I worked in the business for 30 years. I know how things can work.
I am a salesmen's nightmare "LOL"
I worked these guys between two dealerships for weeks. And when I was at one dealer getting a deal offered. I stepped out in the parking lot and called the other dealer just in case. He offered $2000 more off to get me to drive over. I left the first dealer. Bought for the price I said earlier at the second dealer.

I have found out that you never deal with the first salesman you see. They usually onlylast about 10 minutes until they get their boss. Then you're finally starting to get somewhere.
Thanks for the tips Larry!

None of the above applies?? It's a sales ploy to sell a truck to you?
When I bought my 2008 the dealer gave me a great deal on my trade in. and they also gave me 13,000 off the new truck.
I drove in with a 6 year old 2wd xlt 80,000 miles, dented frt fender, dented cab, smashed rear bumper. No Money in hand.
I drove out with payments on 21,300
window sticker was 42,855
My Advice. Do what is right for you.

Wow... that is good info. I'm going to do that next time. Sounds like the dealer you call will always do more to get you off someone elses lot. Did you tell the dealer you where at that the other offered 2k less? What did they do?

Dealers are scandalous...
Like Ricky and Rainman said Compare mileage, See how it runs maybe try and carfax both you might dig somethin dirty up(ive never used it just saw the commercials 
) also i was thinkin there might be a buyer lined up willin to pay top dollar for your exact truck.. If you end up doing it defenitly get a warranty and they seem to really want the truck... Use this to your advantage 
Anyways let us know your decision
