Sorry, was not meant to be a "pick me" kinda post. I don't want to derail your thread. I'll update my own build thread eventually once meaningful experience has been obtained.

2022 F350 Tremor & 2022 Four Wheel Campers Hawk For Sale

We have recently decided to sell our dream set up, F350 Tremor/Hawk combo. We spent years of thought and research figuring out exactly what set up we wanted, and selling this is an extremely tough decision prompted by a growing family, limited use, and changing priorities. This set up is in...

Thanks everybody for the feedback. We found a truck. Some compromises were made to optimize cost, wait time, delivery logistics and personal preferences.

@hdas Nice truck! Is it the one from the local dealership you’d been considering?

Oh it ain’t the end- it’s just beginning…😆

Correct.

Thinking a separate thread could be more useful for the forum, since this one is quite large already.

Nice. Hopefully the experience wasn’t too bad with a poorly rated dealer. Like I said earlier, not as big of a concern with a new vehicle.

Certainly an adversarial encounter. It’s sad that the most powerful consumer group in the history of the world is subjected to this medieval process.

I would classify this in the “rent seeking” category. Nobody benefits from the dealer model except the dealers themselves and the low human capital labor working for them.

Ok. So to close this thread for good, I’d like to share that I was able to come way ahead in the price paid by negotiating a low price and accepting some insurance type products and then cancelling those and getting a refund. Netting a -18% out the door price relative to MSRP.
