Ok got update. I found exactly what im looking for wasted 1/5hrs at dealer.
Good news have vin#of truck i want i assume i can find where its at; and just try all dealers in area for best price? Anyway to locate it based on vin?
Bad news pricing! Was not as expected. My "edmunds" invoice was off by a 100$ fuel charge and 840$ add fee (do not remember acronym). Both these where on invoice but that puts it 940$ higher than edmunds! In addition dealer would not budge from 500$ over. Which took my invoice price plus 940+500= 1440 over what i was execting. Ive bought 5 cars all new fords and all at or below invoice then -rebates.
Is this because dealer transfer is involved? I cant believe ford added 940 onto the end of the invoice seems fishy

Ok finally found a cooperative dealer! He is willing to sell at 300$ under edmunds invoice less rebates. Im sure i could get better but have pissed off all the other dealers and i think that prce is good enough (about 1200-1500 less than the other dealers)'.
Anyway my options are REALLY limited. Reg cab xl 4x4 standard. The 6.8 is impossible to find and i wont pay an extra 1500$ for a autoshift.
So i have a few with options i wasnt origionally looking at and need some info on them
Seat options vinal bench and cloth buckets. Both about 500$ whats the difference vs the base bench? Not really a big deal...
Power group-- 850 alot of money, does it include cruise control. Is cruise an option with the std trans?
Electric locker. Is it reliable? Can i still leave hubs off and use the gearing for heavy low speed work?
And trailer brake controller 230? Just an extra wiring harness or does it includw a different hitch?
All the options on this truck add up to 2400 over the one truck actually in stock loccaly (which is actually exatcly what i want) but the optioned trucks price is STILL 400$ less than the local dealer will let his go for!

Are you getting a 250 or 350 ?
Didn't realize you could get them that cheap!
I have an 06 f350 super with a 5.4L
I pull a 18' trailer with a mower in it up a hill no prob, when I put 3,000 pounds of pea stone in it and drive up a hill I definitely wish I had a bigger engine!!
