The luck of timing .... I sincerely hope you can get what you want in a 2023 model-year truck.

Ouch! That hurts. I love that 360-degree camera package! What a bummer.

That's too bad, kind of defeats the point of ordering your truck if you don't end up getting what you want.

We'll see what Chip has to say. Maybe they will have it sorted out by the time they build our truck.

Yep think I was pretty lucky getting my truck not only in good time but with everything I ordered.

The online Ford configurator still shows the 360 camera as an option, but as you pointed out It can always be unilaterally deleted after order which really sucks.

The major issue i would check with new orders is price protection. Make sure you price is fixed when you order. It definitely is in the US although some dealers feign ignorance.

Granger though looks like a good Dealer, they seem to offer several % off MSRP and get good feedback on the F150-14th gen forums.

We are also going with the Lariat and 3.5 ecoboost. ...

Just FYI attached is the Dealer Order Guide for the 2023 F150 which was released today. I had to break it into 3 parts to fit attachment requirements for this forum, but it's all there. Note each page is dated and these are subject to update.

As expected there are no mechanical or body changes for 2023, just a number of trim / option / option bundling revisions

Source webpage for the attached and updates is this post on the Blue Oval Forums

Me, I'm more than ever thankful for the luck of timing - my preferred Lariat 'Base 500A' trim has been eliminated for 2023; the more expensive Lariat "Standard 501A" is now the lowest trim available with full-powered tailgate and power extend/retract trailer tow mirrors. So it goes.

EDIT - I just realized there's no SuperCab Lariat at all for 2023, only SuperCrew Lariat!

I ordered an F150 XLT from Chip on March 31st. Still no delivery date but hopefully I get it before Christmas.
