My dealer said to me that he bought down the rate and the bank offered the extended warranty *4 years 48K miles. Do you think I need to cal him out on this and see if my payment would have been cheaper without that?

It's illegal for the bank to offer you a better rate if you buy something. I found this out after I called the lender directly. I dropped a few f bombs at the finance guy the next day.

Anybody that picked up a 2019 willing to post up some driving impressions? Curious about highway ride... this video and a couple others I've seen say on road ride is harsher with the new shocks. Opposite of what I expected. On the bright side mine finally went into production this week.

Then again that 2019 is still in the wrapper and could be running 50PSI from the factory like the 2018 I drove. I aired it down to 38 and it rode nice.

That dealer requires that you do the financing through them and that you buy the extended warranty that costs around $4,000.
I'm working with this very dealer actually, not this dude in the video though. my deal is MSRP, no finance, and to buy bed cover with them. They tried to sell their spray in bedliner but I insisted no. Same goes financing. Things may change, I will keep y'all posted when I close the transaction in Feb.

ive had mine for about a week now. i have the 802A with recaros and tech package. i honestly love the truck and think it rides very smooth and very comfortable on the highway. The seats are very comforable and supportive. im not really understanding of how anyone complains about it. Its so quiet and smooth. my tire pressure is also 41-42 range and ive been meaning to drop it to 38 but ive been lazy and its been cold out lol. I rented a ford escape leading up to getting this truck and it rides smoother then that, and also smoother than my 2014 ram 1500. My dad has a Denali that ive driven quite often, and although ive not driven them back to back, im not fully able to say which one drives better. ill have to do a back to back soon to get a true comparison.

also when ive driven it offroad its been like riding on pillows, absorbs everything so nicely compared to a regular pickup.

Anything about having to get the warranty? I actually messaged Jorge through facebook about one of his Raptor ads. He told me that I had to get the extended warranty. Hope it works out for you with the other sales person.

No he never mentioned warranty. Let's see how this goes.

Just got back from the west coast to have my truck waiting for me in the driveway. I'm glad I went with performance blue and enjoying the different hue it takes on in different lighting. Starting to learn my way through the truck and setting shit up. Grinning ear to ear and a bit overwhelmed. I'm coming from an '06 4runner and '06 911 so this is definitely a new type of beast for me. I'll try and post pics and thoughts up later in the week.

Here's my purchase info to contribute towards the spreadsheet. I put down an initial deposit back in May to secure the first priority from Ford of Murfreesboro. Seems as if they are a large dealership with several allocations per month from talking to peeps on the forums/groups. Jason Burke pretty much made this a simple process for me. Probably the easiest car purchase I've ever made. The only issue was due to the truck having been delayed in transit which was on the rail yard.

A = 8/15
B = Delivered
C = 9/27/18
D = 10/30/18
E = SCAB
F = No
G = 11/18/18
H = vhudoo
I = BL, 802a, Tech, Tailgate
