Default Hunting for a New F150 in the Bay Area

If any of you live near the Bay Area in California, please help send me your local favorite truck salesman. It's hard to find one on your own without some referrals. I'm in Milpitas and I have a few nearby but want to order a truck ASAP and I don't want to waste my time with a rookie who's going to screw up my screw..

Thanks.

Call Hugh at Patchetts Ford, it's by Modesto so about an hour or so from you. He is the sales manager there, he will order the truck for you at below invoice and they include free oil and filter changes. I've bought 5 vehicles from him and never had any problems, his number is 209-633-4150.

I think I might try Patchetts. It's near Turlock and I'll be visiting family next weekend. thanks.

Anybody else have any local dealers in Silicon Valley that you would recommend?

I just ordered my Ecoboost today from the Ford Store in Morgan Hill. Dealer tells me that they have an allocation and may be able to get it in the queue for production week after next (I don't beleive it, but we'll see!) So far lead time may be around 4 to 6 weeks but I'm not holding my breath
...I can't wait.

I checked local inventory at Patchetts and Fairfield and they didn't have anything with the Max Tow 4x4 EB in my three color choices n locking rear end. Stock is limited in Northern Cal so I just went ahead and ordered it. Thanks for the info though.

I got my truck there, they were great about it and I enjoyed more than most vehicle buying experiences, which usually go like a rectal exam...

Tell me about it. They beat everyone else's price I brought them and I can't complain!
