I get where you’re coming from but I wouldn’t rush to sell a truck only to place an order on something you don’t know when it’ll be delivered. Especially when we’re talking a Super Duty at that. Fords been pitiful and I’d be even more afraid of a brand new model’s quality during a parts shortage.
worst case is you have a low mileage super duty still. You clearly aren’t driving much to begin with averaging 4k miles per year?

I think you wait and trade in once/ if your truck comes in
27k means you aren’t going to out on more then 5k if it takes 9 months and still great low miles. If your value tanks so will new trucks. Plus if we are in a full blown recession then you have a paid off truck with 30k miles on it.

Yea I’m waiting to hear back when they get the specs to see what’s on different trims. My truck now pretty much has everything they offered at the time. So message seats, panoramic, 360 camera etc. Heads up display is appealing. BMW had it and I liked it.

they probably will let you order whatever you want on oct 27th. It’s what they will let you build on Jan 3rd.

then keep the current truck thru this recession? Or buy a lightly used truck with the long bed because if this recession hits like you’re planning that’ll be real cheap.

I place a order 1/31/22 with a refundable deposit using a credit card with the option of backing out if at the time of delivery (6 months later) my trade in value wasn’t what I wanted.
My trade in value stayed the same, and did the deal. Best deal ever!

inthink OPs question more revolves around the trading in aspect. If he gets rid of his truck today, when will he see the new truck? And no one can answer that given all the **** ford has put buyers through with orders.
and as someone said, they will possibly let you order anything imaginable but what you actually get and when you get it are two different things.

I have a loaded southern, 1 owner, accident free, 2019 F250 Diesel 4wd platinum ultimate with 29k miles and lots of hard to get options (now), Listed it here for $75,750 and haven't gotten a single inquiry.
So, it's a good thing I don't mind keeping it

I sold a 2019 King Ranch when I ordered my 2022 in August of 2021. The dealer let me run the truck through them as a trade in to avoid paying the full sales tax on my 2022. They charged me $300.00 to do that. (Good deal). However, It took over 11 months to get my 2022 Platinum. I would guess that your 2023 will take 6-months to a year. I would keep that in mind. If you can borrow one, I would say, sell it and run it through the dealer. Get top dollar while you can.

So I’m basically ordering same truck but a long bed this go around. I have a flat bed and other vehicles as well.
My understanding is orders start 10/27, production in January and arrival who knows? I assume y’all had a long wait previously? I think the chip shortage is over for time being.

So I have a 2017 ccsc 6.7 platinum with 27k mi. I can get around $74k for it now. Ordering 2023 in a couple weeks. Should I sell now or wait until the new one comes and trade? It’s been paid off for around a year now. My main concern is obviously the used market tanking when 2023 arrives.
I mainly use truck for hunting trips and pulling cattle trailers to auction a couple times a month.
