List: F-150 Lightning dealers that do / don't apply ADM (price markup)

[Deleted member 9341]

No action by the dealer........

Spoke to 800-334-4375 (option 2, Lightning, Lightning) the representative confirmed my current dealer needs to REJECT my offer to purchase. Then I need to call 800-334-4375 and seek a transfer to another dealer of my choosing.

The lightning hot line open until 8pm EST.

Next step is dealer f2f with the general manager, get the facts straight from the horse's mouth we either make a deal or REJECT.

I think I’d want the reject purely out of principle

Called some dealers today
Mullinax WA told me they most likely would have ADM on lightning, just wasnt sure yet.
The Ford Store San Leandro told me 2995 ADM

On my lightning order page, San Leandro added $7k to MSRP. I bought 2 vehicles from them in the past. An email to the salesperson and GM were not responded to. Changed dealer to Walnut Creek and the sales price showed as MSRP.

It took me a while longer to dig and find this information out....
You can have a vehicle drop shipped to another location if the receiving dealer gives you permission along with the dealer code and it's treated like a courtesy delivery once the vehicle has been converted (not in a 99 code) and ready to be built but not yet sent to Ford to be built. Ask the receiving dealer if they charge any added fees. Many times there's a 500 fee. You can decide if you want to do your paperwork with the original dealer or the dealer your vehicle gets shipped to. Keep in mind this can create some drama between the 2 dealers since 1 gets the credit for selling it and the other doesn't. The original dealer would set it to go to the other dealership.
Once a vehicle has been scheduled to be built the process changes and the original dealership has to do a diversion request and there's no 100% guarantee that it will ship to the new destination. Hope this helps.

My original dealer isn’t going to sign off on moving it and lose the ADM though. Sounds like that’s required if I read your post right.

I'm in the same position. My original dealer is not going to willingly allow my truck to be transferred.

Is it possible we could get this changed to a form like the order list, @Administrator? I feel bad still having my original dealer listed as having no ADM when they decided it should by $30k coming ordering time. I know there's also been some other folks who've also had the rug pulled out from under them.

I know that rug well, unfortunately, though mine was a $20k rug.

Looks like you got your situation figured out then? Hope you’ll share any info on the process for future people to not get scammed!

Who cares? If you still haven't placed the order, no one is going to ask them.

Sent a email to Fox News in OKC about it hope it helps

Fox News won't care, because it's an EV.

Pose it as an attack on the wealthy then ?

Texas: I placed my order Thursday and went to dealership as they accepted. Talked to GM. No BS. No Extras. Chaparral Ford. Devine, Texas. No ADM. No added down, $500 as required by Ford.

Ford has never required a $500 deposit. That's your dealer requiring that.

the 500 deposit is for when you order. pretty sure its everyone. however it was charged on my card to my dealership and not ford corporate

Like I said, that is your dealership charging the $500. The dealer I selected told me there is no requirement for a down payment when ordering.

I have a wave 1 Lightning Pro order.
