Just wanted to share this in case someone didn't know you could go look at X-Plan prices on your own.

X-Plan will allow me to buy a truck around $20 over invoice and Ford will give me $500 Bonus Cash.

Is there some sort of Veteran Bonus Cash offer I don't know about?

2017 Super Duty - When do you actually pay?
Question for you guys (and gals?) that have already ordered your 2017s; have you already paid the dealer? I'm wondering at what phase of the process does money actually exchange hands? I would be waiting until later in the year for for the 2017's ordering process to mature a little and learn more about the trucks to purchase my new '17 250 but due to tax reasons I'm needing to spend the money by the end of June (end of my biz tax year). Do you pay now or when the truck is delivered?
Just joined the forum today. I've been a member of a F150 forum for years but I'm making the super duty step up this go-around and I'm stoked!

Randall, it's generally just a deposit or a handshake to order and payment is made in full when the truck lands at the dealer. I suppose a dealer would be happy to take all your money now though locking the deal for them and helping you get your tax break. I'd ask the dealer if they'd be willing to take your money. I'm betting they won't have a problem with it....
And, welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the prompt reply. I figured like most businesses if they have a way to take a payment they certainly will. I'm not too enthusiastic about paying in full up front though as I feel I potentially lose some of my leverage as a consumer. At the same time the tax write off is important also. Tough decisions ahead I suppose. Thanks again.

RainDesert, do you recommend this as an attempt to have the truck delivered by that date, or do you mean something else? They could possibly make paperwork saying a purchase date but I think as far as taxes are concerned if the money hasn't actually moved then nothing has actually been purchased.
I certainly don't mean to direct this thread into a tax discussion so please excuse me guys. I don't have much experience with buying new trucks nor being in a financial position of needing to spend money to avoid giving it all to Uncle Sam. These good problems are new to me.
