This makes me wish I could go back to 2019... bought a ram rebel that year, for 25% off sticker price... god I miss those days.
Before I bought my raptor, I tried to buy a 2014 6.2 FX4 and the dealer wouldn't sell it to me because I didn't have a trade in. And when I tried to trade my other truck in on it, they still wouldn't sell it to me because I wouldn't finance it through them. By the time I decided to let them finance it, and then re-finance it through my own bank, another guy had a deal on it. 71k miles and one owner, and the dude wrote down his maintenance in the back of the owners manual... who does that?! That was a unicorn truck...and I hope that dealer goes out of business for not selling it to me.
Welcome to Biden's America… catastrophe lurking around every corner. And just when you think it cant get any worse… BAM.

Damn, they only want to give me $54000 for my loaded Tremor with Icon suspension, methods, 295s, ceramic coated and tinted. No a scratch on it either.
I paid about $72 plus tax for it!
You would better off reverting back to stock or selling privately with those mods. Dealerships generally prefer stock vehicles.

Not so much around here, if it is tastefully done, which mine is. They sure don’t give a penny extra however.

Now I can see a truck being worth less with some cheap spacer lift, some 20” wheel offsets that stick out looking like roller skates, and some Mexican flag mud flaps.

Not to sound arrogant, but my Tremor is done in such a way that almost anyone would like, especially better than stock.

Your truck looks great how did you like the icon suspension?
The Coilovers are phenomenal for the money. The base rear shocks sucked as they were far too mushy, so I put on Fox shocks which firmed it up a bit to more match the damping of the front. Truck rides very plush, and handles big bumps great. I can also go fast down desert roads, howver slow and steady is where this truck shines. It also can crawl up stuff you’d never think, with ease

It looks "okay". Put the Tremor stickers back on the sides, boom, $3k more.

Sort of busting your chops but it looks like most F150's.

As stated, it is tastefully done. I didn’t want to over do it with the pep boys accessories. I like the clean look. Stickers and emblems are tacky. So are big fender flares, light bars, wheels that poke out too far, etc. I like the clean OEM look, just made it look more of how they should have come from the factory.

So this is something that as I said “anyone” would like as it isn’t distasteful
