I got nothing except for junk mail asking me if I want to purchase and extended warrantee, how swell I thought the sales guy was (he delivered the truck to my door with a full tank of gas from some 250 miles away in the next state over), and how swell my local dealer's service was (they screwed up scheduling and I got to drop off my truck twice).

I get something from Ford every month. It's a bill!

Planet Ford did a great job on the original sale.
My salesperson was Bjorn Johansen in the fleet department.
This guy sells complete fleets of trucks taking checks for hundreds
of thousands of dollars for on sale. He treated me like I was the ONLY
sale that he was going to have all year. Not only was his service great
but, he called me one Saturday morning and hand delivered my license
plates then wanted to put them on for me.

My great gift from Ford!, A great sales experience at Planet Ford in Spring, Texas

Their lifetime warranty is only on hand tools... power tools not included.

With my 04 F150 received a bottle of touch-up paint with a thank-you card and a "subscription" to My Ford.

Ford itself never gave me anything, but the dealership where I bought a used F150 once upon a time had those huge stuffed animals up on the rafters that they would give to the occassional cute kid.

After six trips to the dealership in the process of buying the truck, my daughter scammed six LARGE stuffed animals and proudly displays them as evidence of her superior bargaining abilities. After all, Dad just got a pick up out of the deal...

With my 02 Ranger I got inner mud guards that some guys are complaining about not having.

I had to ask for a bottle of touch up paint.

And the spare tire lock was free too, but I ended cutting it off with bolt cutters a few weeks ago because of a split sidewall. Darn Goodyears.

What else... I had the ash tray delete, but I got an ash tray anyway. And the Edge bed rail caps free too.

No key fob, no full tank of gas, heck, when they washed it, they missed a few spots. And the car washer left the radio on some gay radio station.

Free Items

My dealer made sure the truck was washed and cleaned, inside and out. As they don't have a gas pump on site, they made sure I stopped at the gas station they dealt with and filled it up on their account. They normally have someone from the dealership do that, but they got backlogged.......

I bought a used F150 from a GM dealer once. Got two full tanks of gas when they delivered it, plus a coupon for $50 more in gas or whatever else I wanted at the gas station they dealt with, two free oil changes, lifetime tire rotation, a leather keyfob (that said "Built Ford Tough", which I thought was kind of odd for a GM dealer, but it was'nt old... it was in a gift box), and two caps with their dealer logo on it. One was a black "Chevy Racing" one, and the other one was a neon hot pink one with their name and address on it.

Both of them together brought a cool $5 at the volunteer firemen's annual auction, by the way. Which is good, since they were in "never worn" condition.
