I never thought I’d want such a big truck or spend so much money on any truck! Has anybody had any recent experience buying a 2024 F350? I’m trying to make sure I get a good price. Does anyone have any ideas how to find the dealer invoice? right now I’m working o
n a 5% off MSRP, I have no idea if this is good or not I would love to hear your experiences. This is a huge undertaking for me and I want to make sure I do it right.

Living in Northern Nevada I bought a 2024 f250 lariat. It's my first Ford and I'm really happy with it but not so happy with what I paid. I've talked to a few new Ford owners and they bought their truck in Idaho and Utah for much less than I did here not to mention they got a F-250 tremor for the same price so you may want to look in those two states or others before you lay down your cash.
It's just a thought Good luck brother!

Smog laws differ in each state. California has the toughest laws in the Nation. We pay a lot to keep our trucks registered here. A truck that you buy in Idaho, for example, can not be registered in California. BE CAREFUL!

Wow. That’s a bummer. Thank you for the info. Fortunately, we’re in Montana.

Yeah Gavin Nuisance makes living in California a pain in the butt and it's very expensive, but It's a beautiful state, I know I'm from there. So I have a question for you... In what way does a truck from Nevada, Idaho or Utah differ from one you'd buy in California? I believe the EPA has plugged up every truck equally.

Doms350,
I just came across this thread, Did you buy a truck yet?

I just bought a F-350 Lariat.

I found out that the Best way to get a great deal on a truck, or any vehicle is to forego any notion of "I want it now" thoughts.
I Factory order most of my vehicles in the past 20yrs. (the two I didn't were 'Dealer Demos', cars)

First go to sights like 'True Car', 'Edmunds', KBB, find out the range of what they are selling at. Then go to the mfg. (i.e. Ford) and build your own!
If your willing to travel a bit, enter in different zip codes. This way one can pit dealers against each other.
Do a little email or phone haggling to get your deal. There is a lot of back and forth, so I start off with emails then hit the phone.

In the end, I got about 13% off MSRP + 18K for my 2011 350. Took about 4 mos. to deliver.

I hope everyone on here has a great and blessed week. Oh hell I didn't even see how old these posts are, but hey there is a truck superstore in Dallas Texas. id look there, its worth looking. also ived learned that if you want a good deal on trucks or parts, no matter what they are, shop other dealers online, bro even ask AI. Gemini has free upgrades right now, use that shit bro, they will find you the very best deal in the US. Other dealerships are going to have different deals, and that includes parts and accessories and trucks. Every store has a different price because they may be a small store or a small store any small community around them that they cannot afford anything but at a lower price. I would check maybe the poorest communities, they will have a dealership and more than not be cheaper. HOPE THIS HELPS BROTHER.....

HERE BRO, CHECK THIS OUT.....

Finding the absolute "best price" on a new F-350 Dually across the entire US is incredibly challenging due to several factors:


* Dealer-specific pricing and incentives: Dealerships set their own prices and offer various discounts, rebates, and financing deals that can change frequently. These deals often vary by region and even by individual dealer.


* Trim levels and configurations: The F-350 Dually comes in many trim levels (XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited), and each can have different cab styles (Regular Cab, SuperCab, Crew Cab), bed lengths, engine options (gas or diesel), and a vast array of optional features and packages. Each of these choices significantly impacts the price.


* Market conditions: Supply and demand, current inventory levels, and even gas prices can influence how dealers price their vehicles.


* Negotiation: The "best price" often comes down to individual negotiation with a dealership.


General Price Ranges for a New F-350 Dually (based on 2024/2025 models):


Based on current information, a new Ford F-350 Dually XL (the base model) will typically start in the range of $48,000 - $55,000 MSRP.


* 2025 Ford F-350 Super Duty XL 4dr Crew Cab LB DRW (Dual Rear Wheels) starts around $54,880 MSRP.


* Some sources list 2025 F-350 XL models (not specifically dually, but could be configured as such) starting at $48,590 - $52,490 MSRP.


Higher trim levels and additional features will quickly push the price up. For example:


* A 2025 Ford F-350 Lariat Dually could be in the $65,000 - $80,000+ range.


* Platinum and Limited trims can easily exceed $100,000.


How to find the best price for you:


* Determine your exact needs: What cab style, bed length, engine, and essential features do you require? This will narrow down your search.


* Check manufacturer websites: Visit Ford's official website (shop.ford.com) to build and price a truck with your desired specifications. This will give you the MSRP.


* Browse online marketplaces:


* Autotrader, CarGurus, TrueCar, Kelley Blue Book (KBB): These sites allow you to search for new F-350s by location, trim, and features, and they often show prices from various dealerships across the country. Look for newly listed vehicles and "great price" or "good price" ratings.


* Commercial Truck Trader: This site also lists new F-350 Dually models, often with specific commercial configurations.


* Contact multiple dealerships: Reach out to dealers in different regions, even those outside your immediate area, as pricing can vary. Ask for their "out-the-door" price, which includes all fees and taxes.


* Inquire about incentives: Ask about any current manufacturer rebates, dealer discounts, or special financing offers.


* Consider remaining 2024 models: If available, a new 2024 F-350 Dually might be discounted as dealers try to clear inventory for the incoming 2025 models.


Ultimately, the "best price" will be the lowest price you can negotiate for the specific F-350 Dually configuration that meets your needs, taking into account any available incentives.
