Man this stuff goes around in cycles, first every thing was $100 over invoice, then it was invoice pricing, its internet pricing. Any number they spring to right off the bat isn't their bottom dollar. You want the best deal find multiple dealers and haggle with each a little then pit them against each other. That's the only way you will know you did your best.
You want it easier than that you better know someone.
Thats what my brother does and gets an amazing deal every time. Im the end each dealer is calling begging.

Get quotes from volume dealers. Planet Ford or Mac Haik in Houston, Covert Ford in Austin. All move a ton of trucks at low pricing and it's usually posted online. Buy or compare to those guys. I'm sure there are a few in DFW as well. Covert had GMC Yukon at 10k off MSRP a while back, no one would even get close.

Ask if there's a discount for bringing in cans they can recycle into body parts.

Go to said dealer, go find the truck you want. Write the stock # on said truck on your business card. Write down on the business card the bottom dollar you are willing to pay and hand it to a sales rep. Tell them if they can meet the number call me. If they can not do not call me. Give them 12 hours. I am headed to the next dealership.

3 year 36k. What a joke! Pretty sure every other brand out there has better warranty than that. Screw a ford.

There should be some really good deals on the 2017's out there. I thought the same ting.. man they ain't budging on one of them you shopping for a 150 or 250? i would agree with the earlier poster though, for you especially, get the internet price. If i had to try and sell you a truck, the price would go up every minute your ugly mug was in the dealership hey.. its dark out.. I am not that ugly when it is dark...

If I had your money I'd pay sticker, tell the sales guy Merry Christmas and be on my way. I'd write it off as charity and convenience.

3/36 bumper to bumper is pretty standard. Powertrain is 5/100 on Ram. I do not know what Toyota and GM do. But with folks paying $30k, $40k, and up for these pickups, a 100k powertrain warranty is the minimum they should be including. But the free market is the free market, and folks haven't stopped buying them for substandard warranties.
