Check the internet for dealers in your desired area and then search their inventories. I bought 2 that way. I didn't have a trade in on either so it was a quick and clean transaction. Be sure to have all the details ironed out and in writing before you travel to pick it up though. Happy hunting.

 

I found my left over 2017 by searching cars.com, Autotrader, and Car Gurus. You can search by distance, new/used, and options. I ended up ~550 miles away to get mine.

 

The other suggestions are good but if you are set on using ford.com then change your zip code.....

 

You can change the search radius up to at least 200 miles by replacing the "&Radius=100&" in the URL of the view inventory page on ford.com to something like "&Radius=200&"

 

 

CarGurus is what I used when I was looking for mine. You can put in a lot of different search filters based on what you are looking for. I found the truck I wanted and then had my dealer contact them and bring it in for me.

 

We would bring in dealer trades all the time, even had a crew of guys , there job was to drive and get dealer trades... If you love your dealer and want to buy from them, they can put all the specs u want and search anywhere and make the trade. tiny dealers may not have a wanted vehicle to trade back, some dealers will trade without getting a car back, as they get to holdback for doing very little work.
we wanted the Ford monthly bonus money and were trying to go from 200units per month to 300.... might be fun to do all the searching yourself, but way faster to let the dealer do it

 

I kept expanding my area on the ford site by selecting different zip codes in a 100 mile radius.

 

 

Did you work with dealerships in the lower mainland? If so did you like any particular dealer more than others?

 

For a past purchase I used an auto broker. I told him what I wanted and a few days later he called to say, "Come get your truck!" It was that easy. No finance department hassle either.

 

Did you just pay cash then? And do you know if there was a price difference using the broker, as in did you pay a little more for him to do all the dirty work ?

 

For that purchase I did pay cash, but it could have been a loan too. I think he could even have used the manufacturer financing. The cost was invoice + $300 I think. I knew the guy so I don't think it was a bad deal. I didn't use him on my 2017 F-350 because I ordered it and I'm reasonably certain that the auto broker couldn't have arranged a better deal.

 

1. Change the zip code as you move out from your home zip code beyond 100 miles.
2. Use auto trader - once you locate a potential truck - enter the zip code for that dealer with said truck
