How's it running? The service interval is 100k miles. I would wait. I may change mine around 70k; currently has 30k miles. No issues and runs great! I bought a set about a month ago when I got a great deal from Pep Boys on ebay.

I'm with Mueckster ^^^.
At just 23k there shouldn't be any need to change those spark plugs for at least another 50K.
I'd check out the owners manual, but I don't think you really have much of a scheduled service until 100K. Unless an issue comes up.

I am sorry but I disagree.... Sorry guys 
Here's how I feel, yes Ford has a 100k Interval BUT if u read around a lot of people have had to change their Spark Plugs in a fraction of that time, myself included. My truck is a 2013 w/a 5.0 & last July, with barely 50k on her, I had been searching for a solution to my "slight miss" feel after a cold start & I discovered all this discussion on Spark Plugs.
So I figured why not & changed them, while changing the Plugs corrected the "slight miss"
The job itself presented me with another problem 
If u look at my Link I am pasting below, you'll see that those little ******* bolts which hold the ignition coils down, can pose a problem themselves. Remember the 5.4 Plug issues? This isn't that bad but it will **** u off, anyway if u choose not to change your Plug's now, I would at least try to back out those little bolt's & add a dab of anti-seize....

P.S. Keep in mind I live in central NC, so this was not a rust issue.

It will be something to consider, if the "unexpected" happens.
