Considering the $6-$9k markup for 23s... I'll buy a 22 XLT with maybe a $10k markup... but that doesn't exist. I'm not paying but $20k+ like I see some dealerships... bleh.

My goal is to get the F150 Lightning Pro, or Std Range XLT (some options are desirable). I'll take whatever I can get for the tax credit, as I get the full $ 7500 on the MMe I purchased this year and will trade in on the Lightning. If I'd gotten the Lightning this year, I would not have gotten the MMe - though it is a blast to drive. :):cool:
I'm hoping I get to place my order in about 2 weeks - I know I won't get in the first 2 weeks.

7-9K price increase, no tax incentives for ER, 22MY ordering priority BS, and now 23MY ordering priority BS just kills it for me.

Don't get me wrong, the lightning is interesting, but the initial buzz has been replaced with Meh especially since I work from home 4/5 day.

If I wanted a pickup I'd just grab a maverick for <$25K as a second vehicle and call it a day.
Are you me in an alternate universe?!? Same exact rational. With working from home 100%, I barely put 10,000 miles on my Escape. And if I need to make a grocery store run or a long range family trip, I'm taking the fullsize SUV.

The good news is that, of the people who are not still mulling it over, nearly 36% in this poll have decided to drop out. If that rate holds true for all reservation holders who are still waiting, then it makes my chances of getting a 2023 MY much, much better.

Unless I decide to join the 36%!

Yes, the private offer takes it down to MY22 prices.

Where are you seeing Katskinz that cheap? When I looked (didn't buy) for a previous truck, it was in the $2k range (front and rear seats)
