Same thng with mine. Ordered a 23 Lariat on 9/15/22, was converted to a 24 8/1/23. Arrived 12/8/23 but my orginal color, Area 51 was discontinued. Ford gave me $2500 b/c of the price increase but it still cost me 3K more.
I ordered a 23 in Area 51, got converted to a 24, then Ford discontinued Area 51, replaced it with Azure Gray for $500 extra. I resent having to pay for paint so I opted for Iconic Silver. My faves are Azure Gray and Hot Pepper Red. So you are 55? Thats the new 35.
