickly!

Was in the area so stopped by Metropolitan Ford to check out two XLT's this Saturday, both EcoBoost.

Wow, and just the low low price of a $4K markup!

At least they could adjust their markup to a % value - same markup on the base XL Hybrid in their inventory as the Ecoboost Lariat.

Also, I understand that their inventory is going to show retail customer orders automatically...but I sure hope those customers (anyone here?) isn't actually going to end up paying that $4k markup.

Glad I decided on Granger - my fully spec'd XLT (more options than any of theirs listed) would be a full $6K less than the price they'd be charging.

Yeah, any and all Dealers ad markup to lot cars. Hence the reason to order one.

Also better than $15k "adjustments" I've seen from other dealers.

No complaints from me, though I didn't get out yesterday and our truck is garaged. Have to say I'm loving the heated steering wheel - that is a first and I am leaving it on all winter!

PSA For all those living in Minnesota. One of your best here below having trouble identifying the difference between brake and accelerator. You've been warned. Also likes flicking knobs from park to drive without carefully looking.
I've caught myself doing something a little odd due to having the dial gear shifter (which I have generally warmed up to - a quick flick into drive is quite easy when starting up).

I really like both the auto stop/start and hold feature (where it holds the brake once you stop until you depress the accelerator again). If i'm waiting somewhere like a drive-thru or for gas at costco and the auto stop doesn't run, I'll sometimes turn the truck off myself.

That can be done even if the truck was still in Drive - so here is what I find myself doing - Auto stop doesn't engage, so I just turn it off, without putting it in park. It shifts to park. When I start back up, I think it will be in gear (because I'm used to both the auto stop/start and hold features normally). I then hit the gas, but the car has returned to park because I turned it off!

I'm sure I'll stop it eventually, only done it a couple times - but every time I think to myself that I'm a bit of an idiot :)
