If I bail should I keep order, buy and flip it?

Holy crap, I HOPE you are being sarcastic. Ford has something like 3 years supply of F150's right now almost everywhere. Trucks are imploding and that is a HUGE problem for automakers since the americans have all-but abandoned small and mid-sized cars. And electrics are NOT going to save them.

The F-150 sold 750,000 units last year; far surpassing the Silverado/Sierra (combined) and Ram; yet trucks are still the number 1,2,3 best selling vehicles in the U.S. The backload of F-150s is well known because of the covid chip shortage, which also affected every vehicle manufacturer in the world. It is also the best selling truck in the world. The Ranger is Australia's best selling vehicle overall. Ram is coming out with a rebirthed Dakota next year, and the Maverick is a runaway success for Ford. In short, Trucks are not imploding. And for Americans abandoning small/mid cars; the SUV (outside of trucks) has been the best selling segment of vehicles in this country for a generation. This is not new.

Not really being sarcastic. There may be deals more because of high interest rates scaring away some buyers and the fact that a loaded Lariat is at least $76K, though I'm seeing discounts of around $5K at local dealers. Both Ford and dealers want to move inventory, because it costs $ just sitting on a lot.
I do like my father's loaded F-150 XLT. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit in my smallish garage stalls in my 1955-vintage detached garage, or I might have considered one before deciding to try to find a RR allocation.
The contractors/skilled laborers I know have either an F-150 or similar large truck from other manufacturers. I don't think that will change anytime soon.
But I'm sure happy I decided on a RR for my needs.

I will say, the back seat is worthless. I wish they put the jump seats in from the 90s x cabs. So can you live with it? I dont have kids and I hate the back seat and i dont need it but with the trans tunnel running all the way back its best folded down.
