Just so you are aware, I spoke to someone I know at another Ford Dealership. When the dealer puts your order in the system, the price it is at that time is locked in on what they were going to pay for it. So, if they try to get more money out of you, that just means they are trying to make a bigger profit. That's at least what I understand.There was a price increase on April 12th and another scheduled for April 22nd. Expedition prices went up on April 12th. My Platinum went up $4,000.00 since I ordered it. I am waiting for my dealer to confirm that my order is price protected. He keeps saying that he has to find out from his manager. Apparently his manager has gone missing.
Here are the items affected for Expeditions on 4/12/22. No increases for the Expeditions in tomorrow's price increase.

Thanks. People are telling 2 different stories. One, that is, as you say, automatic and prices are locked in at the time the order is accepted, and the other version is that the Dealer has to take the initiative to do some process within the Ford order system in order to Price Protect the order. I hope what you say is true, because this new dealer that I am working with (my original dealer closed) won't lift a finger to do anything.Just so you are aware, I spoke to someone I know at another Ford Dealership.
