Traded in my Pro, got an XLT ER

[BennyTheBeaver]

The deals and discounts were just too good to pass up. I traded in my Pro for an XLT ER. I don't "need" the Extended Range but for the price difference between my Pro and the XLT ER it just made sense.

For all those wondering this is what I got:

$7,500 Ford Rebate
$7,500 Tax Credit
$6,000 Dealer Discount
I also took one of the lower APR current financing deals.

I got $40k trade in value for my Pro.

What dealer. I have a ‘we Pro as well and am considering the switch

do you mind sharing the difference in trade in vs cost?

It was about $12,000 difference. The XLT ER ended up costing me about $5k more than my original purchase price on the Pro (technically $12k more because the rebate is point of sale now).

Trade in was $40,000, I originally (Dec '22) paid roughly $47,000 for my Pro with all options. With the retail price of the Pro's being $10k higher than what I paid (price protection) I was hoping for a smidgen more, but I was satisfied with the whole deal.

Believe it or not. I miss the vinyl seats and the vinyl floor.

I will say the XLT seats sit lower than the Pro and changes the dynamic of the driving experience. I don't miss the manual seat adjustments, the drivers seat is way more comfy (and squeak free).

The biggest things I've noticed since I switched:

- I love the ACC (I bought the parts to install in my Pro but weather and time never cooperated).

- The heated leather steering wheel with physical button is very nice.

- The power tailgate is nice but not needed.

- Heated Seats get warmer than the Pro (that's not neccisarily a good thing).

- 20" rims are nice.

- Has fold flat work space.

- There is a closeable lid for the cubby above the glovebox.

I'm going to have to get another 2 day FDRS pass, this thing is WAY behind in updates. (No battery percentage on main cluster)

Say it ain't so! Benny the Pro enthusiast. I thought about it too but I want to be $0 vehicle payment by end of next year when I retire. $40K trade is a good number, i was expecting $35k ish.

I know I know. I still am a Pro enthusiast and would recommend it in a heartbeat! Just couldn't pass on the deal...

I feel betrayed
Just kidding, enjoy the new ride

You planning on trying to get rid of that ACC stuff? I may be interested.

How many miles did you have on your pro?
I’m considering the same same. My pro optioned out at about 55K before taxes. (MSRP)
I’d like to future proof with the extended range battery. And would love to have adaptive cruise, as well as seats that weren’t so high.

Just under 15k miles (I had price protection so my base price was $40k before options).

Lucky dog. Even though I was one of the first reservation holders, I couldn’t even order until August 2023.
Great deal, seems like a no-brainer

What happens with the tax credit from the pro ?

What happens with the tax credit from the pro ?

I got it in 2022 when I bought the Pro. There is no eligible tax credit on used vehicles over a certain $$$ threshold (the used Pro wouldn't qualify).
