    Roll-X - Cold Weather Issues

    Good suggestions. I'll let you know how it continues to perform and how to holds up during the Snoball. I am still curious whether it is a common problem, especially being new.

    Roll-X - Cold Weather Issues

    I got my Roll-X, BakBox 2 and BedRug from Morrie over at BakFactoryOutlet and true to reviews, he has great prices and customer service. I installed them last week before heading up to Wausau, WI to ski. Yesterday, I noticed when I tried to lock my Roll-X down that it wouldn't 'click'...

Don't know if it has a 'non-flash' mode or comes in amber though, or if they'd hold out for the weekend. http://www.etrailer.com/p-HF18A-MB.html Battery Operated / Decent Magnet / Amber / Constant-On Mode / Adjustable...

    SnoBall Preparations?

    Anyone considered using or used the cheap magnetic battery operated led hazard lights for rear facing ambers? Would they survive the weekend for those of us who don't have time and/or a desire to wire up a permanent solution?

    12/2 build week window stickers

    Based on the last few weeks of data, the 'Law of Window Stickers' is as follows: - Your window sticker will appear exactly 7 days before your build day if someone told you that it would be any number of days other than 7 - Your window sticker will appear any day but 7 days before your build...

    12/2 build week window stickers

    http://fordlabels.webview.biz/webviewhybrid/WindowSticker.aspx?vin=1FM5K8GT5EGB31899 Your window sticker is available ( assuming I grabbed the right VIN from the order status thread ). It's seven days prior to build which is today.

    12/2 build week window stickers

    I'm on the outskirts of St. Louis and it took 11 days from build to when I drove it home. It seems to depend on a number of factors but January seems like a stretch, maybe the dealer didn't want to over promise.

    Picked Her Up and Had Some Fun

    In hindsight, I wondered the same thing. Too late now...

    Picked Her Up and Had Some Fun

    I picked mine up on Wednesday and did the same thing: To say cleaning it was a PITA is an understatement. I've washed it three times and it's still filthy. Oh well...Looks amazing either way. Congrats on your truck!

    I 'cheated'. They already had one on order for general stock that matched the options I wanted so I had my VIN when I walked out of the dealership. Hope your wait isn't too much longer.

    12/2 build week window stickers

    Are you sure that's your build day, not your build week?

    12/2 build week window stickers

    It's not once a week, its exactly 7 days before being built. My truck was built the week of 11/11 and since my build day was 11/16, it took until 11/9 for the window sticker to pull up. I got worried when it didn't appear on 11/4, so I checked window stickers for other VINs that had the same...

    Just ordered my 2014

    http://blog.truecar.com/2011/08/26/regional-advertising-new-cars-what-you-should-expect-to-pay/ Interesting post about the advertising line item on dealer invoice. It seems like a hotly debated topic here and this is what I've observed ( and what I paid for mine ): Destination & Delivery...

    Is this a good deal?

    From what I've gathered on Fuel & Advertising fees, other manufacturers include them in the base invoice price so you don't see them. Ford adds them after the base invoice, but everyone pays them. If anyone has successfully negotiated these out, let us know how. Again, Raptor911 is right. The...

    Invoice Pricing on 2014

    New 2014 Ford F-150 Prices - NADAguides Invoice matches the print out from my dealer. The invoice listed is before the price increase that Raptor911 was referencing ( I believe ). Don't forget to add ~$950 for Fuel & Advertising. They are tacked onto everyone's invoice.

    New from Missouri

    I'm not sure if it mattered in negotiating but I was going to order from Louisburg Ford so I had a quote from them for ~$600 over invoice ( with all fees included ) when I stopped in as a last ditch effort to buy locally. I told them I didn't want to waste their time if they couldn't match it...

    Marshall Ford in O'Fallon, MO. I worked with John Belding and he was more than helpful. Louisburg Ford outside KC is known for their deals near invoice but I'm sure there's a waiting line given their popularity here in the forums. I'm not sure where scubasteve went for his but maybe he'll...

    2014 order status thread

    Blood, The dealer told me it was scheduled for the week of 11/11, but no window sticker yet. Can you check on a build day? Same as everyone else, I appreciate the favor. 1FTFW1R65EFA14020

    Ordering with a vehicle to trade

    In terms of Sales Tax Allowance, even though they generally consider it a 'Trade-In Allowance' take a look at how Missouri handles it: On the 'Buying a Vehicle' guide it says tax is calculated as follows: But if you go digging through the FAQ: There are states that don't charge sales...
