PPV has become easier to get providing you have decent credentials.
I agree, in order of difficulty I have found Dodge the least, then Chevrolet, and Ford being the biggest PIA if you can get one at all. My last Explorer PD was pure luck after 6 months looking and most of the time being told no by dealers. Then I found a dealer who ordered 2 Explorers with street appearance packages in the wrong color for and agency who declined them. After a few months of paying the floor plan fee they finally decided to sell them to me since I am an up fitter (I used documentation from my last purchase of a Dodge Charger).
If you are in the market for one for these specialty vehicles, it's nice to know some car manufacturers will work with you. They know they are going to get top dollar since there is no real bargining going to happen, and with Ford just look around a find a dealer that screwed up an order.
I start my next search in 2020 for replacement car and truck.
