So I will take that as a round-about no. If you don't like dealing with them, then why give them your money? That being said, if I were in your shoes, which I was....I would be up front with them if they were up front with me. I would lay it out on the line and draw the line in the sand. You will be able to tell pretty quickly if they are blowing wind up your butt as there are enough people on this board who know EVERYTHING there is starting at KTP and ending with the truck being delivered.

That's all I got.

Before we decided to order a 2017 F350, the Ford dealer searched 7 states for a 2016 F350 that came close to meeting our specifications.

If there are any dealers in the south central to east Texas area with a 250/350 with lariat or king ranch ultimate package, long bed, power stroke, 4x4, spray bed liner in white gold, blue jean or caribou send me a message. I'm ready to go.

That was the worst time for me also, especially when I would see mine at the rail yard not moving, and it only had to go 30 miles to the dealer. But finally received it. overall, my order experience was really good, first time I have ever done it. I would do it again.

That is my kind of dealer! I know of them from years ago when I lived down in the Texas Hill Country.

Thanks for the recommendation. I found my truck this morning at 8:00 am. Head to dealer tomorrow to get price on my trade in. Truck is in transit and set to arrive next week.

I bought my 2017 F450 platinum from McLane ford of Fredericksburg and my experience was awesome. It was the best experience I have had in a long time. My sales persons name is Felipe. The owner is really nice and the whole staff was awesome.

Congrats on finding your truck. I did the exact same thing, found a dealer ordered in transit. It arrived at the rail port 20 miles away Friday...waiting for a transport truck to haul it over to the dealer...I'm starting to get the shakes and pace back and forth. I HATE waiting, hate it hate it hate it. Well I'm off to obsessively check my email every 5 minutes.......
