A friend just picked up her 2022 F350 Lariat 2 weeks shy of 1 year after ordering. It was built in Sept. but obviously was waiting on something. It’s not really loaded up. A couple folks on FTE have ordered 23’s and have build dates this month already. Who knows, best of luck with yours.

There was a hold up last year for leather seats (Lariat.)

My opinion—yours may vary:
With a ten speed transmission, a higher numeric ratio axle (ie. 4.30) is not needed. Just put the truck in Tow Haul mode and let it shift. The 3.73 axle will get “slightly” better mileage when not towing while the 4.30 will make little difference when towing (in mileage.) Yes, the 4.30 is rated for a heavier fifth wheel, but the 3.73 is rated for 17,600 or more depending on configuration. While the 4.30 will reduce down shifting from high gear, it won’t do much below high and reduced shifting is one of the goals of Tow Haul mode.

I thought about buying the same truck but could not justify the price.
So I kept my 2003 F250 V10 with just over 100,00 miles and changed oil on everything and all new everything else etc. Still runs great. My age 86, properly would not let me enjoy a new truck that long

Yeah, I got a email Friday saying it’s scheduled to be built the week of March 6th. Don’t know that I believe that but it’s already got a VIN assigned so I can track the process. I do know they were building XLs and XLTs first as some other models they are waiting for parts for yet. We’ll see, no hurry at this point.

Hi,
The 7.3 with the ten speed works fine for me with about 15K fifth wheel. If I were to go larger, I would suggest a diesel, but up to 15K, even with the 3.73, you are fine.

4.30 is a little stout if you do a lot of 90-100 mph empty cruising.
But 2000-2200 rpm’s gets you up to 75-80 mph in 10th with 4.30s.
Sounds perfect for a heavy haul gasser!
Never turn down squeezing the most out of a gasser if towing heavy.
Gotta make up for the 60% loss of torque!
