I know that this has been asked before, but things like in house APR offerings are always in flux.
What have recent buyers with excellent credit found at the dealers in regards to APR?
I don't want to dismiss them out of hand, but I have a feeling they'd be high.
FWIW my local credit union is doing 2.74% for 72 months or 3.24 for 84.
My truck is scheduled for production 2/14, and I applied for Ford Motor credit online and was approved, but I need to work with the dealer to find out what my rate is. I also applied at my bank and local credit union. The best rate was credit union for 2.74% for 75 months that I was also approved for. My credit score is 780+. Edit: I live in Washington state for clarification.

Reason: Added location
I'm also curious to know. I got 1.94% for 36 months locked in at local credit union. Truck is supposed to show up and day. I don't know if the dealership will match that, but what I'm really hoping is some kind of cash incentive for financing through them. $1,000 cash and 2.5% and I can still come out ahead by paying off early.
New Auto - as low as 1 Terms Rate* Up to 48 months 1.69% 49 - 72 months 1.99% 73 - 84 months 2.79%21 (CURRENT YEAR – 1) 100% + Tax, Title, License, GAP coverage and Warranty
2 Terms 76 months and greater apply to loan amounts > $50,000.
Those are great rates, I think I didn’t to to well
I got 3.79% for 60 months and with over 800 credit score.
Hopefully I can pay it off a lot sooner
The rates vary quite a bit by location. Your rate may be the best available in the state/area you reside. When these questions are asked it should be specific to the OP's location. You both look to be in the same state, so the rates you both are seeing don't vary wildly. Back when I purchased (2019) I was seeing posts from members in various states with interest rates far lower than any quotes I found here (Ca.). I called several credit unions and big banks, best I could find at the time was 3.49%/72 months. Lower on shorter terms. I also had a credit score over 800 and 50% down.
Over 800 here in Oregon and I'm looking at 2.99% for 84 months. I just wanted the lowest payment but will be doing double or triple payments, i like the flexibility of a low payment if i need to pay for something else in a given month.

Ford will sometimes offer low rates on short terms, like 1.99% for 36 months. I have not seen good rates from Ford on longer terms, like 72 months. I would expect Ford financing to be high on the longer terms loans. The dealership might be able to offer you a decent finance offer from another source, other than Ford Motor Credit.
Thanks for all of the perspectives!
Yea it's such a mental thing. I'm not anywhere close to be cornered into a "payment" limit, but instead trying to maximize leverage and find a happy medium between rates and deprecation and down and disposable liquidity.
I'd like to understand Fords rationale about offering (last I checked) very good rates on 150s vs 250s. WTH?

@NedFletcher - what company are you financing through?
