Does every model year have to go through the OTB process for Lightnings first off the production line?

Yes. The more substantial the changes, the longer it takes to achieve.
I was going to @ you but you're pretty active on here figured you'd see it. It might not be a bad thing that I haven't been scheduled in the first couple weeks of production of MY23. (trying to feel better about not being scheduled yet lol)

But were there changes other than the MY on the window sticker? And price hikes?

All models now get Heated Seats standard (how Ford got 10 extra miles of range). Ford Mobile Charger is no longer included, is a seperate $500 add-on. No more AM radio. Currently no bed scales.

I like the way you think.

Thanks - I'd heard of those changes, but forgotten. Truly there is nothing there that should change an assembly line in any way other that an extra plug for the heated seat and maybe a different module without the AM tuner.

I'm not manufacturing guru, but if this "OK to Buy" takes more than building 3 trucks, I would be shaking my head.
