Is There A Way to Search Nationwide Inventory on Ford.com?

Is there a way to do this or maybe a 3rd party website that makes it possible? I've tried the 3rd party big names like cars.com, autotrader etc. but their search funtions are kind of hit or miss.

 

nope. as you probably know you can do 100 miles on the website. dealers can do 300 miles.

 

Actually, you can do 500 miles. When you're in the search tool with results showing, go into the URL and change whatever your search radius is to 500. You can't do more than 500, but you can to 200, 300, etc.

 

Perfect! That makes this infinitely easier.

 

i tried it and it shows that its searching for 500 miles but the inventory amount doesnt change from 100. tired it with several different vehicle with the same result.

 

I think the easiest way to find raptor inventory, at least personally for me is to read up on threads and see what states they bought in. After that just google ford dealerships in the state and visit the site directly. I talked to dozens of dealerships this way just getting info and numbers and it worked out pretty well for me. The cheapest states to purchase seem to be Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Georgia off the top of my head. This is based on my own experience and reading through the posts of others.

 

The number of vehicles found is 100+ when I run it. The count shows the actual number until it gets to 100, then it's 100+. I haven't actually scrolled all the way down and counted to see if it displays more than 100 or not. Because I was only interested in 801a and minimally or no optioned 802a, I could use sort by price, low to high, to show me what I wanted in the first few pages of any search. If you know what color you want, that's easy to filter. Go to the left side of the page and select color and then choose the color(s) you're interested in.

 

When I was searching I had good luck with the combination of cars.com and autotrader.com. They both allow nationwide searches.

 

i did a poor job explaining that. i narrowed down the results to well under 100 vehicle at 100 miles than changed they hyper link to 500 miles. the search shows 500 miles when you hit enter but the results never change. i tried it with certain color raptors, various shelbys, with well under 100 vehicles, no change. its odd that it accepts the change at face value and flat out says that its searching for 500 miles but it doesnt seem to work.

 

That's weird. It works fine for me. I just went and tried it and it works. I'm using Firefox on Windows 10. You are changing the URL at the top of the page, right after it says "&Radius=", aren't you?
