Should I pull the trigger or wait a bit longer?

I'd also take into consideration that price is if you qualify for all available incentives. Some people do, some don't. For example, good credit to finance through Ford Motor Credit is worth about $500. Ford Loyalty (trading in a Ford) is worth another $500 or so. First Responder discount is $2000 right now although I doubt they would list that as an available incentive since it requires a little extra work to get. There is the recent college grad incentive but I don't know much about it. My point is that might be the rock bottom price but not all qualify.
If you don't tow at all and it's basically a DD with a good mix of highway and city, 3.31 is plenty gear and will give you the best mileage. 3.55 is a great compromise between 3.31 and 3.73, especially if you're ever going to put on bigger tires and level/lift. From personal experience, the 2.7 kicked butt even with a lift and bigger tires with 3.31.

Spoke with Holiday ford this morning with rebates they are doing around 10k off right now, not great not bad. Most every dealer on cars.com or similar is quoting prices with full rebates some even with the first responder and other hard to get ones. I guess the best way to shop is look at dealer discount and add the rebates....highest dealer discount works. I wonder how X plan factors into all this.
