I emailed about 10 dealers in the area to check out what they were offering some good some bad. Bickford was higher than a few others i contacted. Have you found a dealer that has what you want? To be fair, I do like Bickford and my dad bought his last truck their but they weren't on my list because of price.

I just started contacting dealers. Bickford offered MSRP. I countered with an offer but haven't heard back yet. I'm waiting for a couple other dealers to get back to me. I'm not looking to steal their lunch, but I also think they have some wiggle room. We'll see.
I pretty sure I'll have to order to get the options I want and/or don't want.

That is likely including rebates and incentives. There are also different markups per model and options. What was invoice on yours?

Frequently, lot vehicles are discounted greater than placed orders from my experience and searching. Common sense tell you that placing an order is almost zero work for a dealer to sell the vehicle and should in turn be the best deal offered. Unfortunately not.

My experience as well, I don't special order any more after my favorite fleet guy retired. I get a decent price on vehicles in stock now, I don't go for every penny, my time is more important. Give me a fair deal or I go elsewhere, I don't do the endless back and forth.

If you know what you want it makes things easier. What I would recommend if you want a lot purchase is to browse trucktrader.com and use the filter to find what dealer has trucks that you like and negotiate price from there. I was very specific on what I wanted and didn't want for options on mine, so I special ordered. I ordered on 1/3 and should be picking it up tomorrow.

I shopped from north of Seattle to Salem, OR and never did find a dealer up near Seattle/Tacoma that was willing to discount much when ordering.
Assuming you don't have a trade...both Courtesy Ford and Suburban Ford near Portland were willing to custom order for 10% off MRSP. Both low balled me on my trade however so I ended up buying off the lot at Canby Ford, they gave me a fair price on my trade.
