After a couple of years of "thinking about it", I finally bought my dream truck!
I was thinking about custom ordering a 2023 Lariat, and had spent hours in the build tool configuring my perfect truck that met my creature comfort needs while staying in my budget. Then I happened to search local inventory for "similar matches", and I found a 2022 Platinum that had been sitting on the dealer's lot 233 days (thanks caredge.com for details on inventory). This truck checked all my boxes and then some! I got even more truck than I had been hoping for, and got a great deal.

Details:
2022 F150 4x4 Supercrew
145" Wheelbase
3.5L Powerboost Hybrid
Equipment Group 701A (Platinum High)
Platinum Black Appearance Pkg

I'm looking forward to getting a spray-in bed liner, and adding a tonneau cover. I'll welcome any suggestions/advice from this group.

Also looking forward to sharing experiences with the Hybrid system. My last vehicle was an Escape Hybrid, and it has been a solid vehicle since the day I got it from the factory.

Hi there. Great start with the spray-in liner and tonneau cover. Along the lines of protection, I would suggest good quality seat covers front and back, along with floor liners. It's amazing how quickly seats and floors get soiled and stained. I've had Weathertech and now have Rough Country in my new truck.

Just my two cents worth.
