My friends new Lariat didn't have the heated steering wheel. It was supposed to be equipped but wasn't available.

Yea hopefully they don't carry over the C shape headlight design. It looks awful. Last Gen of GM sierras used to have a similar headlight design.

I don't have the window sticker in front of me, and I think I actually lost it, but my 2018 XLT window sticker (the one I bought new) and what I actually paid for it were a little over 20% different - and that was OUT THE DOOR. My current XLT had a sticker of 53 or 56k - and I paid 38 for it with 22k miles, right as used car prices went banananuts. Broke my heart to pay that much for a used truck because I knew the original owner had paid roughly what I paid for the dang thing (if he was a value shopper like me)
I am certainly willing to drive it for another 10 years if that is how long it takes for me to be able to see the value in purchasing a new vehicle without some heavy discounts. They have started discounting now, one I looked at pretty hard was a little over 10% off of sticker but I just can't. I can't see the value in it yet. At 20% it would be starting becoming a little clearer. At 25% (which was easy pre-covid on closeout model years) I would thinking hard on this one (attached image)
Only thing it's missing that I want is a 36 gallon tank, only thing it has that I don't care for is FX4. It would be my first 3.5 ECO, and I do really love my little 2.7 (have had 2 5.0's)
When I find a 2024 Lariat BAP in 2025 at 25% off sticker, I'll be pretty damn glad I waited. I saw a new one in a parking lot the other day. I hate leather, but Jaysus that was a pretty truck. I have never really wanted anything other than a loaded XLT just because I do not like leather, but my broken Grinch heart grew three sizes that day. I wanted the Precious....... but not at sticker.

In Canada, we get shafted. Dealers are still selling everything at MSRP if not with Markups.
I wish we had the competition and population that US has so we could get some discounts and things become cheaper.

Myself, I have no desire to buy another new truck with the way the market is right now. As close as I can get to my 2020, item for item, a 2023 would run me close 10K more, MSRP, and have "features" built in that I just plain don't want.
The two trucks before my '20, were bought at year end off the lot, both nice trucks, but lacked things I wanted.
The '20 I put together myself, got exactly what I wanted from Ford. It was bought with the thought that this would likely be my last new truck, I'm 72 right now.
They would have to offer a better looking truck than my '20, at a fantastic price as well. I don't think the cost will be coming down during the rest of my life.
