update: I decided to let ford buyback the ‘21. Brought it to a dealership that had a ‘23 37pp in avalanche and made the purchase. Ford sent them a closing package, I signed and was presented a check on the spot. Purchased the new ‘23 and drove home. I do miss the recaro’s, heated wheel, and lighted cup holders. I gained pro power and the powered tailgate, and the black interior suits my eye more than the blue. All in all I am happy with my decision, and satisfied with ford’s handling of the buyback. I wish it hadn’t come to that, but l am glad that it all worked out in the end.
