Most dealers are still trying to charge ADM of around $10K-15 in the midwest. I looked at multiple trucks that were priced in the $115-120 range... which i just couldn't stomach.
Ended up driving about an hour out of STL to a dealership located near my hometown as a kid. ended up paying just over MSRP - and the buying experience was great as well. LAURA Ford in Sullivan, MO.
What was a little hard to stomach is "MSRP" is almost $9K more (Base sticker price from FORD) than it was less than a year ago... I suppose this is not a truck to buy if you aren't willing to open up your wallet. I remember the F-150s used to be this way as well.
I am grateful that my particular truck did not have a bunch of the deletes I have seen on others (like the climate control screens in the dials), so I am feeling pretty good about my purchase, all things considered.
