My dealer emailed me Friday and said they don't think my order will be accepted for the '22 MY. So then I asked for my substantial deposit back and the salesman said they would pull the order from the system altogether if they sent it back and that it would go to bottom priority if they end up making a '23 model.

I don't think there's much chance at all there will be a '23 GT500, way too many moving parts to execute an additional MY in less than a 12-month period of time. Two different posters on here who are highly credible so no way there's a '23, I believe them and feel the salesman is giving me a line of BS. Thoughts?

s550 & s650 would never be produced side by side.
‘23 s550 production starts mid November, the s650 is scheduled to debut as ‘24 model which would likely start production Nov ’23. The question of a ‘23 GT500 is unlikely based on several factors that many have discussed & no one has confirmed (reliably) otherwise.

There's no program in place for dealer participation towards a '23 GT500 allocation(s). The 2020 MY program was for that year only and 2021/2022 was combined with a single fee.

Predator engine production will be geared towards the '23 Raptor (so optioned) only from what I understand.

2022 GT500 is already constrained enough such that original production targets have likely been adjusted due to chip shortages, etc.

No 2023s.
my dealer has mine and another customer's GT500 waiting to be approved by Ford. He said it'll most likely be a 23 model as well. If what he said is false, then I will be shopping for a different brand all together.

I’m going with a C8. My GT350R is awesome, but it is a bit brutal.

I don't think your dealer knows what he is talking about. Assuming you're talking to a salesman.

I was going to reiterate that point just as Nick did. In order for there to be an allocation there has to be a program in place and the dealer has to participate. There is no '23 GT500 program in place.

Here were the previous enrollment programs...

So go ahead and ask your dealer for a copy of the enrollment program for a "2023 GT500." It doesn't exist. A dealer leading you to believe otherwise at this point is rather insulting.

Pull the order?
I’d get the deposit back once they close the ‘22 production if your order isn’t allocated.
If they really would do a ‘23MY program an honorable dealer would give you their ‘23 allocation.
I hope you get the ‘22 order man.
