Default Base !SRP price difference. Why?

so after going back and forth about the truck I decided that I’m just going to build and get what I want. So when building the truck through the website the base MSRP for the XLT is 42995 but every sticker that I have looked at online on already made trucks the base is 41725. I thought that maybe it was the year the truck was made but that made no difference. I chatted with Ford last night and you can Ipimagine how helpful they were. They advised me to contact my dealer. My do could have given me a better answer. Anyways. I was just curious if anyone knew cause that’s the price of leather right there.

If you look at the sticker, that is likely a package discount.

I analyzed the sticker I can’t see it. The package fixings come off after however it looks like the online pricing is wrong because when i added a feature lock locking diff it included itbintbhe vase price however it also charged for it in the add ons. I will get a better idea tonight when I talk the dealer

No idea. Your posts are so full of typos it's hard to understand.

Keep in mind that depending when a truck is built, the price differs as there are price changes throughout the year, including package discount changes throughout the year.

Of course MSRP is irrelevant. What matters is INVOICE PRICE, which is what you should start from, plus rebates.

And it's not the price of leather, since the XLT doesn't come with leather...

^^^This is often the case from what I saw as well, online vs sticker show them in different places. End number should be the same though.

Yea..sorry about that, big fingers with a small phone.
Here is an example http://www.windowsticker.forddirect....EW1EP0JFB60670. The base MSRP shows $41,725 before options but when you build online the base MSRP goes to $42,995. Spent part of last night and this morning trying to figure this out but I am not having any luck, I guess I will try to seek better answers at the dealer tonight.

That truck was built 2 months ago, 12/6/17 (and ordered months before that). That's a 3% difference. I don't track the price increases, but that's likely it. Or the online configurator is off for some reason.

You can't build trucks online and then compare to vehicles sitting on the lot. Prices change all the time. All you should focus on is either what's available or how much they want to order one for. And again, if you get X-Plan, you get access to a website that gives you the X-Plan price for any vehicle on a dealer's lot. And also for build and price.

Price fluctuates. When looking for my truck I wanted a 5.0 L motor. Depending on the production date it was either no charge, $300 add on or $1000 add on. Dealer told me that prices like this can vary through the year. Maybe different dealer incentives, option packages etc. I remember when I bought my '11 F150 there was a ton of super cabs on sale for 30% off MSRP. Was told by a few different dealers that for so many Crew cabs dealers ordered They had to take x amount of super cabs.

Just came back from dealer and placed my order. Price came out $50 more. Got what I want and still stayed at 10.48% true dealer discount.
