I went there when I first started looking for my truck. I found their "no-haggle" price was significantly higher than deals I was able to get at several other dealers closer to the lake.

As others have posted, go to Edmunds or Consumer Reports and arm yourself with the invoice price. That should be your starting point for negociations, and should go down from there.

I was able to use X-Plan plus the discounts being offered at the time to get mine at well below invoice.
