So my truck is supposed to be in today and just got a call from my salesman to tell me that it should be today or tomorrow (shocker). But he really wanted me to come in and do all the paperwork to buy the truck so I don't miss out on the Friends and Family deal. I told him again, that I get that deal anyway through my employer who has a corporate discount setup with Ford. I ordered my truck that way before the sale started anyway. I told him that I wanted to see the rebates when they come out to tack on to the X Plan price, plus the $1500 in rebates that are available at the time I ordered. He then goes on to tell me that I can't combine any new rebates to the X Plan rebates because "X Plan rebates are the rebates. You can't add anything to them." So then I asked him how can I use the $1500 rebates with X Plan but none of the new ones that are coming. Of course, couldn't answer that. Just kept trying to get me to come down and sign the paperwork today which conveniently is the last day of the month. I then just told him that I am not buying a truck at this point without seeing it first. Thought I would share. Watch out for these guys. They will say anything. I wish another dealer would get the same truck in and I would buy it. I was pretty offended by his call.
Texasbot: I agree with you 100%. This is the oldest trick in the book. Getting you to fill his quota book. Come on Ford Sales, seriously??
I put a $500 deposit on my Lariat and will be paying the balance with a personal check.
I'll wait till my truck is on the lot and then I'll try to get my incentives applied and pay ASAP, in case they have reservations about a personal check...
...the Eagle has landed! Just got the call from the GM at the dealer. Heading in tomorrow morning to trade in and pick up. Holding off for a day in hopes we'll get something better than the $500 rebate that's on them now. If not, well, what's one more night waiting after waiting this long...

YEAH!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!! Please post pics.... hoping the 10/26-7 club will soon follow!!!!
Having been, what seems like, the only one of built on 10/21 and being in the same situation as everyone else from around that time, I would (hope) you're not far behind. I'll have to wrangle a smart phone with a decent camera on it from someone. Not even sure the camera works on this flip phone I have, never really tried it.

All the rebates I have see expire on 01/04/2016, so unless the do some holiday sale starting tomorrow. I don't expect to see any new rebates untill after next year.

Check the functionality of the heated/cooled front seats before you sign on the dotted line; if that matters to you.
Judging from the enthusiasm, I suspect that the Beverly Hillbillies' truck could be sold tomorrow if it had an F150 badge on its side.

Well, as I said a couple days ago, I ended up tracking down a nearly identical truck that was literally just delivered. It simply lacks the box side steps; that's the only difference. I can manage without them, and if I really deem them necessary, I'll get some added later on.
Everything is good so far. I can't feel much air from the cooled seats, but I can feel the cooling effect after a couple of minutes. I don't have any other car to compare to, though.
Sync 3 is AWESOME. So quick and responsive. Phone is connected via bluetooth, though I opted to mostly play music via USB.
I took it for a nice ride last night around midnight to enjoy it. Boy is it fun to drive.... especially that sport mode; dang is that addicting. I don't want to open it up too much until it's had more time to break in though.
I'll keep watching this thread to following the 10/26 club. My originally ordered truck is yet to get an update, though I'm not going to be checking it anymore.
Anyways, here's a phone pic at dusk. Sorry for the bad lighting. I love the lighting under the mirrors though. Looks beautiful in the dark.
