[quote=WV-150;685474]Depends on the dealership.If it is something that will sell easy most will not ask for deposit.I once had a dealer I had bought several off of if they could order a new truck in my name and not take it when it comes in.Seems they had a dealer stock allotment but special orders did not count.It gave then another for their inventory.[/quote
Same here, salesguys want as many vehicles on the lot as possible. Besides you are not obligated to take it. Plus, in my situation they gave me a used P/U to drive for over 4 weeks (no charge) because I had a buyer for mine. But that up to the dealer etc.,
Info. if your want to change out any equipment i.e. to close the deal, see if the dealer will exchange/swapout Harley Tails, Grille etc. It cost me a few dollars for the difference, between the exchange, but saved me big $$$$. I cant remember the difference in the grille, paint labor etc. but both tails cost me $20.oo to exchange.

I meant to write that my truck is "now" in transit. I'll call my dealer back on Thursday to see if they have an ETA.
I couldn't justify the $$$$ for FX4, so came as close as I could:
The other benefit is that I have 4 winter tire chains that I seem to use 4-5 times a year, even with 4x4. The Ford owner's manual doesn't restrict tire chains on my 17" tires.
Also 17" tires are cheaper than larger sizes.
I couldn't justify the $$$$ for FX4, so came as close as I could:
- SuperCrew XLT with 5.0L
- 4x4 with 3.73 e-locker and skid plates
- Cloth Bucket Seats (I'll order Wet Okole covers for them)
- Tow Package
- XLT Convenience & Plus Packages
- Backup Camera
- Keyless Entry
