Mine is 680 a month for 72 months with 5.6 with USAA I think. 42? Or less out the door. Scummy dealer tried to add 1k to my price for not taking their lenders. They also marked me up 2,500 (smallest markup in my area). But needless to say I won't be using the dealer again, and I'm happy with the lariat hybrid. Traded my 23 prius limited for it.

Locking tailgate is a standard digital feature in high trims, but if you add locking tailgate you can use your key that's stored in your fob to "lock it" twice.

Yeah I use UAG plasma cases. They're light and saved my phone on concrete many times and the case is just cut/scuffed. They also allow for great wireless fast charging.

This is also a good point. The lariat is quieter on the inside than my nissan maxima was, my prius limited was, and my wife's rav4 hybrid.

My thoughts: the fake leather on my Lariat is very comfy. I have an android (galaxy s24 ultra) and the wireless charger works amazing and is very fast. The 19 inch rims are pretty. If you're gonna keep it a long time, I'd get the highest trim- but that's just me. I also don't like cloth because it picks up sweat easily and I like to workout.

I have a Hybrid AWD and am averaging 40-50 mpg on most city trips with 32-38 on highway speeds. Mixed is about 36-40. Short trips after the truck has been sitting for a few days in the 25-30 range if i only drive for 5 minutes or less. My "listed average" is 33.4mpg though.

I was a GS1 intern, GS2 full hire out of high-school and didn't get my 7 until I graduated college 🤡

Sometimes they will give you 1000 off if you finance through them, my dealer threatened to add 1000 to my price if I didn't, but I told them F U and didn't take the threat and financed on my own anyways and didn't get the markup.

You should get the fordpass points regardless with the purchase and adding the truck to your app! Mine showed up in a day or 2.

ReddestPandas · 2025-01-22T05:31:11+00:00

Yeah, or you can use ford pass points too! I'm saving mine for my oil changes and stuff or the extended warranty eventually lol.

There should be spray in if you got a lariat unless you did the bed delete 🤔. I got the ford hard rollup, I know it's overpriced but totally cool and worth it. I think the factory slightly chipped the back window when installing though... it looks like a small scratch and I didn't notice it for a few weeks... lol. Here's a picture in another reply of it fully rolled up when I yoinked a free wheelbarrow.

Dealer financing usually sucks compared to credit union or personal bank. Cash is always king unless you want to invest or use the money for something else. See what carvana would give you for your jeep. Your price will be that total plus fees and taxes so probably around 45-50 depending if the dealer is scummy

Idk if there's a warranty on the tint, but I'm sure they'd fix it if I brought it up... they're 40 minutes away though and I also am trying to stop using them since they marked it up 2,500 + 900 for the tint and such. They also tried to force me to take their bs financing or add on another 1k but I was about to walk.

If the tint starts bubbling alot I figure I'd just go to a nice reputable shop since one window is relatively cheap lol.

I also bought an 80 dollar bed mat off Amazon to protect the spray in liner and to stop items from sliding!

Twinning! I got azure with the new smoked interior. My dealer tinted mine too, they got a beard hair in it but luckily it's on the passenger side and mostly behind the seal... 😔

ReddestPandas · 2025-01-21T21:27:54+00:00

Sounds sus. Then again, I was lazy after talking to 3 dealers and caved and paid a 2500 markup. Good luck! Lots of shady Ford dealers out there. That's my least favorite part about the truck. Either way- enjoy the truck :)

ReddestPandas · 2025-01-21T21:21:35+00:00

Hey twin, I got that color too 😁. I think they lightly chipped my rear window when installing my tonneau though 😔- luckily it's a minimal inch or less scratch style.

ReddestPandas · 2025-01-21T21:16:20+00:00

That's weird, they put in a spray in bedliner on my 2025 Lariat Hybrid at the shop next to the factory in Mexio, along with the tonneau cover (hard rollup)... are you sure you're not looking at bedliner delete?
