Here's a story that might be helpful for those of you who are waiting for your 2016 orders:
I ordered back on 9/25. My build is a Platinum 5.0, 157", 4x4, 701A, 3.55, active park assist, wheel well liners, moonroof, 36 gallon tank, trailer tow package, tow mirrors. MSRP was $63,405, invoice was $58,316. At the time, there were no incentives available, but I was able to negotiate a price of $55,546, which I felt was a fantastic deal (until this morning).
This morning, I saw on my dealer's site that they were advertising a similar 2016 for about $13k under window sticker, in part because of the friends and neighbors promotion (although it didn't have some of my options and was a different color). I called my salesman, and he reluctantly agreed to sell me that truck. I drive ~40 minutes to the dealership, only to find out that the truck was sold yesterday.
At the end of the day, I didn't get the steal I thought I would, but I was still able to leverage the situation into another $5,500 off my truck. So, I'll be getting my original order for $50,063, which is about $7,900 under the Friends and Neighbors (aka X-Plan) price.
Moral of the story: Look at your dealer's website and try to find the best deal on a truck similar to yours. Use that deal as leverage to re-negotiate your order price.

What yours has that mine doesn't: 3.5 EB ($400 option), tri-coat paint ($495 option).
EDIT: I also don't have a bed liner.
I attached my window sticker so you can see what mine does have.

Stinks.
On another note have you received the Private Cash offer by requesting a brochure via the Ford number here. I did this yesterday and spoke to a really nice lady. I was honest that I had ordered a truck but was counting on a better rebate than the Friends & Family discount being I already negotiated my price with the dealer. If you haven't it's dead simple and I'm not one to call about coupons as my wife could tell you. They give you a program number and an expiration that is mid December.
