Yes, April/May IMO. I venture to say that BS inventory is stacking up on dealer lots, and there aren't nearly as many customer orders vs a year ago. Last I checked, Granger had a dozen higher trim BS on their lot for sale. None of them had 360+, thus my order..
Yeah, as BS are becoming more plentiful on lots, the Granger savings is definitely mitigated, especially since there are still MY22s on lots that didn't have the price increase. The way I see it, I am getting a very modest savings over a similar 2022 BB, but a decent savings over a MY23. There is value in the later model year for resale. But I didn't really go with Granger just for the savings. I've read too much good information about them and the process. I don't mind using SWA points to fly to Des Moines and drive it back, kinda look forward to it actually.

Sounds like Badlands always takes longer, probably due to the electronic locker in the rear. Need more chips for the more advanced system.

Yes, historically, it has taken longer to get a Badlands compared to the others. Mine was 4 months last year compared to 2 or 3 for the others. Your mileage may vary!

I got moved to "In Production" on 2/16 and the window sticker has populated. Looks like the folks that ordered at the turn of the year are getting built on time.

As far as I have last heard, only Badlands are still on hold because of no front camera available.

Mine is on track too. Window sticker populated yesterday. Scheduled day now 2/23/23.

Looks like it is taking about a month now to received. I am expecting sometime in April to take delivery.

My BB was moved to "Built" today. Claims that the arrival window at Granger is March 15-March 21st, which sounds insane. If that's true, they are basically building BBs from order to delivery in 10 weeks. Now, I have seen the torment that comes with the shipping issues, I know what might lurk ahead.

If the deposit makes you hesitant to put a order in then it seems your not that serious about the purchase and the deposit did what it was intended to do.

Well, it appears that Hermosillo is trucking right along. Changed to "shipped" today, still showing arrival at Granger between 3/15 and 3/21. This is way faster than I expected.

Warning: be prepared for an unexpectedly great experience at Granger. This will severely limit any buying decisions from any place else from here on! :cool:

Not necessarily.

In my case, my hesitation was to not lock myself into it in the event one showed up close to me in shorter time than an order would take. For me, it worked out as one in the color I wanted came up about six hours from me.
