I think an FX4 packaged truck comes with a more aggressive tire.

Right. I agree, but this isn't an FX4.

Not a big deal anyway, I think I like the hankook, just odd to see a random different tire lol.

OP is correct. The Doc fees and paperwork fees are bs. I don't pay extra at the MVD for renewal of registration and the person at the dealership is employed to do that job. Is that person on commission, paid by unit...etc? Much like dealer perp, paint protection (popular here in AZ) it's a tool to be bargained with. Good on you for sticking to your guns and not paying.

Just asking!
I've worked at a dealership and done the paperwork for my fair share of vehicles. The dealer sure is doing something for this fee. They're taking your money and keeping it.

Hm, not so sure on this one for a 302a. I have a 16 302a, w/2.7 FX4. Dealer was 51,250 plus markup (as if) $55k. I paid $36 OTD. I'd say you've got some wiggle room there still, my opinion Seattle area.

Deals done. 38.5k otd.

It is a 3.5 though and the power is impressive. Especially from about a 30mph punch. Its at 90 very briskly.

One of the most impressive things to me though is how freaking quiet the truck is.

Can basically talk at a whisper at interstate speed.

Let us know how the MPG is and did Pundman give any "rules" to follow for the extended powertrain warranty?

I know suntrup and Bommarito both have similar claims.
