That's what I was thinking too. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

The MSRP of a 2023 F350 Platinum HO in Canada is about 20k over what it was for a 2022 F350 Platinum Powerstroke. I’m wondering how many people see that kind of value in the updated truck. So my question probably should have been: “If YOU were looking at replacing your current truck with a new to you Powerstroke and you found two slightly used F350 Platinums, one is a 2022 the other a 2023. How much more would YOU be willing to pay for the HO 2023?” For only $10k more would you jump at the 2023?

You ordered a 2023 for a reason. You won’t be happy with buying the used 2022. Get the 2023.

That's what I was thinking too. It wasn’t 1 of the choices but the question was “what would you do”. And that’s exactly what I would do - drive the current one about another 20 years.

^^^How old is your current one? I’m not wanting you to put yourself in my shoes. I’m wanting to understand how others will view a sudden huge price increase from one year to the next. So I want to know if you were going to be buying a truck now would want to avoid the 2023 on account of the huge price increase or do the upgrades justify the cost in your way of thinking.

I guess I’m not qualified to answer your question because even if I was going to buy a “new” truck today, the one I’d buy would be at least 3 or 4 years old ( or as in the case of my current truck - I get a fire sale, moving out of the country tomorrow, smokin hot deal).

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.
I have considered the possibility of a door number 3. It would be similar to what you're suggesting but would likely look more like take delivery of the '23 now and if I'm not happy with it after running it for 6 months or so I could sell it and buy a '22.

I like the "get a smokin hot deal" idea .... do they only come by once every 20 years? It would be great if you could take advantage of more of those smokiin hot deals.

Yup, same, but different. LOL.

Is your price on the 2023 more now than when you ordered it? If not, what is causing you to reconsider?
