I have done that and the dealer it goes to no call back or follow up this

Billy Howell Ford

Mall of ga Ford

Hennessy Ford

and there was one can’t remember the name

 

For starters, there’s no such thing as a supercharged F150 from the Ford factory. If you want to go this route, you need to find out which Ford dealers carry Rough vehicles and go from there.

With that out of the way and excluding the supercharger from your list and if you’re looking for OEM leather with the flow through console and floor shifter, the only vehicles that you should be calling dealers about is a “Lariat” Super Crew with the 3.5 EB.

I also live in GA and to be honest, I found the best price by going to AL when I purchased my 2016 Lariat.

The F150 is extremely popular in GA so the prices are not going to vary much amongst dealers.

You might want to give Akins or Wade Ford a call and tell them exactly what you’re looking for and go from there. I’m not sure if you can still order a 2020 from the factory so if you can’t find exactly what you want, you’re going to have to order a2021.

Good luck.

 

My recent experience with car dealers is that I had to call / email at least 20, possibly even 30 dealers (I lost count) to get somebody to get me an online quote. I had only two dealers quote me online, and one was $4K less than the other one.

I absolutely refuse to walk into a dealership and haggle price anymore with a salesman. Total waste of time.

My best deal came from straight from the sales manager online.

If you spend the time, SOMEBODY out there wants to sell you a truck for a fair price. About 1 in 25 is the way I see it.

 

To get the crew cab 6.5ft bed (I just bought a 2020 in february) i found out that the answer is: find a dealer willing to locate one or order it from them. they are not on the lot at all and most dealers want to move the inventory they have. i also found out that they may not want to order/locate one for you (3 dealers turned me down) and then they will ask why you want that particular set up. 6.5ft bed and 4 doors is like a damn unicorn. Oh and calling or emailing was pointless, they kept trying to steer me to buy what was on the lot.

 

When I was stationed in Savannah, I bought a truck at JC Lewis Ford. They treated me right and had a good service dept. Maybe try giving them a call.

 

I kept up with the Ford site and found mine when it was in route to the dealer, 2019, XLT, Agate Black, 6.5' bed. It is a unicorn as stated. Gene at Mall of Georgia Ford was helpful arranging the purchase. the options you are looking for I am guessing will be in a Lariat package making it more challenging to find

 

Don't email the website internet crew, they are a joke. Spend a minute, investigate the dealership employees / sales, they usually have bios. and interact with one that has the experience you wish to communicate with. MUCH better results.

 

Ok thanks for the tip..

 

Another way to do it, is to call the receptionist at the dealership, and ask if they have someone who specailizes in internet sales (I always make up a story about travelling for work). Then talk to the salesperson they recommend, on the phone, and let them know you will email over the specifications of the truck you want. Somehow a lot of salespeople seem to treat you better if they have heard your voice at least once. I wish this process was easier for people who want to buy in this manner, but you have to play a bit of a game to even get a quote.

 

A Lariat SuperCrew cab w/6.5' bed is a unicorn as mentioned above. If you can make due with a SuperCab (half rear doors, open clam shell) and a 6.5' bed you could have better luck finding a Lariat with what you want though still a tough find.

You will need to expand out your search nationally to find that on a lot or order one.

Another option is an XLT sport SuperCrew w/ 6.5' bed and add katzkin leather after.

 

....and that is why I ordered my Lariat Screw with 6.5 bed. two things I really enjoy can't be had on an XLT. I really like the heated and cooled seats and the 4A option.

Agreed. The cooled seats are a must here in the south.

 

Cooled seats are great.
