ShelbyKR Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Does anyone know of a website that will allow you to search the lower 48 of dealership inventory for Super Duty trucks. I have tried the search inventory on the Ford web site, but only allows you to go a 100 miles from my zip code. Tried changing it but it will not let me. I see some dealers have quite an inventory not far from me but not exactly what I am looking for. Just wondering who has what sitting on the lot. For the right truck I am willing to travel.

nswan Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 cars.com autotrader.com Can’t search the same specifics like Ford’s website allows, but you should still be able to search Trim Level and Fuel Type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just change the zip code and do multiple 100 mile searches. Or let a Ford dealer search for you or let Ford corporate find it for you. The option is there when you do build and price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCD Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Try edmunds.com. Can go out 500 miles with multiple search filters. New and used. https://www.edmunds.com/inventory/srp.html?inventorytype=new&make=ford&model=f-350-super-duty&radius=500&year=2021-* Edited December 27, 2021 by GCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what I did years ago when Ford offered an incredible A-Plan lease discount on a hybrid. Detroit area dealers were sold out in hours. I set zip code 90 miles away, and suddenly found a vehicle.

When we bought DW's Edge, our dealer had nothing in stock. Before factory ordering he took a list of what we wanted, started checking local dealers then our entire Province and neighbouring Provinces. He found exactly what we wanted about 600 to 700 miles away. He had it shipped to our dealer at no additional cost to me. Picked it up in a couple of days. Did the same with my Mustang, but he found that on a local dealer's lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdm Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 keep in mind a lot of dealers list special order trucks online to draw in more sales. They arent actually availible for sale and youll be told that you can "order one just like it" I dont imagine your going to find much of anything actually sitting on a lot. and be prepared to pay handsomely if you do find something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can look at the window stickers to see if it green or blue but still is not an absolute indication if it’s in stock or already sold.

ShelbyKR Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 The color of the window sticker tells if it was a dealer stock or special order? Does the window sticker tell what date the vehicle was delivered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the window sticker tell what date the vehicle was delivered? Ford stock orders have blue window stickers, retail orders have green window stickers. They're created just prior to production and affixed to the corresponding vehicle at the plant. As such, it would be impossible for it to include the delivery date at the dealership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can appear on dealer sites as soon as they get a vin. Edited December 28, 2021 by mattdm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site will allow up to 500 miles.

I get the same number of vehicles at 100 , 300 & 500 mile radius. It might say it's a 500 mile radius, but the results do not change after 100. Years back, it worked up to 300, but that was a long time ago. HRG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUEC135ELEVATOR Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I got so frustrated while looking for a truck before I ordered one. I did Google searches of dealers and called many of them and drove 20 mins to 3 hours after speaking to a sales person and them saying they have a truck and giving me the details on the truck they have and I drive out to them after they say it was available for purchase. To get there and then show me the truck and then they say they can't sell it but they are very happy to help me order one. I ran into that three different times, one of them actually pulled the truck around showed it to me and then came back and told me they couldn't sell it. Just be ready and expect them to say anything to get you in to the dealership. One dealer actually had the nerve to tell me they had a truck when they didn't (sorry someone just bought rhat truck) and when I got there they showed me a 2 wheel drive dually and in E250....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealer even told me a couple of weeks ago not to be surprised to see my truck on their site when it ships from the factory. He says they list all incoming trucks on there to attract attention.

Unless Ford has changed their policy and forcing retail factory orders and/or vehicles in transit to appear on dealership websites, the Dealer can have their web host filter out those vehicles, so they don't appear on the dealership sites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
