I would call Ford directly. I think someone else on the forum did that and had success. I don't think it is up to the dealer on whether they give you the price protection. It is on Ford's website that you get it. Your dealer could be in hot water with Ford if they hose you.

I have for 2 hrs and they just say they don’t see it. Filed complaints in multiple departments

I've seen it mentioned a few times, what price protection are people trying to get? I am assuming it is only for people who deferred to this wave.

If you’re having trouble with fordpass activating. Disconnect the 12 volt battery and let the computer reset.
worked for me.

Yea it’s in the FAQs on the lightning page. They have to give it to you. Whether or not they add on and adjusted market value is another story, but they have to give you the price protection.

Have your dealer watch these! They can charge above MRSP if they want….but price it was when you placed order is protected.

Thanks to you I was able to show my dealer this and they were able to find it. He had no idea about it so super thankful you were able to give this pic to show him what it’s called. Thank you!

“Price protection” is when the vehicle MSRP increases after ordering. I believe the dealer invoice comes to them as what the window sticker says, but the person who ordered is “price protected” to the price they ordered at. If anybody, but the person who ordered takes delivery, the price is the window sticker.

Exactly this! An ADM can be done if you didn’t have them promise you they wouldn’t. BUT the price has to be what you ordered at. Literally says it in the FAQs page.

The answer to this is that the 7000 is more than the 5000 and so it’s lower total than the day it was ordered

Do you have the form that says the 7000 and 5000 offers I wanna know if the 7000 is the same number as mine

Private cash offer transitioning from 2022 to 2023 because you could not order and price increased between model years is a completely different program than price protection from when your order was placed till when you take delivery. They are completely separate. The price protection covers the increase in price that took place after the model year price increase.
The private cash offer is a certificate just for you under your name, price protection covers EVERYBODY that has price increase from when they can actually place the order until it is delivered.

Doesn't sound like his dealer is saying/admitting that they are applying ADM, they are just playing dumb on the Ford price protection (possibly in the hope that he will abandon his order so that they can sell it with ADM without getting in trouble with Ford).

Even if they wanted to apply ADM, I believe they were supposed to enter their ADM in the Ford system so you would see it before you ordered and gave them the additional deposit. (https://www.f150lightningforum.com/...p-with-dealer-and-reservation-resolved.13168/) So, they may have both a Ford and a consumer protection laws problem if they try to add ADM now.

The eagle has landed!! Took a little bit at the dealer because of trying to figure out the mobile charger (didn’t get it, but dealer is going to talk to the rep), the $2k NJ credit (didn’t get it since @Ford Motor Company did not submit the lightning to be eligibile. Please submit it so I can get my credit @Ford Motor Company !!!), finding the
seller report, etc

$48,769 MSRP after protection including Dest&Deliv
+$12.80 (online registration fee)
+$473 doc fee ($371 clerical + $102 doc deliv fee)
+$32.18 sales tax
+$7.50 NJ tire fee
+$482.50 title/reg
-$7000 private offer
TOTAL: $42,776.98

I ordered a pro with no options so I wouldn’t risk missing the NJ credit. In the end I didn’t get it so now wishing I ordered the 360 camera package :/. Oh well loving the truck anyway!

That is not how it works, and your dealer knows this. Ford is providing two credits, and you are supposed to get the value of both credited against the MSRP showing on the sticker.
