Its looking like the 21's with all original options (heated steering wheel, auto start stop, active park assist, multi contour seats xm radio/connected nav) resale value will be holding strong with all these chopped up trucks entering the market. I feel bad for anyone purchasing a platinum or limited trim today.

This continued decontenting is not good. I lost factory nav, SiriusXM and Co-Pilot Assist 2.0 on my ‘22 XLT.

For those of us that live in an area where winter can be brutal, the loss of heated mirrors is not good news. A heated steering wheel to me is less of a loss, but sucks nonetheless.

Back to the 80s and 90s.

Also don't need the heated steering wheel, but heated mirrors are a must nowadays for those like myself that are in emergency response and snowplow in the northeast. Ford needs to rethink this hard, or at least leave it on vehicles based on location. I honestly may cancel and delay purchasing.

I also wonder how hard it would be to add the heated mirrors later.

If they did that to any 2022's that are on chip hold, I'd be canceling my order.. Sorry for those who were wanting these options for their 2023.

I’m torn. I’m buying the from a good friend who is the GM. He was very helpful, gave me a great price, and didn’t require a deposit. For 70k, I can’t buy a truck without heated wheel and mirrors. Not where I live. I’m going to have to suck it up or refuse delivery and he’ll be stuck with a 70k truck he can’t sell. I really don’t want to screw him.

It’s curious that the announcement says “certain” but then the guidance to dealers says “all” new orders. Does “certain” mean “all orders between xx/xx/xxxx and yy/yy/yyyy” or does it mean like with the SiriusXM/nav delete “by trim but also a tad randomly as we use up parts?” Gotta work on the clarity, Ford.

It states "certain 2023MY F-150 trucks". What might those certain trucks be? Where I live, heated mirrors are a must.
Yeah hopefully Ford is taking it out of southern bound vehicle where heated mirrors and wheel don't get much use down here. Having heated mirrors in the NE is a must!

Ford is doing their best to send customers to other brands. I’m not paying 86K for a truck without heated mirrors or steering wheel. Apparently they are deleting the tailgate appliqué from some Raptors as well.

How hard and at what cost would it be to add heated mirrors later? If this is a blanket omission, Ford should offer up a later retrofit like they did with Bronco hard tops.

It says all scheduled and unscheduled. I’m waiting to confirm but I believe this to mean every single MY23. It is BS and I’m likely going to ruin a relationship with a great friend by refusing to accept delivery.
