Anyone have suggestions on dealerships they'd recommend? I'm game for just about anything. Ease of execution is my main goal. I do prefer e-mail to start. I will have a trade-in of a Mini, so I know that's an entirely different beast. But I don't want to get hosed either.

Any help would be great. I plan on starting to ramp up the process about mid-June. I'm in the Tampa Bay Area, but willing to travel if needed.

Thanks in advance.

I also also live in Tampa and I bought my truck 3 weeks ago. I did extensive research and it came down to Jarret Ford (they have 5 dealers in the area, try jarretford.com) and Countryside Ford (Clearwater). I ended up buying from countryside Ford because they had the exact truck I wanted. These dealers are selling their trucks at invoice price less any available rebate. I got mine for 10k less than the MSRP. I also had the chance to go with an X plan, and they did all the numbers in front on me for both options (with and without X plan). It was pretty much the same. The X plan I think it was $200 cheaper. However , by using the X plan, they were not willing to work with me about a few things I wanted added to the truck (like the drop in Bed liner ) so at the end I didn't use the X plan and they gave me the bed liner at half the price. I hope this helps.
