  The triplet vector boson (TVB) is a simplified new physics model involving
massive vector bosons transforming as a weak triplet vector. Such a model has
been proposed as a combined explanation of the anomalous $b \to s\mu^+\mu^-$
and $b \to c \tau\bar{\nu}_\tau$ data (the so-called $B$ meson anomalies). In
this work, we carry out an updated view of the TVB model by incorporating the
most recent 2022 and 2023 LHCb measurements on the lepton flavor universality
ratios $R(D^{(\ast)}) = {\rm BR}(B \to D^{(\ast)}\tau \bar{\nu}_\tau)/{\rm
BR}(B \to D^{(\ast)}\ell^\prime \bar{\nu}_{\ell^\prime})$, $R(\Lambda_c) = {\rm
BR}(\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c\tau\bar{\nu}_\tau)/{\rm BR}(\Lambda_b \to
\Lambda_c\mu\bar{\nu}_\mu)$, and $R_{K^{(\ast)}} = {\rm BR}(B \to
K^{(\ast)}\mu^+\mu^-)/{\rm BR}(B \to K^{(\ast)}e^+e^-)$. We perform a global
fit to explore the allowed parameter space by the new data and all relevant
low-energy flavor observables. Our results are confronted with the recent
high-mass dilepton searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We find that
for a heavy TVB mass of 1 TeV a common explanation of the $B$ meson anomalies
is possible for all data with the recent LHCb measurements on $R(D^{(\ast)})$,
in consistency with LHC constraints. However, this framework is in strong
tension with LHC bounds when one considers all data along with the world
average values (BABAR, Belle, and LHCb) on $R(D^{(\ast)})$. Future measurements
will be required in order to clarify such a situation. In the end, the
implications of our phenomenological analysis of the TVB model to some known
flavor parametrizations are also discussed.
