These new fenders are sharp as if they are sculpted to match the vehicle. They don't appear to protrude unduly and out of balance with the front of the vehicle like those of the current generation. I almost pulled the trigger on the duals but want was greater than need. I never would have considered it on the older style which appeared disproportionate unless loaded with a trailer or camper which duplicated the side stance.
Dealer stock orders should start hitting lots in the first part of August if all goes as Ford plans. You technically can't order a truck when the order banks open. The first line of ordering is for dealer stock only. However, a dealer can order exactly what you want as a low priority stock order and sell it to you when it comes in. Mine offered to do this for me.
As to price, the easiest way to get a good deal on a hot redesigned model is to get an X-Plan pin. Sometimes you can get Ford employees on the forums to give them out. I have found it much easier to just join EAA.... Experimental Aircraft Association. As a Ford partner, their members can generate their own X-Plan pins. It's only $40 a year and is a VERY easy way to get your X-Plan pin without searching and begging. Supposedly, you have to be a member of the EAA for 60 days before you can generate a pin. However, the last time I bought a truck in 2012 I was able to generate my PIN immediately after joining. I'm not sure if this is still the case so if you plan to go this route, I'd join now to ensure you can generate one before your truck comes in.
X-Plan is .4% under invoice and limits the doc fees a dealer can charge to $100. Current rebates also apply but if you are ordering as soon as they are available, rebates likely won't be offered.
X-Plan pricing is also available for Ford stock holders. Once you have 100 shares of Ford (F) stock for 6 months you can get a pin # for X-Plan pricing. It takes less than a week by email to get your # by scanning stock ownership proof with your emailed application. Pin # is good for 12 months and 2 pin #s max per year.
