Six things to know before you shop

Every truck here already qualifiesAll ten of your requirements are met by all 111 — SuperCrew, 5.5' box, 4x4, non-hybrid, 10,200 lb or more of towing, gray or silver, heated seats, heated wheel, 36-gallon tank and power-adjustable pedals. They are ranked on what separates them, never on whether they qualify.

The V8 costs you towing capacityThis edition documents every 5.0L V8 that qualifies alongside the 3.5L EcoBoost trucks. The engine is a real fork, not a preference: a V8 needs the 3.73 axle merely to reach your 10,200 lb floor, and even with Max Tow it stops at 12,800 lb where the EcoBoost reaches 13,100. A V8 on the 3.31 axle tows 9,200 and is excluded outright. Below $70,000 of sticker, no V8 in the country cleared all ten gates.

The $395 box almost nobody tickedThe Max Tow axle buys 2,600 lb of towing for about $395 and cannot be added afterwards. Only 42 of 713 qualifying trucks nationwide have it, and 30 are documented here. They are the only trucks in this dossier that tow 12,800 or 13,100 lb. Every other one sits at 10,500 or 10,200 — at or barely over your floor, before passengers and tongue weight are counted.

8 of these are demonstratorsSold as new, but driven as demos or loaners: Lynch Ford 4,775 mi, Freeway Ford 3,903 mi, Platinum Ford North 3,100 mi, Hines Park Ford 1,961 mi, Elder Ford of Tampa 1,714 mi and 3 more. The cheapest truck in the dossier is one of them, and that is why it is cheapest. They are flagged on every page rather than removed — a discounted demonstrator can still be the right truck, but it should be your decision, not a surprise.

The advertised price often is not your price30 of these dealers offer no discount any buyer can simply take — every advertised dollar is loyalty, military, first responder or college money. Others advertise A/Z Plan prices, which are Ford employee and retiree pricing and need a PIN: Hines Park does it on both its trucks, hiding $9,940 on one and $7,785 on the other, and Morrie's Okemos hides $7,582. Every ranking in this dossier adds that money back, so you are comparing prices you can actually get.

Florida is where the fees liveFees never appear in the advertised price, and 92 of 111 prices here were checked against the dealer's own page. The six heaviest fee stacks in this dossier are all Florida — Bill Currie $1,807, Gary Yeomans $1,698, Elder Tampa $1,633 — typically a four-figure 'dealer fee' plus an electronic filing fee of $299–$508 against a genuine pass-through rate of $20–$50. 3 dealers charge nothing at all. Every price here is cash out.

Best Overall — Overview — part 1 of 6

Ranked by the weighted score. Cash out is what you actually pay: the lower of the two published prices, plus any mandatory fee not already inside it. The discount columns read as a waterfall — start at MSRP, subtract what anyone can get, and that is the cash-out figure. The targeted column is money you only see if you qualify. Feature-by-feature detail for these same trucks is on the next page.

Ranked in the same order as the Best Overall page. Dealer names link to the vehicle's detail page. Under prefer to avoid, ⚠ means the truck is fitted with something you would rather not pay for; a dash means it is not. Every truck here satisfies every must-have, so that column has been dropped.

Best Value — Overview — part 1 of 6

Merit is a single 0–10 figure for how much of what you asked for a truck actually has — towing equipment, comfort features, and how little unwanted content you are paying for. It deliberately ignores price and distance. That is the whole point: if merit already included price, then dividing by price would double-count it, and the cheapest truck would always look like the best value no matter what it lacked. $ per merit is simply cash out divided by merit — what each point of “stuff you wanted” costs you. Lower is better. A truck with 90% of what you want for materially less money wins here, which is exactly what this page is for.

Ranked in the same order as the Best Value page. Dealer names link to the vehicle's detail page. Under prefer to avoid, ⚠ means the truck is fitted with something you would rather not pay for; a dash means it is not. Every truck here satisfies every must-have, so that column has been dropped.

The Efficient Frontier

These are the only trucks where nothing else in this dossier is simultaneously cheaper and better matched. The test is mechanical and takes two numbers: cash-out price and merit. Truck A is knocked off the list if some truck B costs no more and scores no lower, and beats it on at least one of the two. If no such B exists, A survives — so every truck here is the cheapest way to buy its own level of merit, and nothing else in the set can be described as strictly better.

$57,150	6.82	10,200	501A	460	Corwin Ford Republic▸

$68,407	8.23	10,200	502A	965	Gary Yeomans Ford Ocala Villages▸

$70,283	8.95	12,800	502A	1466	Corwin Ford of Spokane▸
$74,295	9.49	12,800	502A	14	Wickstrom Auto Group▸

Read it as a staircase, not a ranking. Corwin at $57,150 is the least money that buys your requirements at all. Each step up buys measurably more: Don Vance adds equipment for $1,960 over Corwin, Elmhurst adds the head-up display and puts the truck 29 miles from you, Hines Park is the cheapest 13,100 lb truck in the set, and Wickstrom at $74,295 is the highest-merit truck that exists here at any price. Where you stop is a budget decision — but stopping between steps, on a truck that is not on this list, means paying more than you need to for what you get.

Two cautions. The frontier is drawn on cash out, so fees are already inside it — but distance is not. Corwin is 460 miles away and Jarrett Gordon is 1,049. And merit is deliberately blind to price and distance, which is what lets the two axes be traded honestly; it is not blind to equipment you did not ask for, which is why an FX4 truck can score below a plainer one costing the same.

The same test, run only on trucks within 250 miles

Remove the out-of-region trucks and the frontier grows from eight to nine: four trucks that lose nationally win once Corwin, Jarrett Gordon and Don Vance are off the board. Every truck below is the cheapest way to buy its level of merit without leaving the region — the practical shortlist if a round trip to Missouri or Florida is not on the table. The page opposite names, for each truck that is off the national list, the specific truck that displaces it.

Nothing is excluded by opinion. A truck is off the frontier only when a specific, named truck in this same dossier costs less and scores at least as well. Beaten by counts how many do this; the columns after it name the strongest and the size of the gap.

The last column matters if you will not travel. A truck that loses nationally can still win once the set is cut to 250 miles, because the trucks beating it are hundreds of miles away. If that drive is not something you will do, those come back onto the shortlist. Read the gaps, not just the count. A truck beaten on merit by 0.01 is the same truck as its rival in everything but price; one beaten by nine trucks at once is not close. The frontier is a filter, not a verdict — a near miss that is 20 miles away may still be the right purchase.

Local Targets, National Leverage

Walk in with these. %off is discount against the window-sticker MSRP, which normalizes for equipment — a dealer understands “they are giving seventeen points and you are giving eight” far better than a raw price comparison between differently-optioned trucks. Edge is that gap.

Two dealers advertise A/Z Plan prices. Hines Park's entire $9,940 discount and $6,703 of Serra's are labeled A/Z Plan — Ford employee, retiree and family pricing. Unless you hold a PIN, those advertised prices are not available to you and the real numbers are roughly $80,815 and $65,729.

cars.com under-reports factory money. Golf Mill, Rod Baker, Hiller, Heller and Woodhouse all showed zero everyone-money on cars.com; their own sites show $4,487–$10,518. The listing feed is not a reliable record of what is actually on the hood.

Twelve of these dealers already include the documentary fee in the advertised price. Adding it again overstates the cash outlay, so the cash-out figures in this dossier no longer do that.

Correction. I previously flagged Kunes for stacking a $599 Wisconsin service fee on top of its advertised price. Their own site states the fee is included — they are Trans 139 compliant and that flag was wrong.

How the numbers are made

Scoring Legend

Six weighted categories produce the overall. Evidence quality is reported separately and never summed — a gap in our paperwork should flag uncertainty, not subtract from a truck that is genuinely well equipped. Must-haves are gates, not weights. Every figure in the Rate column and the sensitivity table is movement in the overall score — subscore change × category weight — so all of them are directly comparable.

Change	Δ overall	Why

$10,000 of price	0.37	1.56 subscore × 24%
Adding a Head-Up Display	0.46	1.9 subscore × 24%

Adding a tonneau cover	0.12	0.5 subscore × 24%
$4,875 of avoid-options (Schaumburg)	0.36	5.1 subscore × 7%

Read this before arguing with a ranking. Distance at 17% outweighs every individual piece of equipment: driving 460 miles instead of 14 costs more than a head-up display, a trailer brake controller and a tonneau cover combined. That is a choice about your convenience, not a statement about the trucks — and it is the weight most likely to want changing.

Evidence appears on every vehicle header as a 0–10 figure. 10 means every powertrain and equipment fact came off that truck's own window sticker; below 9 means something was derived from Ford's reference tables and should be confirmed with the dealer.

The best-value option in the search: the Max Tow axle (XL5/XL7) is $395 and adds 2,600 lb of capacity. Cheapest meaningful upgrade here and the rarest — 42 trucks in 713.

The two you said to avoid cost real money: the moonroof is $1,495 on six of these trucks, FX4 is $1,320 on nine — $2,815 of content you did not ask for, priced into the trucks that carry it.

This is the direction that costs you. The dossier prices this truck at the cars.com figure of $73,917, because that is what they are advertising publicly. Screenshot it. If the desk opens at $78,453 you are being asked for $4,536 more than their own listing.

The read

This is the truck. Fourteen miles away, and one of exactly two in the country pairing the 5.0L V8 with the Max Tow axle — 12,800 lb against a floor of 10,200, with Tow/Haul, the head-up display, power tow mirrors and a spray-in liner already fitted. Nothing else in the qualifying set combines that capability with that proximity. The objection is the money: at 7.7% off sticker it is the worst-discounted truck in the set against a median of 10.1%, and $6,200 of its advertised saving is targeted cash you probably cannot claim. It also carries FX4, which you said you would rather not pay for. Walk in knowing the discount is the soft spot, not the truck.

The read

Rated 10,500 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. $4,914 of the discount is available to anyone, which is the part you can count on.

Watch items

Listing shows manufacturer stock renders, not photographs of this vehicle. You cannot judge its condition from the listing.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,500 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

The read

One of only 42 trucks in the whole qualifying set with the Max Tow axle, rated 12,800 lb against your 10,200 lb floor. The harder problem is the money: not one dollar of the advertised saving is available without a qualification. Treat the advertised number as the price and negotiate from there.

Watch items

No discount available to everyone. Every incentive listed requires a qualification you may not hold; a buyer with none of them pays the advertised price in full.

The read

Rated 10,200 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. The harder problem is the money: not one dollar of the advertised saving is available without a qualification. Treat the advertised number as the price and negotiate from there. And it is a demonstrator with 1,404 miles — price it as one.

Watch items

Odometer reads 1,404 miles. This is a demonstrator, not a delivery-mileage truck.
No discount available to everyone. Every incentive listed requires a qualification you may not hold; a buyer with none of them pays the advertised price in full.
Listing shows manufacturer stock renders, not photographs of this vehicle. You cannot judge its condition from the listing.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.
1,404 MILES - demo/loaner. Seller states no dealer fees.

The read

One of only 42 trucks in the whole qualifying set with the Max Tow axle, rated 12,800 lb against your 10,200 lb floor. The money is unusually clean — $8,832 of it needs no qualification at all. Push back on the $798 of optional fees before anything else; they are pure margin.

The read

Rated 10,200 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. $4,864 of the discount is available to anyone, which is the part you can count on.

Watch items

Wisconsin Trans 139 requires the dealer service fee to sit inside the advertised price. It is added on top here — a compliance question and direct leverage.
Listing shows manufacturer stock renders, not photographs of this vehicle. You cannot judge its condition from the listing.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for. On a 5.0L it can also bring the 3.31 axle, which would not clear your tow floor — confirm the axle code.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

Watch items

Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for.

The read

Rated 10,500 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. The money is unusually clean — $10,236 of it needs no qualification at all.

Watch items

Wisconsin Trans 139 requires the dealer service fee to sit inside the advertised price. It is added on top here — a compliance question and direct leverage.
Listing shows manufacturer stock renders, not photographs of this vehicle. You cannot judge its condition from the listing.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,500 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

The read

Rated 10,500 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. The money is unusually clean — $10,004 of it needs no qualification at all.

Watch items

Wisconsin Trans 139 requires the dealer service fee to sit inside the advertised price. It is added on top here — a compliance question and direct leverage.
Listing shows manufacturer stock renders, not photographs of this vehicle. You cannot judge its condition from the listing.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,500 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

⚠ dealer site is HIGHER by$4,500

This is the direction that costs you. The dossier prices this truck at the cars.com figure of $74,934, because that is what they are advertising publicly. Screenshot it. If the desk opens at $79,434 you are being asked for $4,500 more than their own listing.

Metro's own headline is $79,434 - ABOVE its own stated MSRP of $78,935. The cars.com $74,934 equals the Metro price less $4,500 of rebates the site notes separately as 'Includes All Regional Rebates*'. Walk in expecting $79,434 to be quoted.

The read

Watch items

Odometer reads 1,197 miles. This is a demonstrator, not a delivery-mileage truck.
No discount available to everyone. Every incentive listed requires a qualification you may not hold; a buyer with none of them pays the advertised price in full.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,500 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.
1,197 MILES - demo/loaner. Zero tier-1.

No legal cap. But Utah Admin. Code R877-23V-14 makes the dealer post a sign stating the documentary service fee is not set or mandated by statute or rule. That is an admission it is negotiable. Market benchmark about $300.
$397 is $97 above the ~$300 UT benchmark — no cap applies, so negotiate the vehicle price down by the difference.

The read

Rated 10,500 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. The money is unusually clean — $9,281 of it needs no qualification at all.

Watch items

Listing shows manufacturer stock renders, not photographs of this vehicle. You cannot judge its condition from the listing.
The dealer publishes a render in the wrong color for this VIN — generic art reused across listings. The sticker is the authority on color, not the picture.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,500 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

This is the direction that costs you. The dossier prices this truck at the cars.com figure of $66,392, because that is what they are advertising publicly. Screenshot it. If the desk opens at $73,974 you are being asked for $7,582 more than their own listing.

read from the dealer page, labelled “Morrie's Best Price” The cars.com price of $66,392 matches this dealer's A/Z Plan figure of $66,112. That is Ford employee and retiree pricing — unless you hold a PIN, the advertised price is not available to you.

No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for. On a 5.0L it can also bring the 3.31 axle, which would not clear your tow floor — confirm the axle code.

No legal cap. Fla. Stat. 501.976 requires the fee be disclosed and charged uniformly to every customer, and included in any advertised price. A dealer therefore cannot discount it for you alone — push the vehicle price down by the excess instead. Market benchmark about $910.

The dealer's own site is $4,500 cheaper than the cars.com advertisement. cars.com quotes $68,302, which is MSRP less the dealer discount plus the doc fee but before Ford's factory cash. Evansville's page applies it: MSRP $72,925 − $5,022 dealer discount − $4,500 factory cash + $399 doc fee = $63,802. This dossier uses the lower figure.

Reconciles exactly. cars.com published NO MSRP for this truck; the dealer site gives $74,840, so the discount is $10,633 - far more than the $6,395 price-cut cars.com showed. Still a 4,775-mile demonstrator.

The read

Rated 10,500 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. $6,395 of the discount is available to anyone, which is the part you can count on. And it is a demonstrator with 4,775 miles — price it as one.

Watch items

Odometer reads 4,775 miles. This is a demonstrator, not a delivery-mileage truck.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,500 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.
4,775 MILES - heavily used demo, NOT a new truck. No MSRP listed.

Listed by Haldeman Ford Hamilton, not the group's Subaru store that cars.com names. Its page is simply MSRP $73,620 + $598 doc fee = $74,218. There is no discount at all — not a dollar of dealer money and no factory cash applied, against $6,200 of targeted offers dangled. This is why the advertised price sits above the window sticker: it is the fee, not a market markup.

The read

Rated 10,200 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. $4,680 of the discount is available to anyone, which is the part you can count on.

Watch items

No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for. On a 5.0L it can also bring the 3.31 axle, which would not clear your tow floor — confirm the axle code.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

No legal cap. Fla. Stat. 501.976 requires the fee be disclosed and charged uniformly to every customer, and included in any advertised price. A dealer therefore cannot discount it for you alone — push the vehicle price down by the excess instead. Market benchmark about $910.
$1,633 is $723 above the ~$910 FL benchmark — no cap applies, so negotiate the vehicle price down by the difference.

The read

Rated 10,200 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. The money is unusually clean — $19,663 of it needs no qualification at all. And it is a demonstrator with 1,714 miles — price it as one.

Watch items

Odometer reads 1,714 miles. This is a demonstrator, not a delivery-mileage truck.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for. On a 5.0L it can also bring the 3.31 axle, which would not clear your tow floor — confirm the axle code.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

Dealer price already includes the documentary fee — not added again above.

Verified on samleman.com: MSRP $73,005 − $12,500 “Discounts & Incentives” + $412 fees = $60,917, matching cars.com exactly. That $12,500 is a single unitemised lump. It is the right size to contain the $4,500 anyone can take plus $6,200 of targeted offers (loyalty, military, college, Farm Bureau, first responder, first-time buyer) and only ~$1,800 of actual dealer discount. Ask them to itemise it — if it is stacked that way, a buyer holding none of those qualifications pays about $6,200 more. The page also marks this truck In Transit.

The read

Rated 10,200 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. The money is unusually clean — $13,568 of it needs no qualification at all.

Watch items

No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

Fees

Dealer fee MANDATORY$1,199

Electronic filing fee MANDATORY$299

No legal cap. Fla. Stat. 501.976 requires the fee be disclosed and charged uniformly to every customer, and included in any advertised price. A dealer therefore cannot discount it for you alone — push the vehicle price down by the excess instead. Market benchmark about $910.
$1,498 is $588 above the ~$910 FL benchmark — no cap applies, so negotiate the vehicle price down by the difference.

The read

Rated 10,200 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. The money is unusually clean — $11,961 of it needs no qualification at all.

Watch items

No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for. On a 5.0L it can also bring the 3.31 axle, which would not clear your tow floor — confirm the axle code.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

MSRP $73,135 − $9,557 total discount = $63,578, matching cars.com exactly. The closing fee is $489, not the $349 cars.com reported; Berkeley's disclaimer states it is included in the advertised price. South Carolina presumes $225 reasonable, so $489 is $264 above the safe harbour and reviewable by the Department — say so. Their disclaimer also warns some incentives “may have certain conditions, such as being financed through a required specific lender”: confirm the $5,057 does not require Ford Credit financing.

The read

Rated 10,200 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. The money is unusually clean — $9,557 of it needs no qualification at all.

Watch items

Listing shows manufacturer stock renders, not photographs of this vehicle. You cannot judge its condition from the listing.
The dealer publishes a render in the wrong color for this VIN — generic art reused across listings. The sticker is the authority on color, not the picture.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

Fees

Predelivery service charge MANDATORY$799

Private tag agency charge MANDATORY$199

No legal cap. Fla. Stat. 501.976 requires the fee be disclosed and charged uniformly to every customer, and included in any advertised price. A dealer therefore cannot discount it for you alone — push the vehicle price down by the excess instead. Market benchmark about $910.
$998 is $88 above the ~$910 FL benchmark — no cap applies, so negotiate the vehicle price down by the difference.

Mendoza's own page shows no discount of any kind: MSRP $75,095 + $23 convenience + $425 document + $15 notary = $75,558. cars.com advertised the MSRP alone and stated “seller has not disclosed fees”, so $463 of fees were previously unaccounted for. Mendoza advertises a site-wide “$9,000 off MSRP” offer gated behind an enquiry form; it is not tied to this VIN and could not be verified, so it is not in the price above. Ask whether it applies to this VIN in writing, and whether it stacks with the $6,200 of targeted offers.

The read

Watch items

No discount available to everyone. Every incentive listed requires a qualification you may not hold; a buyer with none of them pays the advertised price in full.
Listing shows manufacturer stock renders, not photographs of this vehicle. You cannot judge its condition from the listing.
The dealer publishes a render in the wrong color for this VIN — generic art reused across listings. The sticker is the authority on color, not the picture.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for.

The read

One of only 42 trucks in the whole qualifying set with the Max Tow axle, rated 13,100 lb against your 10,200 lb floor. $4,501 of the discount is available to anyone, which is the part you can count on.

Watch items

Wisconsin Trans 139 requires the dealer service fee to sit inside the advertised price. It is added on top here — a compliance question and direct leverage.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for.

The read

Rated 10,200 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. The money is unusually clean — $11,613 of it needs no qualification at all.

Watch items

Listing shows manufacturer stock renders, not photographs of this vehicle. You cannot judge its condition from the listing.
The dealer's own images are watermarked “Not in Stock — In Transit”. Confirm the truck has actually landed before committing to anything.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

At $57,150 all-in it is the cheapest real cash outlay here. The catch is capability — 10,200 lb, sitting exactly on your floor with zero margin, because it is a 5.0L on the 3.73 axle without Max Tow. And it is 460 miles away in Missouri, with a $620 documentary fee that Illinois would not permit. Worth using as a price anchor even if you never drive to it.

Watch items

Listing shows manufacturer stock renders, not photographs of this vehicle. You cannot judge its condition from the listing.
The dealer's own listing images are branded “HAIL SALE PRICING”. That usually means the lot took a hailstorm. Ask directly whether this truck has hail damage, what was repaired, and whether it carries a damage disclosure — before you price it as an undamaged truck.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for. On a 5.0L it can also bring the 3.31 axle, which would not clear your tow floor — confirm the axle code.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

MSRP $70,915 − $1,000 Moser discount + $148 document preparation = $70,063, matching cars.com exactly. The discount is $1,000 — 1.4% — and no factory cash is applied at all, so the $4,500 every other dealer here passes on is still on the table. Ask for it. Against that, their fee terms are the best in this dossier: the page states sales tax and the $148 document charge are the only additional fees, well under Indiana's $251 cap.

This is the direction that costs you. The dossier prices this truck at the cars.com figure of $69,500, because that is what they are advertising publicly. Screenshot it. If the desk opens at $72,785 you are being asked for $3,285 more than their own listing.

Dealer price already includes the documentary fee — not added again above.

read from the dealer page, labelled “Final Price:”. The dealer builds that figure by subtracting an A/Z discount of $7,785 — Ford employee and retiree pricing, which needs a PIN. The price shown here adds it back, so it is what a retail buyer pays

FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for. On a 5.0L it can also bring the 3.31 axle, which would not clear your tow floor — confirm the axle code.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

Fees

Dealer service fee MANDATORY$995

Electronic filing fee MANDATORY$499

No legal cap. Fla. Stat. 501.976 requires the fee be disclosed and charged uniformly to every customer, and included in any advertised price. A dealer therefore cannot discount it for you alone — push the vehicle price down by the excess instead. Market benchmark about $910.
$1,494 is $584 above the ~$910 FL benchmark — no cap applies, so negotiate the vehicle price down by the difference.

This truck is at Prosper Ford in Prosper, Texas — not Gary Yeomans in Ocala, Florida. cars.com attributed it to the wrong rooftop, which is why an earlier check could not find it. Its own page: MSRP $75,910 − $10,920 dealer discount + $225 doc fee = $65,215, and $65,215 − $5,000 factory cash = $60,215, matching cars.com exactly. The correction matters: Texas rules and a $225 doc fee apply, not Florida's and $1,199. $1,997 of optional accessories are listed separately.

The read

Rated 10,500 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. The money is unusually clean — $15,920 of it needs no qualification at all. Push back on the $1,997 of optional fees before anything else; they are pure margin.

Watch items

$1,997 of optional fees stacked on top of the documentary fee.
Listing shows manufacturer stock renders, not photographs of this vehicle. You cannot judge its condition from the listing.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,500 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.
$1,698 IN FEES - by far the worst in the set. Doc fee $1,199 is extreme even for Florida.

$798 of optional fees stacked on top of the documentary fee.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for. On a 5.0L it can also bring the 3.31 axle, which would not clear your tow floor — confirm the axle code.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

The read

Rated 10,200 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. The money is unusually clean — $15,300 of it needs no qualification at all. And it is a demonstrator with 3,100 miles — price it as one.

Watch items

Odometer reads 3,100 miles. This is a demonstrator, not a delivery-mileage truck.
Listing shows manufacturer stock renders, not photographs of this vehicle. You cannot judge its condition from the listing.
The dealer publishes a render in the wrong color for this VIN — generic art reused across listings. The sticker is the authority on color, not the picture.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for. On a 5.0L it can also bring the 3.31 axle, which would not clear your tow floor — confirm the axle code.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

No legal cap. Fla. Stat. 501.976 requires the fee be disclosed and charged uniformly to every customer, and included in any advertised price. A dealer therefore cannot discount it for you alone — push the vehicle price down by the excess instead. Market benchmark about $910.

The read

Rated 10,500 lb — it clears your floor but without the Max Tow axle there is no reserve once gear and passengers are aboard. The money is unusually clean — $13,671 of it needs no qualification at all.

No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,500 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
FX4 Off-Road Package fitted — skid plates and off-road shocks you said you would rather not pay for.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.

No discount available to everyone. Every incentive listed requires a qualification you may not hold; a buyer with none of them pays the advertised price in full.
No Max Tow axle. Rated 10,200 lb against your 10,200 lb floor.
Twin-panel moonroof fitted — option cost you did not ask for.
Ask the dealer for the axle option code. A sticker reading only the ratio cannot distinguish XL6 from XL7, and the difference is 2,600 lb.
