I have not looked into this program lately, but doubt anythng has changed. It's been a while since I spoke to Ford regarding this program, but a year or so ago there were less than a 100 dealers on the list out of 3,500+ dealers nationwide

bobby is right on the money...my dealer did not qualify...so i lost about 1500 in incentives...but gained 0 percent...really not that great of a flip for me as i had 3 percent financing in place...but ill use fords money if they want me too...

thanks for the updates...

Went to the dealer today, decided on a f250 lariat CC LWB manual trans. I think we are going to wait till March and see what incentives we might gain (or loose) Who knows! They were unable to get the rapid heat cab heater to go into the order form because of the manual trans. Has anyone else tried to do this with success? I have read a deal that had the job three mods on it, but I can't seem to dig it up anymore so if anyone has it or knows where it is please let me know.

It's in the 2008 F250 Ordering Guide. You can get it here:

Sunrise Ford Fleet - The Download Center

The info is on page 2 ( third page into the .pdf ) on the bottom right side, 5th item down under the Job 3 heading.

Did your dealer just give up, or is he looking into an answer for you?

Thanks for the link. I just called the dealer and sent the link to him. He said that he would look at it and call their ford rep and find out what is going on. His program would not allow him to put in the rapid heat deal, I guess they have about 2-3 weeks to figure it out. The dealer I am working with is pretty small, but by far the most informative and easy to work with I have seen. I'm sure we will get it worked out.

On another note, he also said that even though ford switched to the 3.55 axle, they have switched back to 3.73 in the last week or so because they ran out of the 3.55. Sounds like someone ran out of fingers when counting
