Need some help from my new found forum friends--

I am wanting to purchase a new F-150 , but have not found any delivered to any dealership that has the basic needs for me - as I have searched the internet inventory across the USA as has my local dealer and as well as a few other dealerships.

My basic NEEDS are a truck with these 3 things and a couple cant live withs

I need a truck with black interior , black vinyl floor covering ( no carpet ) and a 40/20/40 ( no full console to the dash area) front bench seat. Cannot get ford to accept an order for a truck like that. Cannot have a black ,white or red exterior or any sunroof

If anyone out there knows of anyone who might could make a few calls or pull a few strings to make that happen , I would be very thank full to them

Anyone??

Thanks

I have no connections to Ford anymore. It use to be Ford had Custom orders and special orders. A custom order was putting options together that normally are not found together. Ford had limits to how far out of their way they would go to do this. Special orders were for people with special needs. I remember my grandfather talking about organizing a shop at the Rouge Complex for disabled WWII vets and how much he enjoyed doing it. I don't know if Ford still does this but back then you went directly to Ford but the dealer could help you with this. Nothing on your list seems outrageous so it may be a matter of why. Vinyl floor is an option. The seat is in option. A sunroof is usually an option except some program trucks. The center consul may be there for functional reasons beyond holding your coffee and change. Not much, but can't help you anymore than this.

Well thanks for chiming in anyway!!!!

Sounds like you use to @ some point?? Maybe you might know someone who knows someone-- an old friend??

Sorry, my connections with Ford are long gone. I did find this out though. Ford cannot build 150's fast enough to keep up with demand. That may explain why you can't get a custom order in. I also found out all special orders are now outsourced. They have gone the way of the conversion van. This came from a neighbor GM gal.

sounds like you need an XL??

Go to Ford.com and build your basic XL with black vinyl interior. No center console, cloth or vinyl seats. And your choice of colors.
Commercial truck Ford dealers may have what you are looking for in stock.

Thanks for trying Grey-

Kind of close though- all still have the grey interior , I see the last one has "Special Order" on the bottom of the window sticker.

Hopefully I can get someone to order one for me

black interior is not an option unless you get the XLT or higher. the basic is gray and that may be what you have to live with. i work for a dealer and you are limited by trim level what you can order

I am fine with an XLT-

Maybe you can help me out / find out about an order for me???
