Hi All. Apologize if this has been discussed (I attempted to search the threads and couldn't find anything too relevant) but wondering if there are any incentives or discounts to custom ordering a Ford Max from local dealer? The process appears pretty straightforward ie. build online and bring into dealer, but wondering if there are any concessions for doing so? If anyone has custom ordered a Max within the past 12 months and has any advice or insight into the process I'd love to hear. Thank you.

Our growing family is torn on whether or not to purchase an "older" (20/21) Expedition Max Platinum go with a newer 22/23 XLT/Limited. Both seem to price out about the same. We have done extensive large SUV research and know definitely we want a Ford vs. GM/GMC. We are drawn to Max Platinum features like upscale interior details and things like power deployable running boards, but with how fast technology changes these days I'm wondering if the entertainment dash systems in the 20/21 will quickly become outdated and therefore it's better to just go with the new and forego any platinum-like features. Our budget is $60-$70k, of course the less we can spend the better. We also considered a use Lincoln Nav but it feels a bit too showy for us.. But again, open to feedback here. How would you proceed and why? Are there other factors we should consider as we narrow down our decision? We've very much enjoyed reading the posts on this forum so we appreciate any insight. Thank you.
