good choice other than purple and gold! My last four vehicles were white after the GT350 so I am going with Smoked Quartz if they ever make it!

 

Ordered the Truck, with Powerboost and the delivery time was no different. May!

 

To upgrade to the hybrid the price difference is negligible, compared to other hybrids. The price is pretty much the same for a 3.5L EB, 2kw onboard, and elocker vs a 3.5L PB.

67915 Plat 701 4x4 PB
67480 Plat 701 4x4 3.5 EB 2KW 3.55 elocker

0-60 times, plus about a 30% gain in MPG, yes please!

Edit: Got side tracked my 1/7 Platinum 4x4 701 PB with Trailer Tow went from week 2/1 to 3/1. I hope they just don't keep us on the hook for many months.

 

It was an extra $1300 from the 3.5L V6 Ecoboost. No brainer. I'm happy.

 

The MSRP increase is only part of the story, up here in Canada there is 2000 less rebate on the powerboost. Makes the upgrade a little more costly that just the MSRP increase.

Major Constraints right now are the interior work surface, and Max Trailer Tow.

Diesel engine is late availability. Powerboost is available.

 

It may be getting worse real soon.

Another delay

Ok, so hopefully since my build date was last week my truck is good, then in a month when I want to trade in my used they are desperate for inventory and give me good value! At least that will make up for having to wait forever and see my price increased since I started in Sept and my trade decrease steadily since then.

Hopefully the world gets to be free flowing again soon.

 

Geez.. My build date is Feb 22. Hope it doesn't delay it.

 

Mine is Feb 21st. Sunday? If I get bumped I guess it will get me till spring perhaps the salty roads will be over. That's the only positive way to look at it.
