Evidence

A new 2026 Ford Bronco page on 24fordofeaston.com shows MSRP $62,495, a dealer discount of $3,803, a Doc Fee line of $685, and a Total Price of $59,377. Lease fine print states the due at signing includes the $685 doc fee. The site footer disclosure instead says the $685 documentation fee is to be added to new and used vehicles' purchase price.

Checked October 17, 2026Grades are scored from the dealer's own published pricing.

What this dealer does well

  • Fee itemized inside the advertised price
  • Specials fine print names the doc fee as included in the due at signing

What would change this grade

  • Fix the footer disclosure that says the $685 documentation fee is to be added to the purchase price, contradicting the store's own price stacks (consistency 5 to 10; total 75, a B)
