I'd think you'd be hard pressed to beat Koons of Baltimore's price on a special order. They were awesome for me.

Contact “ DEL” at KOONS Baltimore. No way you’ll beat their price for special order

His cell phone is +1 (443) 205-3086

I wrote up 5 deals, on 4 trucks, at 4 dealers. It takes literally a few emails and phone calls. I spent 4 hours on two deals at my local dealer. Ended up driving 350 miles to trade my 200@5 and pick up the 2017 in a winter snow storm December 2016.

i preferred to order from the Ford inventory on line, it tells them which truck is on its way to what dealer, on which lot. They can search easy, rule out options. Give them 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice on exterior colour and interior, give them 1st and second priority on options. They will find what you want, and negotiate price. You know your getting to a good deal when 2-3 of them stop negotiating. They will work to find you the truck you want at the negotiated deal you want.

i a, extremely happy with the truck I bought, the truck I own now for 2 years.

I feel your pain. I spent many many hours with a Rand McNally atlas, Googling zip codes, and searching 1/2 the USA on the Ford inventory website before I realized I needed to place a custom order with my local dealer and wait several months for delivery... During the process I called Ford and hoped they could plug in my build sheet to "instantly" search US inventory, but they basically said "no". My dealer was friendly enough, but I could tell he really didn't want to set up an out of state trade to find my vehicle. I did, however, use COSTCO pricing so I saved a bundle ($2500 below invoice) and got my exact build with no haggling...

Their Baltimore location gives the best deal. I had quotes from Falls Church, Sterling and Annapolis as well. Baltimore was the lowest by far. Email Tom Snyder (tom.snyder@koons.com). Great guy to deal with.
