My truck landed this week .. out of state. So we get on the phone to hash it all out.. they tried to get me to pay the increase; I questioned it; sent the pdf doc we’ve all seen around the forum, etc.
They came back with: they get it back in the form of a refund from ford. So I have to pay it now and if/when they get refunded by Ford they will pass that payment on to me. They will be noting it on a “we owe” form where the salesman writes up anything they promise to give you in the transaction. Like free swag or accessories, etc.
So I’m going to pay the increased msrp and see where this goes. Not holding my breath for the $4800 plus tax to get refunded but I hope it’s all on the up and up.
I tell you what; I’m already pot committed and ~5k is not gonna keep me out of this truck.

I’ve not been following this as I’m not in the Jen Tres market but, you have to pay tax on that money, so... when they refund the amount, is the stealership also refunding the sales and use tax collected for the reduction (as they should)?

According to the dealer video from Long McArthur in Kansas...the dealer will be refunded those price increases that are reflected on the window sticker! If they are telling you otherwise, ie. that you must pay the increase, they are trying to screw you...or they are ignorant and need to learn how to use the dealer software. Perhaps sit down and watch the video with the GM and ask them what they don't understand?

@bfr ... I watched it and it at least gives me confidence that the dealer will be refunded. I'm going to bring this up and try to get them to give me price protection on the frontside rather than "hope" for repayment after the fact.
The difficulty is that I'm buying from out of state and will finalize these details this week; And have plans to fly out at the end of the month! It's not like the old days where you could take a day off of work and be a pain in their ass and spend all day and night in the dealership office and insist they figure it out.
Plus there's the caveat that they don't care if I back out of the deal. The Raptor will sell instantly if I quit now.
