We have the X plan at work; the higher the truck's price, the more discount you get. And we can only buy one auto a year. I Work For Estes Freight Line, and we also had it at Old Dominion Freight Line. And Ford made us get it financed by Ford Motor credit. Sometimes, I got a rebate with the XPlan when I got a new F350. You have a nice truck.

[@americandream_89]

Thanks for the info. I should have mentioned that in the video, but I forgot as in that you can still use rebates with the plans as a lot of dealers. Try to tell you can’t. Thanks for reminding me and others.

[@GadgetB1]

Great video, love your build. I just traded my 21 F150 for a 24 F350 Platinum and I love the increased payload and diesel power! I agree there are a few options like the spray in liner that you couldn’t get aftermarket for anywhere near that price. I will say though my experience with the factory spray in liner is that it’s easy to peal at the edges since they just spray in on over the painted surface so it doesn’t stick as good as say line-x. I still went with the factory liner though, it holds up pretty good, just watch those edges sliding things across them.

[@americandream_89]

Thanks I agree I tested a f-150 powerboost last year for a week and loved the truck but it’s hard to get away from having it all. As in power and towing. My 2020 f-250 has the ford spray liner also we put sawmill blades and wood in it all the time it’s held up really well. Thanks for the input congrats on the truck they are nice.

[@jlr3482]

I wish this video would have existed before I ordered mine. I got basically the same truck in Lariat Ultimate, and I thought it was funny that package didn’t trump the Tremor package. Should’ve known Ford would give the cheaper option on the steps. Had I realized I could add for $0, I would have in a heartbeat. You are also correct on the MCA giving X-plan pricing. You must have MCA approved membership for 90 days, then you can generate the PIN for X-plan. They may give you a little guff about it at the dealership, but be sure and negotiate numbers first, THEN bring up X-plan. Don’t show your hand!

[@americandream_89]

Very true and great advice for others buying. These dealers will get you if they can

[@wkcampbell1]

Why would you negotiate then tell dealer you are an x plan buyer? X plan is listed on invoice. No need to negotiate, either the dealer is going to give you x plan or not. Seems like you would be wasting the dealers time and yours. You can negotiate a trade-in of course but when you pay x plan your getting not much, if any, more than wholesale trade in.

[@jlr3482]

It's just crazy how much they've inflated the prices- I bought this truck 2 years ago and it was low 80's. Also, yeah, approaching or exceeding $100k for a pickup truck, to me, is just absurd- the build quality isn't there, panel gaps are horrendous, etc. It's a $45-50k pickup truck in a walmart tuxedo for 6 figures. I get annoyed thinking about what I paid for it sometimes- this isn't an exotic vehicle.

[@rameylewis7730]

In my part of the country the steps get stuck in the up position with ice and snow buildup. Also having the steps in the lower position or fixed when driving on gravel roads or off road the steps help protect the body and paint job. Also I just learned the 23-24 Ford SD trucks changed the front axles from the Dana 60 used in the 2017-2022 models to the M235 which is a weaker Dana50 type axle. Not sure why Ford would downgrade the front axle like that. I like your truck and I hope you enjoy it!

Nice Truck! I have bought a lot of new Trucks and I always say to the Dealer no trade to to start with, then after I get the prices down I say well if I was to trade what would you give me for my trade. Seems to work out better for you on the value you get, that's why I always do it. You can also get dealers to come down lower than those plans just by negotiating with them. Every Dealer is different on what they are willing to do. I always work directly with the new car sales managers - I hate dealing with salesman. I don't want to play games, I just want to cut out the BS. I have never even paid as much as invoice with no plans. Usually I am thousands under invoice which is less than MSRP. My last new one I paid more than I usually do because I needed to hurry and buy one because someone hit my truck and totalled it. But this new one I still bought it for $1500 under invoice. My wifes SUV I bought for $2,750 under invoice. Another thing that can help people buy at a better price is always buy the last day of every month or the last day of the year - That can help a lot.

[@americandream_89]

X Plan used to save a lot more money. But a decade or so ago when Ford made a big deal about lowering the MSRP for buyers, they at the same time raised the dealer cost on the vehicle. Since X Plan was tied to dealer cost (at that time it was $200 over dealer cost) it became less of a deal for the buyer.

Love to know what insurance runs and yearly tabs. This is a depreciating asset. It will go from 100K to 40K by 2030. The cost of trucks will be the demise of the RV industry.

[@americandream_89]

My insurance is around 1400 a year for this truck. I have never kept a truck over 4 years and it usually cost me around 4500-5000 a year between buying new and selling old.

@@stevecurry597 I’m pretty sure that’s gonna put you at the back of the line to receive your 2025. Unless ford moves your order because order banks stopped being filled. You’re basically telling your dealer to start your order process over. Hopefully I’m wrong but I’d check

That short bed is a deal breaker. I hate short beds especially for pulling. Your ride quality will be severely diminished. When you have to make turns with a fifth wheel it's going to get tricky. Most people don't know anything about trucks. I just happened to drive semis for a living. And a 355 rear end unless I'm staying in the Midwest that's a great set of gears but if not those are junk. I wouldn't give a crap about no tremor package. I'm not off-roading a millstone. Too damn heavy of a truck. You go off road and you're going to sink like a stone. I would never put off-road tires on that truck. Get a halfton if you want to do off-roading. I put some highway tires with some probably some 12 plies. Nice heavy duty highway tires. You going to get great wear out of those because mainly you're going to be on the street anyways. I would set it up with four-wheel drive just because I have a boat.

[@bret9741]

Fords leadership is cutting quality and costs on several areas. They have mostly removed the real veneer wood trims… they use thinner vinyl floor covering because it’s about 1/2 the cost to go from the previous line of vinyl. Also ford has reduced the available options and expect 2025 Super Duty’s to see a significant reduction in options and the end of the limited line. The platinum will now only have a black with blue trim or the Platinum Plus truffle interior. I love the interior on your platinum with the Carmelo color inserts. I’ve never liked mixing black and navy in interiors. The wheel well liners are also a cost cutting effort. The previous “bed rug” style vinyl wheel well inserts are easier to clean and reduce noise significantly. The new liners hold on to clay and mud and to look clean must me wiped down. But after a few years they’ll be neat to hell showing tens of thousand of little dings. Fords President is a WOKE Harvard elitist who is paid 800x what the average ford worker makes. All these savings pays his $25,000,000 million pay plus another $30,000,000 in private jet, limo chauffeur etc. Until Ford replaces this guy… we’ll see a forced movement toward EV’s and much much more expensive super duty’s and large SUV’s.

[@americandream_89]

@@bret9741 I can’t say I disagree with you. Every year the trucks do get nicer in my opinion at a cost to the consumer. I personally like that they removed the limited package. This will give you the option to get a platinum plus tremor. But I fully understand your point of view and side with it somewhat.

The metal tubular steps that come with the tremor are because the tremor is supposed to be for off-roading. Those steps act as a bit of protection from high siding in the center. Of course nobody actually takes tremors off road so the posers don’t realize this

As long as people keep buying them they will go up. Prices would drop if sales dropped. Demand for the super duty is strong. They are currently building another factory

Nothing you mentioned is “free”. Platinum comes with those deployable running boards.

You only get those power running boards on the regular platinum. A tremor always comes with metal mounted non deploy steps. They used to up charge to get the trimmer with the power deploying step.

Why buy a $100,000 truck and get vinyl floor? If you're going to trash the inside so much you dont want carpet, get an XLT.

[@thebriangroves]

X-Plan is nothing, you save in the DOC fee, set 75 bucks or at least it used to be that. A and D plan is the BIG discounts.

[@americandream_89]

5-6 thousand is nothing?

[@thebriangroves]

@americandream_89 x is a couple hundred over invoice. I sold 100s of X-Plan deals over the years, often times the customer would tell me they were X-Plan and I'd tell them I could get them a better deal if they'd not use it but some really thought they were getting something. The only way I'd see you saving 5k is if a dealer wouldn't move off sticker and you would save that way because X is a couple hundred over invoice. Dealers are back to discounts though so right now if you went to a dealer and negotiated as a regular old Joe you could in fact buy a vehicle cheaper than X plan. Again, it is a flat doc fee which would save a couple hundred in today's goofy doc fee garbage. A and D are the real winners. A being Ford Employee and D being Dealer employee. X is just a partner deal like Hertz employee or some other big company. Invoice is invoice it has A-D and X clearly printed and that's the price no matter what.
