Order Issues

[dwfoley]

Looking to "upgrade" my 2014 Longhorn to a 2019 Longhorn. My order sheet is listed below. According to my dealer I have three issues.

1.) The Ivory/Brown Two-Tone paint late availability is a known issue - the scuttlebutt on this forum is that it will be avail maybe in March-April?
2.) Wanted to order the trailer tow package but not willing to give up 360 degree camera to do it so i will settle for a trailer brake controller for now and figure out the mirror situation later.
3.) Off-Road Group Unavailable?? This one has me stumped. The dealer said it's unavailable w/ the other items I have configured? Anybody else hearing this?

FWIW - the new trucks look pretty good - but I still like my 2014, same color white/gold with only 30k miles on it. The primary reason for the trade-up is I need the additional towing capacity of the 2019.

I tried to include Off-Road and was told it's because of the different transmission used with the Etorque and they don't have skid plates for it.

I seriously doubt there is a different tranny. Maybe there is something "bolted on" to the standard tranny? that could impede a skid plate..... I checked the window stickers for both Standard and E-Torque and both trucks have the same tranny listed: 8–Speed Automatic 8HP75 Transmission. OP- do you know exactly what the Offroad group includes?

It's the same transmission, just has different programming to support the E-Torque start/stop.
I would be willing to say it's the transfer case. The off-road package probably warrants the Part-Time version, the Longhorn trim level gets the Full-time version (Auto 4X4 button).
