I’m hoping they will get around to updating this list to include 2023 Fords purchased in 2022. Other manufacturers have MY23 vehicles listed. I don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t be eligible but I’d be a lot more comfortable to see 2023 MME on that list!
I turned mine into a truck by putting a small piece of tape sticking up proud of the rear bumper, it's a tiny bed, only an inch long, but it's now objectively a truck by the same metrics. F150 weight, check, bed, check. I win.
It doesn’t have to be on the list for it to qualify in 2022. It just needs to be built in North America.
If you claim it, you're simply committing tax fraud. Sure, you could argue you didn't know, and they might just charge you a penalty and interest. But, since you debated it on a forum where you setup your name as your user name, the trail is easy enough for a 5th grader to find...

You lost me at “argue” and “IRS”… seems like a bad planNOT A TAX PRO HERE... But... I say claim it anyways and let them argue it if it comes down in an audit. Hopefully they don't require a VIN or some sort of automated disqualifier. The sticker says it's a "Small SUV" in terms of EPA rating so that could be your argument. Talk to a tax PRO. The below is from my 2023 sticker.
