If you want a badass road truck, then get the Harley.

If you want a badass offroad truck, get the FX4.

EITHER way, I would suggest shopping at a different dealer. There are better deals to be had on both trucks.

I can't imagine a dealer wouldn't order you a new truck.... wtf.

There are plenty of 12s around, just have them get you a 12 if that's what you want to do

I ordered my 2013 in August and got at it at invoice before rebates. That dealer needs to take a hike. Where are you located, surely one of the members on here can direct you to a good dealer.

People are correct that you should go to another dealer. I work for a ford dealer and I can tell you that we do not survive without you as a customer. Our job is to find the car that the customer wants-not what we want to sell them. A true salesman job is not to sell you a car or have an agenda when selecting the vehicle-it is simply to help you find what YOU are looking for (and true top professional salespeople in this business understand this). It seems that dealer has forgot that we work for you. Our job is to sell any car, to anyone who wants to buy it, no matter what the inventory is. If it is the car you want, get the car you want. Another dealer would be more than happy to help and this is coming from a dealer. As far as invoice on a 13-I can tell you you got an awesome deal and that will not be the norm though. Wait a few months and it will be but most dealers right now wont sell a 13 at invoice as they are trying to clean up the 12s still. If you want to get an awesome deal-I agree with what the other people are saying-buy a 12 if thats ok and get a HELL OF A DEAL on it. Ultimately, its your car, your payment, and you have to walk out to it each morning and should be happy with your decision!!!

I thought about it and i will go for the FX4, if they not ordering it, someone else will.

@Flea, waht is the difference between the two suspensions?
The FX4 has the standard 4x4 suspension, and the Harley has a sport suspension.

I love everything about my 2012 Harley, but if it's not what you want, don't buy it. The Harley was not made to do anything off road. It's has a variant of an AWD and not a true 4WD. Besides, Harley's look a bit goofy when lifted, in my opinion.

Always get what you want and not what the dealer wants you to buy. I left several dealers because they wanted me to buy a left over Lariat because it had the same engine and not what I wanted. I walked away without telling them why. I don't play that game.

Make sure they know you aren't in a hurry and can walk away from any deal from the get go. They might not try to force their truck on you.

If you want an FX4, buy an FX4.
