Reservation holder from TN here. Did not make the 22 but should be in line for a 23 from what I can tell. I currently have my reservation through Ford of Murfreesboro but haven't been thrilled with their communication or lack thereof. Thinking about changing my reservation to another who is not expected to mark them it up as I am guessing Ford of Murfreesboro will. Anyone have any recommendations for a new dealer in Middle TN area? Considering Bates Ford since they were listed as no markup in the dedicated thread.

Welcome to the forum @cmaloney9916.
I'm not from TN but did remember seeing that Bob Bowers Ford is a no ADM dealer, so you might want to check them out along with Bates Ford.
What Lightning spec were you hoping to get?

Hey @cmaloney9916 there's a couple of Tennessee dealers on our no ADM list you might want to check out.

ADM/No-ADM Dealers (the naughty and nice list)

I'll be modifying this list based on information from various sources. I've started off the Lightning sub-forum from the F-150 Gen14 Forum. Please reply below if you have information on dealers not listed. Note: X-plan will not be available for 2022 Lightnings. We don't know about future years...

Thanks for the replies. I have checked the thread which is how I found Bates Ford. I've searched for Bob Bowers Ford but don't think it exists. There's a Matt Bowers Ford out of LA but nothing in TN. My reservation dealer Ford of Murfreesboro will not give me any info on reservation number, place in line, etc. so I'm going to talk to Bates about switching my reservation. Newton South would be closer to me but don't really want to pay any markup.

Keep us posted! What markups have you come across so far?

Fingers crossed that Bates Ford can be more helpful that your first dealership. Which Lightning trim are you ordering?

More than likely an extended range lariat but not totally decided yet. Not 100% sure I will follow through with my order but strongly considering it.

Pennyrile Ford isn’t charging above MSRP. Great small dealership up in Hopskinville, KY. I bought my platinum from them years ago and they gave me a SCREAMING deal. I’ve also seen there’s a dealership in Cookeville that’s not doing above MSRP. If I wasn’t out in Knoxville, I’d take Pennyrile all day!

Thanks for the info. Hopkinsville isn't too far so I will definitely consider them as well. Got some family in the Seymour area and graduated from UT in 07.

I was up at Campbell prior to moving out here for grad school. It’s a great area and TN is growing so much. We love Nashville and are having a tough time deciding between moving back that way or back to CO.
Definitely check out Pennyrile! The small commute is worth it. Best of luck and Go Vols!

The growth around here is crazy. I'm a native middle tennesseean and it has changed quite a bit.

That's a tough choice. Only been to CO once and absolutely loved it. Go Vols! Can't wait for football season. We use to have season tickets until 2020 then had our son in 21 so we haven't been in awhile. Ready to get back there.
