Dealer called me today and said they had an allocation with my name on it (I've been on their list for over a year now). I called and was shocked when they said it was for a 2017. Since they are charging MSRP (and will on every truck ordered) I deferred my spot to put myself in line for a 2018 instead. Can't see buying literally the last 2017 produced, since I already waited so long. Here's to hoping the 2018 gets the cruise control that stops you to 0 in traffic (the only thing I really want from the tech package).
Note: dealer is an recommended reputable dealer often mentioned on this forum, so I have no doubt that they actually were given an extra allocation for a 2017, so as it turns out ordering doesn't seem to be closed.
