Default Ordering Price Discrepancy

Looking for some help. I just put an order in for a 2016 F-150 Lariat. I ordered it with the 502A package. The MSRP price on fords website, as well as on all window stickers I've seen, has been $6995 for the option. However, when I put the order in the price suddenly jumped to $7795. I asked the dealer and they said there was nothing they could do since that was the price they got from Ford.
Is anyone else seeing this price jumping and if so has anyone been able to get ford to adjust the price back to what we're seeing online and on the Windows?

There's another thread on here about ford increasing the price of the Lariat's ~$780 as of 4/11/16.

I believe every manufacturer has a mid-year price increase. It may be what you are experiencing on the build site.

I found two 2016 XLT Sports equipped exactly the same way option-for-option, including the color. One of them was $640 more than the other. The first increase I noticed was the 3.5L Ecoboost. One truck was $1995 and the other was $2195. I don't recall the other differences, but I quickly bought the truck that was $640 cheaper.

I bought mine in March and still got overcharged $780 for this. I'm in the middle of emails trying to get this refunded.

I started a thread on this back in late March or early April. 502a went from $6995 ($63xx invoice/xplan price) to $7795.

Apples to apples the price went up about $7-800.

I know this is going to be a fight with the dealership since it took them 3 weeks to submit my order and the price went up during that time but they're lucky I didn't cancel my order and go with another dealership let alone pay another $800.

Yes, I've noticed discrepancies like that on the build and price site. I wasn't affected by what you experienced since I got mine very early in March. One thing I noticed was the Sirius/XM deal on the build/price site where it clearly said "a 6 month trial subscription", but when I checked my online account it showed it was only 3 months. When I contacted Ford customer service, all they said was 'sorry about the misunderstanding and the error on their site'. What you've experienced is a much bigger deal and I wish you the best of luck getting a decent resolution.

I will have to go back an check, but I am fairly certain my SiriusXM package is 5 years. It stood out for me because my GMC had a 6 month trial.

I went back to the X-plan site, then to the build and price site again about a half hour ago, and it's still there. And my apologies to Chesterfield - not trying to hijack your thread with this info...

I still have to look in my truck, but I believe the statement in the bottom of your screenshot covers my situation.
"SiriusXM is standard on Lariat, Kings Ranch and Platinum and optional on XL and XLT."

ON EDIT: I found the Ford F150 brochure. It appears that SiriusXM radio is a 6 month trial and Navigation with SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link is a 5 year trial.
