I haven't gone to any dealers yet, but I'm about to. Camelback Ford has 7 GT and GTPE in stock right now, so I'm gonna go there to compare colors and models and the test drive. Surprise has a GTPE grabber blue in stock that is still at pre Jan 2023 price drop MSRP.
I'm really not looking forward to going through that car buying gauntlet. I swore after I bought my Ram 2500 4 years ago I would never do that again. It wasn't horrible, but why should it take 3 hours to buy something I already had an internet quote from my bank auto program for the exact VIN in stock that their sales rep said in writing they would honor. I even had my bank's "loan check" to the dealer for the exact financed amount.
Rodeo Ford is the chosen dealer for Costco Auto program. They also have the lowest sales tax in the valley. I may just order through them and wait the 6 months (assuming the Costco auto program is going to guarantee a straight forward purchase experience). It all depends on what kind of vibe the others give out.
