Might, since they're still making MY22 until November.

sidenote VIN has the model year in it. They put the VIN in a lot of places (engine, hidden in the body a place or two) plus the dashboard. I don't think they'll try anything funny with those.

I think it is possible. I'm sure the VIN year must be correlated to the major assembly. If they have to install a module later they do not change the VIN.

Also remember there are parking lots full of F-150s that are missing modules.
