I have been daily driving my wife’s old Escalade, and it has been a damn good truck. Well I’m pushing 260k on it and it still runs well, but it’s age is showing. So I have been looking at a 15 to 20 Escalade to replace it. Even with 100 k on them they are higher than giraffes pussy. So I thought whats available new, I always liked a short bed regular cab. So GM an Chevy are out. I had a 14 GMC that I loved the look of but it rode like shit stock. and rode just as bad after the 4/6 drop kit. The new dodges just don’t trip my trigger. So I startEd my search for a new ford with a 5.0, a locking diff and not white. Found more than a few with my requirements in a 200 mile search. All but one was an XL. The one XLT msrp was 46k, fuck me! I really didn’t do much more than send texts asking for the drive off price. I got the best price, no bullshit out of a little dealership just north of Abilene, in the town of Anson. Sales man by the name of Cody Hethcoat, just a straight up great guy to deal with. Shot me a good price, does a financial ap to get the 1.9% that Ford was offering on the trucks. This is Friday evening, I get a bunch more texts from other dealer but they all get squirmy on putting the price on screen. The one local dealer that had the XLT said 44k out the door, I politely declined. A few more Texts back he want to know who is beating him. I was like,it doesn’t matter. So anyway I get up at 5 and I was bored so I said fuck and looked at theXLT truck, I was about as hard loaded as you can get now a days. So I say fuck it and offer 40,500 OTD. Well the morning is most done and I’m backing up to the trailer to head to Anson. I get a text back that they will take the deal, but only if I buy today. I said your on, he asks how fast I can be down there. I said I’ll see you in 30 minutes. So I go though and buy the XLT.
But now I feel like shit because the guy in Anson was just great to deal with. I’m going to mail him 300 bucks for his time. i would not have gotten the deal if he didn’t hit me with good price on the blue xl up front. So I’m typing up a text, when he called me back.
And sport mode, traction control off and the diff locked, this bitch is fun.
