Ford Announces Nationwide Employee Pricing For All To Celebrate America's 250th Anniversary

[RDH43]

For me, at least, sales promotions like Employee Pricing isn't any more specific than the old '50s TV sales routine Don't make a $300 mistake! Most vehicle buyers do not pay cash outright (they should, but they don't!). There are (almost) always trades-ins, carry-over liens, add-ons (VIN numbered glass, door edge guards, etc.) used to confuse buyers. And let's don't forget the cash off items like belonging to the Shrine, Cowboy Hall-of-Fame, Boy's and Girl's Club, or the local brothel! Adjust any of these offers and you're back to List pricing!

As I said, it is always best to pay cash which allows you dicker room. If you have to result in financing, do it before you go to any dealer (bank, credit union, etc.), otherwise the dealer will offer home financing! But, if you can't read, and/or understand financing double-talk, the price you pay will be based on whatever the dealer can bamboozle you out of!

Like everything in life, there is no free ride!

No is a powerful word even in a car deal....having purchased more than 50 its a very good word for sure...The next one is OTD price...That's a very good question to ask and live by in a car deal......;)

Last year when they did employee pricing the special models including DH were excluded from the program.

Program details, emboldening mine:

Available on the purchase or lease of an eligible new 2025 or 2026  Ford vehicle from a participating Ford Dealer. Excludes: 2025 Ford Escape®, 2025 Explorer®, 2026 Super Duty® Lariat®, all King Ranch® and Platinum® models; all Chassis Cab and E-Series® models; 2026 Bronco® Stroppe and all Raptor® models except 2025 Bronco Raptor; all Mustang Dark Horse® SC, Mustang® GTD™ models, Ford GT™; and Transit® Wagon. U.S. residents only. Prior purchases not eligible. Other exclusions may apply. Place a new retail order or take new retail delivery from an authorized Ford Dealer’s stock by 7/6/26.​

What's hilarious is one dealer near me was offering $2500 off on a regular Dark Horse Premium.

Since this program was announced, they've removed that dealer incentive and you now have to "come in to see what the Ford employee price is."

I paid $40,500 D plan pricing for my '24 GT base. Exactly two years and 17K mile slater, I traded it on a '26 GT premium, D plan price was $51,000. I got $39,200 on trade and my payment stayed the same, as I had put a ton of $ down when I bought the '24.
The '24 was Grabber Blue with Space Gray cloth, and I loved it, but once I saw Adriatic Blue in the sun, I was SOLD!
