Before taxes. I hit up half a dozen dealers and beat them all up on base, and then beat them up on the doc fee. I had the option of x-plan, but when you think of it, they don't have to insure the truck, have it take up space on the lot or keep in their books while they are trying to sell it. There is no reason for them not give you a great below invoice deal. By my math on the holdback, they still made a quick and easy $600 off me. And for what, clicking a few buttons in the FoMoCo order system.
I would have already ordered if it was like that.

I won't be ordering until later on in the fall or winter or maybe even spring at the latest, but I've finally decided on my build.
My current '15 has the tech package, max tow package, no power boards and no FX4. My list above is how I wish I would've ordered my truck in the first place. I don't need max tow and although the 360 camera in the tech package is a wicked cool piece of technology, I'd rather save the $1250.
Excited to try the new 3.5L Eco before ordering though. I feel like it's going to be wicked good.
- 502a SCrew 5'5"
- Shadow black
- Ebony interior
- 3.5L Ecoboost w/10 speed
- FX4 package
- power-deployable running boards
- power telescoping trailer tow mirrors
- twin panel moonroof
- 20" PVD chrome
- BSW tire option

I'm ordering my 2017 this winter. My birthday is in January and I think I'll order it as a birthday present for myself. After a lot of hemming and hawing I finally decided on a build.
Lariat SCab 163.7" WB
4x4
5.0 V8
500A package
Heavy Duty Payload
Trailer Tow
36 Gallon Tank
Inverter
Caribou Exterior
Camel Interior
Bench Seats
Tailgate Step
Eminently practical.
Then I'll spend next summer working on little upgrades like 275/70-18 tires, mid-rise topper, bed rug, RCI skidplates, 2 inch coilover level up front and add-a-leaf set in the back (want to maintain most of the factory rake but have the whole truck 1.5-2 inches higher), upfitter switches, and some aftermarket lighting.

Hey Freeseframe, Mind if I ask what you paid for your 2017 Platinum? I am almost pulling the trigger on same build but a 2016 Plat in local dealer stock. Without the New Eco and 10 speed of course. But lots of discounts. I'm on the fence about grabbing the 2016 Platinum or building a 2017. Thanks in advance, from a fellow longtime lurker, and now first time poster.

I like my tech but not necessarily having to be on the cutting edge. Main reason for ordering early is my lease is up December 6 so I need the truck sooner than later.
Ordered 7-18
Lariat Supercrew - 502a - 3.5 Ecoboost
Oxford White
Special Edition
Max tow package
Tech package
Adaptive cruise
Park Assist (getting this actually saved money)
Spray in bed liner / tailgate step / wheel well liners
I have X plan but they gave me invoice pricing + TTL.
