I ordered a '22 from them in December of '21. They screwed up the CVOP and blamed it on me. I will never go there again. Ordered and received my '23 elsewhere.
As to the original question..
Investing 39K to maybe make 1K if things go well, and there's no guarantee they will, Just isn't worth the hassle and associated risk. If you don't plan to use the vehicle, just let it go. You'll sleep better.
I needed a truck, but it had to be small enough to fit in my garage, had to be affordable, and had to get decent gas mileage. With those requirements the choice was pretty simple.
The ecoboost is rated at 277 ft/lbs of tourque. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the transmission is rated for 250 ft/lbs. I would assume that means if you're constantly hammering on the throttle, you will eventually break the transmission.

I noticed this when I picked up my truck last weekend. The service manager at the dealership also said that's just the way they are constructed. I don't like that (or the xl steel wheels) so both are being replaced next weekend.
For 2023 the XL trim became a constraint issue because Ford added cruise control and a bunch of people jumped from their low end XLT builds to XL. With pricing structured the way it his, I expect a lot of people with high end XLT builds will jump to the Lariat. Get ready for Lariats to become...

Required a $795 dealer installed security package, but no other markups. MSRP, plus the addon, plus around $325 for doc fee and miscellaneous other fees.
