I sold my similar 2020 for a good price after 2+ years. I liked it but made a few compromises due to early pandemic uncertainty...ormaybe boredom. I traded my 2012 that I bought new. With used prices high I figured I'd sell the 2020 and order exactly what I wanted in a 2022 and if I had in by December that was fine. I planned ahead and got all the materials I needed for home projects and could get by driving my summer car easily.
I completely missed the news when Ford cut off the 2022 orders right around the time the 2020 sold...but I still figured I'll just order a 2023 in July and have it by fall.
Once I got back on the forums ( the other big one) I saw that 2023 production wasn't actually starting until fall and since my build would be fairly chip heavy I could see it not showing up until spring or even summer next year. And the price increases caught me off guard too, not even considering what 2023 pricing or option deletion might be.
I ended up finding one truck on the lot that was 95% what I would have ordered. And by chance it was an abandoned 2022 special order built in January and I believe on chip/ shipping hold until a few weeks ago. Sticker is basically around X plan for the same build if ordered today...which of course can't be done.
So, boading a flight in a few minutes to pick it up 5 or 6 states away...crazy times in the truck world.
