the Ford one, xplan wasn’t much off and the local dealer would sell you a 48,500 truck for 48,000. Drive an hour further and got it for 34 without a single negotiation. Just pick your color.

I think the x-plan is 1 percent under factory wholesale price (invoice). I just bought a new Jeep truck recently that I custom ordered. I negotiated 6 percent under invoice plus the current incentive which was another $2000 off. It ended up being about 15 percent under sticker. Join the forums for whatever truck you plan on buying. You will find good info for what people are paying.
A few years ago, the x-plan was the best price you were going to get on a Raptor. For less demand models, you can do better on your own.

Negotiate over email and don't actually set foot in the dealership until all the negotiations are over. When I bought a car last year I emailed about 5 dealerships that had exactly what I wanted and got a price. I then took the cheapest one and emailed their price to another dealer who of course beat it, did the same one or two more times until sending the lowest offer to the dealer who had originally been the cheapest. I ended up getting a new Corolla that had a sticker price of 26k for just under 20k with more features than I was originally looking for because it's what he had on the lot.
