The target — what verified buyers support — is the primary recommendation. Invoice is a supporting benchmark.
Estimated manufacturer holdback: $1,872 — money the dealer keeps regardless of your price. Dealers rely on it for overhead and rarely sell into it.
Estimated net dealer cost (a range, not a quote): $55,225 – $56,161.
Invoice-estimate confidence: high · MSRP source: window sticker.
These figures are estimates. Dealer invoice and holdback are calculated from MSRP using standard manufacturer formulas and may differ from a specific dealer’s actual invoice. “Net dealer cost” is an estimated range, not a quoted price, and excludes factory-to-dealer cash incentives, which are regional, time-limited, and model-specific. Dealers rely on holdback to cover overhead and rarely sell into it. Use these numbers as negotiation context — the most reliable benchmark is what verified buyers actually paid.

Back Over Prevention: Rearview Camera · Campaign 25V123456
Certain 2024-2025 F-150 vehicles may have a rearview camera image that fails to display when the vehicle is in reverse, reducing the driver’s view and increasing crash risk.
Remedy: Dealers will update the camera software free of charge; owners are notified by mail.
Buyer Red Flags
Watch the dealer add-ons line
Ford F-150 deals in this market average about $1,100 in non-mandatory add-ons (paint sealant, nitrogen, VIN etch). Reject anything not on the Monroney.
1 recall campaign matched to this model year
NHTSA lists one recall campaign for the 2024-2025 F-150. Recall matching is by year, make and model — confirm your exact VIN’s open/closed status free at nhtsa.gov, and make sure the dealer completes any remedy before delivery. NHTSA remedies are always free.
