Think of it this way. Everyday you wait is a day without the bliss of an F150. Sure you can drive the others or just step up and enjoy life. I should have done this sooner. I've had the Explorers Escapes RAV4's and love the truck. No problems so far.

My 2018 is nowhere near the quality of my 2016. First year after a refresh is a gamble imo. Wait for a 2019.

Waiting for a 19 wont do anything but add some cost. If you can find a left over 18 there could be some major savings if you play your cards right. Just keep in mind that the discounts had better be worth it to cover the 1 year depreciation on your truck, doesnt really matter when you bought it, an 18 is an 18 when it comes to resale

Got a question. The Lariat I have been eyeing is still in the lot for close to a month now. Their "sale price" was $49,000 during this time. By my calculations I could get an additional $4500 taken off of the $49,000 with pco/incentives.

I checked website today to see if it was still on the lot and its no longer listed at the $49,000 but instead at $52,000. Guessing some incentives were taken away for this month?

I don't get it, the truck has been there for a month and isn't selling. So they up the price? If I go in there they won't do the $49,000 price anymore?

Be careful with advertised prices, a lot of dealers will include every rebate possible to advertise a lower price even though most wont qualify of them. Asking us if they will honor the 49k anymore is also pointless because the dealer has the final say. If you're serious about the truck send them an email to see what they can do, DO NOT GO TO THE DEALER IN PERSON. Tell them you're serious about it and are talking to a couple dealers and hopefully they play ball

I remember looking at a couple low milage 17's and the seats looked like a garbage bag lol

Just a note - actual value is time and mileage based. That 2018 truck sitting on the lot, has a year's less retained value than the 2019 sitting next to it. It doesn't matter hw long you keep it, it's a factor.

Not much difference between 18 and 19, except PRICE.
I'd go for a good deal on an 18
