In my continuing search to find a reasonable lease on a new full-size truck, I have been working with my Ford dealer on a pretty loaded up 2022 F-150 Lariat V8. It is both a leftover 2022 model year and a demo vehicle, which has never been titled, but does have 5200 miles.
The dealership is advertising it at 6.5% off MSRP, which I thought was fine before they told me it was a demo with 5200 miles. Now I am not so sure… looking for feedback on a reasonable discount for this vehicle.
My issue working Ram deals is many of the best incentives are purchase only. Just from a personal preference option Ram is not my favorite. It seems the Ford falls in-between the Chevrolet High Country and Nisan Titan Pro-4x, payment wise. But with the largest upfront discount and lowest MF (only 1.7% no onepay no MSDs), Ford probably has the best early exit potential.
Are we talking about ford or ram? I was recently considering getting a 1500 laramie and was looking at discounts in the 13-14% range and thousands in incentives.
It also was every bit as nice as my f150 platinum i had, less the massaging seats
Ford MF is 0.00071667
Ram MF is 0.00107
Chevy MF is 0.00147917
Nissan MF is 0.00291
In my research, many of the best pre-incentive discounts (20% off) on leftover 2022 RAM evaporated when I opted to lease. It’s possible you can work this through an IDL path, but I just don’t have a good CDJR dealer in NJ and prefer not to use Ally.
I love my 2022 Ram Big Horn (purchase, not a lease), especially the front bench seat, but would flip out of it if I can find a suitable Pro-4X deal. My other challenge is the Titan gets 25% worse fuel economy (22 vs 17) and in theory uses premium so fuel would be $125-150 more per month at 1500 miles/mth, so deal needs to be rock bottom.
