I just got my 2015 F450 Lariat pickup, white platinum metallic clear coat
With me included, 235#'s,
Full factory fuel tank
Factory gooseneck hookup, I weighed on CAT scale one mile from dealership.
Steering axle: 5,240 # and drive axle: 4040#'s
9,280#'s.
The 2015 trucks had an extra $4K incentives and $1500.00 for financing with Ford. They told me that I would have to make 3 monthly payments before paying it off of loose the $1500.
I think I am going to love it.

Exactly right Doug. I wanted to buy my truck cash but I wanted the extra Ford Motor Credit rebate. My dealer said the same thing about keeping the account open three months. The reason, I found out, is if you pay it off before three months, the dealership looses it's spiff (bonus) for writing a FOMOCO loan. I got my $1500 rebate and the next day called Ford Motor Credit and got my account number and payment address. Sent in a check that day and closed the loan.... When the rep on the phone asked why I wanted my account number so soon as it was going to be mailed in my welcome package, I was honest. She laughed and said it made perfect sense and that she would have done the same.

Yes.......Doug is correct. I talked with Ford Finance. The 3 months gives the dealership a commision. I went from crazy with Ford Finance to 2.25 with Navy Federal CU.

Like you I contacted FlyByNight Finance Co at their Holiday Hotel Suite, got the acct number and stroked a check.
Dealer called me about 45 days later and was screaming about how he gave me the deal and I paid off the loan before he got his cut...I just said remember I told you it was a company car and I was willing to pay cash in train riding dollars, right then.
