Found one
I found a 2022 on line at a dealership close by. It's pretty close to what I was looking for. Is there a date on the window sticker that tells when the truck was produced. I'm just wondering if this is one of those trucks that sat in some field for 6 months waiting on parts. Thanks for information.

But, be wary of vehicles found on the dealer website, doesn't always mean the truck is a dealer stock truck, could be one ordered for a customer, could be that it isn't even on the ground at the dealer yet.
Often new trucks go live on a dealer's website automatically when the truck gets built.
My truck was listed on my dealer's website inventory weeks before it got to the dealer.

I once bought a Ranger that was 5 months "old" when I got it. Never had any issues. Drove it 275,000 and 12 years. Sold it to my preacher and he drove it to 450,000.
Buy the truck if you want it.

I wouldn't sweat the time it has been sitting at all.
The real question is whether it is a good deal or not and if it is the truck you actually want or need.
If the answer to that is yes, buy it and don't look back.

However I would crawl around under it with a pen light and see if I saw signs of rodent damage if thats what you're concerned about. From my experience of having rodents in vehicles, you can see little bitty footprints in the dust on everything and droppings as well as actual nests. But I'd look for the little footprints, that is, if the dealer hasn't smeared SoulGlo on everything to "prep" it.

Before all the pandemic delays, back when dealers had lots of stock on hand, vehicles might sit for quite a while before being sold.

I would not let the situation you're suggesting stop me.

I KNOW!!! Its almost lunch Monday.
If it had been me, I would have already bought the truck, taken a few pics and posted them here, and been firing a .45 out the window blaring Hank Jr. and heading to get some BBQ in my new truck
I guess some people aren't like me...?
