That's what bargaining is for. Who pays sticker for a vehicle?

Right now there is no barganing for them. That 6k is dealer markup and they do it cuz there is a demand and they can get pll to pay it. It happens with any new special vehicle when it first comes out. The challenger when it first came out was sold at 10k over sticker

True, and when the GT 500's first hit they were selling for 30K over sticker. Right now my local dealer has a blue 09 gt 500 kr that has been sitting in the showroom for 6 months and they can't give it away, sticker is 82-83K IIRC.

Nice truck but just about everybody that buys that truck are not looking to go enter the Baja 1000 and use that truck.. Purpose built F-150 with mild off-road use sure, but off the showroom floor you run it like that it won't last long..

You pay to play, but with everything thats gone into that truck, I'm sure it would hold up quite a lot better then any other 'stock' vehicle.

Considering most trucks in the Baja 1000 dont even finish, I would say for a, at the time, prototype truck to place 3rd, is pretty badass, and proved they've put some time into the truck. And the truck on the Baja course is how it will be on the showroom floor.

It'll be worth $40+ when they drop this bad boy into production trucks 425 hp, 425 lb-ft ain't bad.

If this option was available back in '04, it would be under the hood of my XLT no question.

Long wait, I've got dealer papers saying the 6.2 won't be on the lots until WINTER 2010! I thought it was suppose to be sooner then that.

I was set on buying one of these when the 6.2L came but I gotta see it in person to decide. I have been thinking about the updated Super Duty Series and hopefully I can get an FX4 F-250 with the 6.2L in it but might go for the diesel.

I've learned the hard way not to buy the first of ANYTHING new. Bought the 4.2L when it came out, bad gaskets... new 5.4L came out...blown plugs...05 Mustang...bad suspension (from what i heard?).

IMO, i'd wait 1-2 years after the 6.2L came out so they can debug it and let the cost settle down
