I ordered my 2019 out of state for MSRP and had it delivered to Elk Grove Ford in the Sacramento area. Elk Grove Ford told me that the last few 2019 they have sold were all at MSRP. Not sure if that is true or not, but multiple people told me that at different times. So it might be worth a check if you are still in the market. True be told they didn't seem to be the greatest dealership though. Nice enough however to release my truck before they received their money from the other dealership, so got to give them that.

There are so many of these trucks on the road that they do not even seem special anymore. I'm very surprised dealers are still getting market adjustments.

I bought mine at MSRP in central CA and drove it down to LA. Searched high and wide at SoCal dealers for something at MSRP and got laughed out of the room. I had to negotiate with the dealership up north for 3 days to get it down to that point. They wanted $20K over. I did my homework and checked at a couple dealers in NV and AZ and they were offering the same build at MSRP and leveraged those offers to get them to match it, threatening to take my money elsewhere. Many dealers didn't really care. F'ing ridiculous. Good to see that at least some are getting traction down here at MSRP!

Phyguyu, I agree with you for the Denver area is saturated with Raptors. Bought a Shelby GT 350 from Alabama $4,000 under MSRP last year...this dealership is selling ‘19 Raptors $3000 under MSRP. They also do not charge any prep or doc fees, and you only pay the taxes owed in your home State.

I think a lot of it also has to do with timing and who you get in touch with at a dealership. When I was shopping around salespeople would say if "we had a serious buyer". I think what that really means is if we have a desperate buyer that is willing to pay above MSRP.
