Wow talk about getting ripped off...so if inflation and gas prices aren't bad enough...you pay more to get less? Let's see...

  1. no rear folding headrest
  2. no glove box damper
  3. no PRNDS light
  4. no console cubby
  5. no hood damper
Did I miss anything?
No more bright trim rings on the 12v covers that matched the radio knobs.

Agree... I added the engine cover and would have certainly added the hood dampers if they were missing.

Maybe the Damper Moderator (Dave) had something to do with this? :bandit:
I had Ford remove them so I could run a package deal, hood struts and tailgate damper. This inflation is killing me! ?

Parking brake button changed from a nice chrome one to black plastic. Does the glove box still have a lock on the '22?

Also someone with a '22 needs to try a magnet test, but I have heard from a good source the aluminium front fenders are now steel. He claims the change was made sometime during the '21 model run.

Got my OEM hood struts coming Saturday.

Have already had to buy- cubby thing,hood struts,engine cover,rubber plugs for under the rocker panels,mudflaps. All of this should be on the truck when delivered or get discount off the price of these deleted items.
And all of this is before my truck is even built

Agreed. Would you happen to know the part numbers for the hood struts?
