Perfect! Not that I would spend the money but I wonder if Ford Performance will ever come out with an electronic sway bar disconnect kit for non Badlands trim levels.
In due time I’m sure you’ll see anything and everything (at least on the after-market).. but like you I feel my money is better spent elsewhere

so 2022 did NOT have HOSS 3.0 correct?
Hoss 3.0 was an option last year if you wanted to add to your order, just add it with $2500 addition. It was offered say in fall of 2022. It was not standard on 2022 year but standard on 2023. However, maybe the Wildtraks won't be built for 2023. I heard from another dealer. I been waiting for my WT since Aug 2021.

called my dealer nearby and he has a wild track in the color I’m looking for.
I do want to make sure it’s the new model with the new suspension, is there a way of telling?
The car is not physically at the dealership so maybe is there a way to tell based on vin? Manufacturing date? Any other way?

Looking at the Fox shocks is the best way. If it's a 22 get a copy of the window sticker. If it's a 23 it is good to go.

Can you elaborate about what to look for the window sticker?
My problem is that the car is held at storage and not sure if I could really ask for those specific details. That’s why I was hoping for a manufacturing date or stuff like that, that might actually be easier to get.

On a 2022.5, HOSS 3.0 will explicitly be listed as an option in the bottom section for $2,515.

Picked mine up late last night! Rides tighter than my wife's 2023 Outer Banks.

As stated above, the 22.5 will list HOSS 3.0 as an option on the window sticker if it has it. The option is $2500+ so it should stand out. On a 23 it will not be listed as it became standard equipment.

I’m not located in the US so it isn’t working the same way. It’s actually hard to tell.

That is the sticker that represents the 23 model? If I see it it’s definitive to have HOSS3.0?

Yep the yellow mountain tops mean HOSS 3.0 equipped. You can see the difference between the sticker in that pic and the one under our forum names.

You can also easily see the fox shocks just looking underneath of the vehicle.

Stop being like the sales guys. If you go to ford website it explicitly explains the 23 Wildtrak trim upgrades. We’ve told you enough it won’t be on the sticker it’s stock standard. Check the steel plate and the axels you’ll see the fox shocks determining the hoss 3.0 upgrades guaranteed under its trim model. Don’t worry

I’d be more worried about the amount of rust we get from the plant. That shits concerning. Also weatherstripping gap on the front two panels of the hard top generally is scuffed from stock, check the hood to see if it’s easy to double lock, the interior to see if there is any significant damage like the wheel air bag warranty cracked etc. the truck has a lot of moving parts so generally there is a few wonky things even after a tester runs thru.

There is also the additional subwoofer right? Is it visibility located somewhere that you could spot it and know?
