I am replacing my 2022 F350 Platinum with 26000 miles. I can replace it with an identical truck .... 9 months newer and 1/2 the mileage for $4000 difference .... or, for $14,500 (CAD) difference I can pick up a new 2023 high output Platinum that I ordered months ago that has finally come in.
2023 F350 SRW Platinum short box 4x4.

If I was you, I would buy the 23, and order the new 24 or 25 truck while there, so I dont have to worry about not getting a new truck next year!
ME! I usually drive them until there dead around 10 yrs and 200K miles. I dont have the funds to trade in on a yearly basis.

^^^My question to you would be …. If you were looking at replacing your 2014 Chevy and you could get a 2022 with 13k miles for $x amount or a brand new high output new redesigned 2023 for $x + $10,500 CAD ($7600 USD) which truck would you pick?

Typically the largest depreciation is in the first year, if we assume you drive 26000 miles per year you can still sell it in one year with warranty remaining, also you would get a new truck that is not the first model year of a new design (usually the wanting is better than the having anyways)

Have you considered what’s behind door number 3 also?
Assign the sale of your preordered ‘23 for current market price and end up with the ‘22 for free, possibly with cash in hand to boot.

Agree. Check the new one carefully and move forward with what you really want. It's only $10K US.

I'd keep the one you have and drive it until it hits 250k miles. My last truck I drove for 20 years and 268k miles. Never any internal engine or trans issues.
As long as it stays reliable, I'd rather put the money in a camper, boat, or invest.

If it were me, I'd keep my barely broken-in truck and put the money toward upgrading my 16-year old trailer . . . but of course, that's just me.

I would take the new truck, gaining a year of trade-in value for the next new truck. That will cut the 4k 14k difference in half, when the time comes to move up again.
Someone on a tight budget, may think differently, but I don't think that is the case for either of us.
