Why would you even consider keeping the 2023? It's objectively the worse vehicle, given it is missing features and costs more...
You could flip the 2023, but it's up to you if it's worth it. If you think you can sell it, go through the process unless the dealer makes you sign a no sell agreement. Personally I wouldn't bother and would just refuse delivery, especially since if it was just built you'll likely miss the tax credit.

Just walk away from the 2023 and enjoy the truck you have. The '23s are coming with missing features and no one is paying premiums for these trucks on the used market now.
I attempted to do the same as you. My 2023 order was on chip hold and then I was told the hold was indefinite and would probably last a while, no ETA and all that. I bought a '22 off the lot, configured just how I wanted it. Or so I thought. It's a dealer mannequin and they won't let me have it so now I'm having to go through all the process of canceling the sale, which is already void since I never took possession. We're just trying to keep an uncooperative and shady dealer on task to fully releasing the deal and returning the down-payment. So yeah, ugh... On the bright side, my 2023 got built and shipped now and should be here soon. ...Deleted features and all at a higher MSRP. I'd much rather have that '22 I tried to buy, but "eff" that dealership and the lying salesman who have now misrepresented the deal to both Ford and my lender. My lender got it figured out though and pulled the funding, terminating the sale.

You can buy and flip, but you can't take thr tax credit. Doubtful you would even breakeven.

I don't see the dilemma here. Why would you pay more, for less options, all while possibly taking a loss on the truck you're driving because the used market is sinking?

If he takes delivery of the new truck and 2 hours after he is off the lot decides he hates it. I am sure the IRS would have a hell of a time proving he bought it with the intent to sell it.
Err well unless they read this forum then he is going to get a royal IRS reaming.

Correct.
One has to also take into account that there is a big difference between making a mistake on your taxes and committing tax fraud. When you do your taxes, you either read instructions and complete forms, use software, or use a tax professional. Make sure you understand the repercussions for any action you take later deemed improper.

Thanks for the input, I think I was blinded by the fact I like the color I originally ordered more than what I have now lol
Theoretically though, if I’m getting an 88k truck for 80k, not applying for tax credits or anything, and I have a buyer lined up for 98k, and I pay all the appropriate taxes, why would it be a problem?

If color is the issue, just wrap it.

If you have a sucker, I mean buyer, willing to pay you $98k for a used Lariat that they can't claim the tax credit on, hurry up and sell it to them before they come to their senses. Then buy the "23.
