2023 Model Forum
Why is there not a 2023 dedicated forum yet? The truck is different enough to warrant one.
- control modules
-body panels
- HO engine
- vehicle networks
etc. I get really confused now when looking at the forum. Let’s create a new one?

Maybe same reason there is not a 1999-2003 or 2004-2009 section. There are enough similarities between them. They all have 6.7 powerstrokes, and they all have aluminum bodies, and they all have the same modules, just the newer ones have a few more.

But I’ve had both and they could use their own sections in many ways also. Would help keep things more focused in a lot of ways
either way if you look at how they lumped different generations together on here in the past it doesn’t look likely to happen

It would take about 3 minutes to create a new 2023 forum, back when the time was right. It would have saved a lot of silly bickering.
I created a forum once using vBulletin software, Literally, 3 minutes on the backend would have done it. Now, with so many '23 post mixed onto the pile, it would be a lot of work to separate them all out.

"Advanced" has little to do with it in my mind, not every owner buys the "advanced" version haha. The fact that the '23 shares very few parts (including the not advanced parts) with the 17-22 is enough to warrant it's own section to me.

But I digress.
Respectfully.

Does the '23 really have 100% new body panels? Does it have a new frame, new suspension, new powertrains?
Admittedly I haven't researched them, but I would think that if they had released a NEW diesel (not an update to the 15 year old one), a NEW platform, NEW cab....we'd have seen it all over the internet. The only new things I see are a 6.8L engine (which is just a tweaked 7.3) and yet another grille.
I'm reminded of the S197 5.0 Mustangs. 11-12 and 13-14 have a LOT of differences including grille, lights, interior, dash, body shape front and rear, and even an updated engine for '13. But those cars are always lumped together because it's the same PLATFORM. If you made a new forum every time a wire changed colors you'd have 1,000 forums.
