2022 Lariat Lux package roll over to MY23 - Cost difference

[WvMountain]

I Ordered a Lariat MY22 on 09/03/2021 with Lux pkg, Co-pilot 360, and engine block heater - MSRP $30,955. The scheduled build date was 12/19/2022 so it rolled over to MY23. My dealer undated the order to Lariat Lux pkg, Co-pilot 360, D-Link Bed Connectors, and spray-in bed liner - MSRP $33,520.

I looked at the differences in the Lariat lux pkg and found that I still need to add the Co-pilot Assist pkg and remote start to get back to the features of the MY22 Lariat Lux Pkg. Now my MSRP is $34,512 for a $3,517 difference.

After waiting for more than a year for the vehicle, it seems like Ford should do something to keep the cost the same as what I ordered. I understand Ford added navigation to the Lux Pkg, but I use Android Auto for navigation.

If your dealer completed the 2022 to 2023 rollover correctly you should get a private offer from Ford (ie a rebate) for $1750 on a Ecoboost or $2750 on a Hybrid. That offsets some of the increased pricing.

I say "should get a private offer" because the rollover procedures seem to be beyond the ability of some dealer staff.

This transition from 2022 to 2023 has been a fustercluck.
