2005's at Fordvehicles?

Does anyone know when Fordvehicles.com updates their "build-your-own" website to the 2005 models?


Since you can't order an 04 anymore, it would seem to be time to update their
site.




Thanks.

There are too many 04's on the lot, so they are holding off for as long as possible I would imagine.

Jeff, In the process of selling my current PU so I can purchase an 05 F250. Have been to the Ford website and dealerships looking for the 05 color scheme on a King Ranch. Do you know if the Estate Green/Arizona color will be available llike they had on the 04s? Thx-K

No- the colors on the KR Super-Duty are Oxford White, Dark Copper, and Dark Green Satin. We have all 3 colors on the ground right now on KRs, and the green is by far the sharpest; much richer than the Estate green they used last year. If I were ordering one, I'd definitely go with the dark green, but that's just MHO.

Don't worry Jeff, once I do some decision making, I'll be sending you an RFQ.


One of the reasons I'm looking for the 05 update on Ford's website is to nail down what I want. It appears that Edmunds has the 05 list online.

Thanks!

All 3 have the lower tu-tone in beige, the white one is a 5.4 gasser, the other 2 are diesels with a moonroof (no moonroof on the white one).

RE: 2005 Price Quote. I've gone to http://www.yahoo.com , selected their AUTO forum and gotten both MSRP and INVOICE pricing on a configured vehicle. With that information in hand, I put it into an excel spreadsheet and gotten my local dealer to agree to sell me a NEW 2005 F350 Lariet Dually for Invoice +$200. Is that a good deal? Seems like it. Ron

Ron,

Welcom to FTE, great family around here. Lots of good info.

If you read the sticky note at the top of this forum, it will explain the FTE purchase program through Jeff Clark at Van Bortel Ford in Victor, NY (just South of Rochester). Through Jeff and FTE you can buy for $500 under invoice. You do have to pick it up from Jeff in NY.
Hope this helps.

Rats! I am on Washington state and wouldn't find the savings worth the plane trip hassle of going all the way to NY. Is there a similar dealer in the left / west coast?

From what I gather a sn is supposed to be a message at the top of the forum? But, I don't see anything that even resembles a 'sticky note'. Anyone got any ideas what it looks like or how I can identify it. Thanks
