When buying from stock makes sense
You need it this month, your current vehicle is failing, or you're flexible on color and small options. You can drive it, inspect it and take it home the same day.
When a factory order is worth the wait
You want a specific package (towing, off-road, tech) that's rarely stocked, or you'd rather not pay for a sunroof or premium paint you don't care about.
- Pick exact trim, engine, color and packages
- Lock in the price agreement in writing at order time
- Track the build with status updates from the dealer
How long does an order take?
It varies by model, plant schedule and season. Ask the dealer for the current scheduling window for your model before you commit, and get it in writing.
Price protection and incentives
Ask whether incentives are locked at order time or at delivery, and whether the price can change if the model year changes. Read the order agreement before signing.
Ask your salesperson to search incoming allocation first. The exact build you'd order may already be on a truck headed to Houston.
