Is there a specific reason, besides price, that you don't want an XLT ? I realize the XLT costs more based on MSRP.

Just price. I suppose the base model XL is normally a fleet truck.

Try calling AutoNation Ford Bellevue. Their showroom burnt to the ground a month ago and they have a ton of inventory parked off site still.
I'm betting you can get a good deal right now, as they'll want to retain customers while the new showroom is being built. http://www.autonationfordbellevue.com/ |

Here's the dirty little secret: most people don't need all the doo-dads on trucks these days and would actually prefer a base model. Truck-makers on the otherhand make less profit on base models. That said, in their commercials they want to be able to say "starts at $29,999"...so they need a base model with a nice price. In the end, they make a tiny amount of those trucks...which get bought up FAST....and then everyone is left to buy the more expensive models that the truck co actually wants to make.

Probably no money in stocking base models. In fact i've never seen a base F-150 on our lot. I bet you a dealership could order one though.

Previous body style the most basic you could find on the lots was usually the STX, which in my opinion was pretty nicely equipped but not fancy. I have no idea about the 2015+.
Given any thought to looking at different brands? I have to say the king of the basic truck is Toyota. I drove a 2015 Tundra Crewmax SR5 4x4 with the 5.7 v8 in it recently and was pretty impressed. Column shifter with a real bench seat up front and the standard features were everything you need and nothing you don't. If it wasn't for the fact I love my Tacoma I would've bought it. I was told $35k for the crewmax, $32k for the double cab and that wasn't with any negotiating. |

Legacy in Pasco has one. Definitely a good dealer to deal with too, no bullshit.

How basic are you looking for? As in 2WD, plain white, absolutely no options?

Basic as in 2WD, any color, reg cab/bed. I'll take the 3.5L or 2.7L engines.

You must not have been paying attention. Sure the big 3 are better selling, but for the most part the most basic trucks you can buy will still be a Toyota. On the lots for Dodge, Ford, and GM you will find the factory bro mobiles with 20"+ wheels and optioned out. I can pretty much go to any Toyota dealer and find a steel wheeled base model SR package truck. |

Here's a single cab 4wd with the 3.5l v6. I think you'll have a hard time finding a 2wd without ordering one or going to California. Definitely won't find a basic Ford west of the Cascades.

Not even close. It is an extended cab and much more expensive than the base model.

If "most people" perfected base models, they'd make more base models. |

Just curious; I'm looking for one too... |

Settle for a Chevy or a Ram and head to Dave Smith in Kellogg, ID.
Bought a new Ram 2500 there a couple months ago. I'll never buy a new vehicle anywhere else. Talk about hassle free buying. They give you the numbers over the phone and that's exactly what you get when you get there. Tacoma Dodge had 3 Ram 2500's in stock. Dave Smith had 563 in stock. Guess who had the model I wanted? Largest Ram dealer in the country and largest Chevy dealer in the NW. It's worth an email to them. |

All I need is a regular cab/bed with 2wd which has a base price of about $27K. I can't get that in Kellog as he is not selling Fords and the GMC/Chevy trucks he has are all about 10K more as they are 4wd and/or extended cab. I just need something with a larger payload than my Ranger.
