I don't guess this is an "ordering" question, so much as it is a question of finding trucks that are already built.
I'm just wondering is there's a national online database that shoppers can use to find a truck already in a dealer's inventory?
I know if I go to the Ford.com site, I can plug in a zip code and look at 4 or 5 dealer's inventories... but when you're trying to find a truck in a particular color, with particular options... that can get to be a PITA, especially if you live in a small town with few large dealers.
Sure, I can go to Cars.com, type in certain parameters like color & trim, and see trucks from all over the US... but you can't see the window stickers unless you exit that site, go to the dealer's site, etc.
Example: Let's say I want a 2014 F-450 Platinum with black exterior & interior, with a 5th wheel prep kit, engine block heater, upfitter switches, etc. Is there a website I can go to, plug in those colors & options, and find out who (if anyone) has that EXACT truck in their inventory? Not something similar, but that exact truck... even if it's 2000 miles away from me?
