Looking for buying advice: buy now or wait for 2024.

I have a PCO expiring July 5th - does anyone know when the order pool opens for 2024s?

I haven't seen anything official yet, but if it follows last year, it would be mid July.

I think late July or later. Mine also expires then-I ordered now. Prices at just going to go up. Plus yolo, right?

Rolled to and from Richmond, VA yesterday with BlueCruise and gotta say, very happy I got the option.

Yeah kind of disappointing it wasn’t an option for awhile there, but I feel better knowing it was an added cost if it were even available. I had been thinking it was deleted like the HSW. I should have done more research. I didn’t even know ford had this technology when I bought my truck. I might have waited or looked into 22’s with it. Ah well most of my miles I’m going to put on my truck aren’t compatible roads. Awesome for you though!

Perhaps on the 24, the updated version that can change lanes will be available. They already have it on Lincoln.

I don't have blue cruise on my 2023 - didn't really care if it came with it or not. I like actually driving mine and the lane centering works pretty well. I didn't buy the Full Self Driving from Tesla either - to me it defeated all the fun driving a Tesla.

Buy this wheel weight. Hang it off the left side, works pretty damn good. I commute the same 50 miles interstate often so I use it on there. It will occasionally alert but you just adjust it. Passing semi trucks I always keep a hand on the wheel even when I tested blue cruise out because it likes to put you to close to them.

The updated Bluecruise has a feature that will move you away from vehicles that are too close to you while still keeping you in the lane.

That's smart, can't believe they didn't start with that. Tried to get BC with my '23 but it wasn't available. Figure i'll trade in a couple years so i'll get it then.

I have the same issue rn. I'm expecting my 2023 tremor to be ready for pick up by end of July, but now that the spy photos and some speculation on the new interior with the 2024 model are out I'm hesitant to complete the purchase. I think it should be announced in July or latest by august for the 2024 face lift. I don't want to buy the 2023 model when the 2024 model is released I will be frustrated, however I don't want to wait until mid 2024 to ge my truck. so its a huge dilemma here. any thoughts ??

Personally I would take the 23 you have on order. This line of thinking is why people lease rather than buy, they always have to have the newest thing. If that is you then you I guess you should wait for the 24 and get on a lease year lease cycle to line up with Fords 3 year refresh cycle, but it is hard to order exactly what you want these days and time that cycle right since custom orders can take 3-12 months. Back when it was a standard 8-12 weeks it was different.

How often do you get a new truck?

after looking at all the advice on here I placed an order for a 23. A couple of whys - I don’t think 24 will have meaningful positive changes (I like the way it looks already), and there is a danger of of getting negative changes (Raptors lost the default torsen afaik, promised part reduction a big unknown in the first year). Wait was another factor for me personally.

If I am wrong and the 24+ turns out a big positive update I will wait a few years for ford to work kinks out and upgrade than.

I try to hold on 5-7 years, more towards 7 than 5 years.

Trucks are starting to pile up on dealer lots. My dealer shows 170, 5 of the Tremors. It's getting near end of model year. You may able to get a deal on a 23.

I have a 23 401a with 5.0 in anti matter blue coming in early July hopefully, personally I wouldn't want the 24, it usually takes a year or so for me come around and start to like the updates or changes that have been made, I was originally going to get a superduty tremor but can't stand all the changes they made so far besides the interior for 23

 

[808 Tremor]

Hello all. Have been thinking about getting a Tremor for a while, getting ready to pull the trigger.
I am on the fence about ordering one now, or waiting until 2024 orders open up.

Main reason to wait for 2024 is that my guess is Bluecruise 1.2 will be available.
Main reason to buy now is that 2024 is likely to have a price bump and Tremor 402a (I want that locking transfer case!) is already $$. (and of course waiting....)

My goals for the Tremor - replace my aging 07 4runner daily driver (pushing 200k, a lot of off-road use).
I plan to build it out into a off-road camping setup. After analyzing what is on the market today Tremor has come out on top.

That's a tough one. Like others said, prices are just going up and the interest is unpredictable. Then again if paying cash, that part won't matter. Order time lines on arriving seems like a toss up too. If inventory is indeed building up on Dealer lots, maybe you can find a good deal on one later in the year but that would be a gamble. I feel if you find some thing you like, jump on it.

I am looking for a first vehicle for my son that just got his license last year. Something Preowned of course but somewhat reliable. Can't really find anything decent here. Very high prices for vehicles that to me, aren't worth anything close to what they are asking. I came across this article. I think he hit the nail on the head. He talks about new vehicles too.

'23s are being discoutned now. I found one ever cheaper than preordering from Granger - on the lot! Amazing.

A couple of the dealers I have talked to say the '23 F-150 order banks will not close until sometime in Nov. Typically next model year order banks open about two months before the current model year order banks close. That would mean the '24 order banks should open sometime in Sept.
