Price match Granger?
I've decided I'm buying a new truck. Granger is about 1800miles away from me and I'm still considering ordering from them. Has anyone successfully had a dealership price match Grangers 2% below invoice?
Thanks!

There are posts of people finding locals there were close enough in price that it was worth buying local when transportation to Granger was factored in.
Determine what your transportation/lodging costs and time to do it are worth and compare how your local figures stack up to Granger. Truck price savings aren't worth much if your costs to bring it home eat them up.

If your local dealer accepts X plan, the number starts to be a little close. I am also about 1800 miles from them, on a ~60k truck their price comes to about 1500 dollars cheaper than what my local dealer can work out with me.
Say I fly there, it would cost me, say, 400 dollars, give or take. Say the truck gets 15 mpg on the highway trip back, 1800 miles comes out to 120 gallons of gas, so that's about 400 dollars in gas alone, plus another maybe 100 factoring in tires, oil, wear and tear. Now we are up to 900 dollars. If you get a hotel and stay over night, that's another 100 dollars, so we are up to 1k. I cannot drive 1800 miles straight for 25 hours, that's if I sleep in the truck and don't spend money on meals.
So for me the difference would have been 500 dollars after traveling and driving back, less if I get my shuteye at a motel 6 or something and get 1 or two meals along the way.
YMMV.

i'm with the above members, as i'm on the east coast,in jersey about 1200 miles away i'd have to fly into des moines. from newark $360.00 via american plus another 75.00 to take a taxi to the AP, , if they don't pick you up take a taxi to them, maybe $50.00 drive back to the east coast 2 days of gas meals and lodging . wild guess another $500.00 which having been a long haul semi driver,know all too well that's not a fun drive in the winter .

Last month a local dealer quoted me a price that was about $1500 higher than Granger on a ‘26 Platinum F-350 DRW but still below invoice overall. I’m only 2.5 hours from Granger so the logistics of getting there and back wouldn't have been too much of a hassle but still a 6 hour day minimum to pick up a truck so a slight hassle. But what really made the decision to go with the local dealer was speed. My salesman said they had plenty of allocations available and he said I’d have the truck in December. Sure enough the very next day after I placed my order with the local dealer I had a build week and VIN from Ford. 30 days after placing my order my truck is in production this week. Granger had quoted me 4-8 months and I believe that based on the many people on this forum with Granger orders that still have nothing weeks passed the order confirmed stage.

I just placed a local order that was close enough to Granger's to make it more than worth ordering from them.

My local dealer price matched Granger exactly to the T, and it's 25 minutes away. I had my order email from Ford within 10 minutes.

Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to try to find something local either on the lot or somewhere I can order from. It doesn't make sense to drive 1800 miles to save a few bucks.

I am 935 road miles away from Granger, and they are $1822 lower than X-plan locally even after factoring in all of my air travel costs to get there and all of my return drive costs (total <$600). This is for a 2026 F-350 7.3L Lariat CCLB DRW 4.30.

Granger is a 1,500 mile drive for me and I have bought two trucks from them. This was during Covid (2021 and 2022) and our local dealers were doing MSRP or higher. Flew there and drove back both times. I saved $6K or more depending on how you look at it. Would I do it again,? Yes but I would first try to get the local dealer to do x-plan or price matching first.

I'm going to get a quote from Granger. In my case, I plan on making the trip turn into a road vacation while I'm in the area and my return. So, the one way air costs, etc. is not a big deal since I would be flying out anyway for the start of my vacation. Don't have to rent a car if we make a deal.
