^^^ I think the high trim level ‘23s were not shipped to Canada until very recently. I’ve been told we won’t see ‘24s here for a very long time.

There are a number of things that make me less excited about flipping this time.
1. I’m not getting the kind of discount I got in the past
2. The order coming in at the end of the year is disappointing
3. I really like my 2022
4. My wife likes the massage seats and the dealer opted to delete the massage seats in order to get the order pulled
5. I actually don’t care for many of the changes they’ve made to the truck.

Something I thought of on this. The 23 being as you are getting this when the 24's are already out. You get an extra 20k miles before it will be high mileage! You're at zero miles, as are 24's.
You drive alot of miles per year iirc, that could another benefit vs the used rig with half the miles.
Also based on last post......keep the one you have until a 24 or 25 model has options you want.
As for me, I've got another 3-5 yrs before I'll be ready to trade in the 14.

Since you asked "what would you do", I'd also be in the Option 3 category - keep what you have. I used to be a new every year/every other year guy. But that was a long time ago. Brand new every year just isn't important to me, especially in current times with high interest rates (assuming you are financing that type of purchase).
If you do go new, I'm curious as to your report of how much seat of the pants difference the HO engine makes over the standard.

Your answer comes from number 4 above. Keep the current truck!
After 4, I rank all others supporting 4.

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).
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.
There are no more "smokin hot deals." People don't underprice what they have because they don't know what it's worth anymore. It's so easy to get a value online and any vehicle dealer will do a free appraisal for you if you're willing to put up with a few cold calls. Even on the off chance you're not tech savvy you know someone who is and ask them to get you a value.
It's the world of the "I know what I have. No lowballers."
If it's being sold cheap, there's something wrong with it that they're not telling you. That or it's stolen. You HAVE to assume that to protect yourself.

I look at it this way. I have grown to respect your way of buying the next NEW truck hardly after the first oil change is required. Now to think of you possibly buying a USED truck is just shattering my respect for your style!!! ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin")

^^^ Full disclosure: ….. The dealership has called and they have two of the 2023 Platinums that my brother and I ordered in. His 2022 is 9 months newer and has half the mileage on it compared to mine. He is offered 4k more for his, so it is an option for us to just flip one of the trucks. …. Don’t think that’s going to happen. We plan on taking them both.

Last week we purchased a "used" 2023 Ram 2500 Hemi with ~9k miles so some more shattered respect. We really didn't need it, but the price was good. My wife (she wrote the check) and I picked it up and drove it to the farm. Rides pretty smooth.
