Hey all!
Would love some help/feedback from the group because I'm having hard time making up my mind
I've been a huge fan of the Everglades model since it was revealed, but obviously it was (and still is) extremely limited that for the past 2+ years I couldn't get an order in or get my hands on one. In December of last year, I gave up trying to place an order and ended up going with a 2 door Big Bend with the 2.7 engine, SAS, mid package, with the modular bumper. Although I did pay a little bit of markup which I'm not proud of, but I really thought I got a great deal, given that it's a "maxed out" Big Bend. Anyways, couple of weeks ago, with the order banks opening, I saw the Everglades is making a very limited comeback so I called my dealer first thing on August 16th and told him I wanted an everglades. He said they only had allocations for 2 and advised me to send my order in ASAP which I did only for him to call on the 17th and tell me that by the time the ordering manager got to my order, the 2 allocations were already ordered. Sucks big time given that I personally know the guy but anyways, after calling around and sending many failed orders to dealers, on August 18th, one of them had one remaining allocation and the system allowed them place an order for a cactus Gray Everglades. I was extremely happy when I received the confirmation email but that started to change quickly as ppl started to make me me feel like I made the wrong call ordering an Everglades (my friends and ppl here on the forum) saying that it's not a good move to trade away a 2 door and to downgrade from a 2.7 twin turbo engine to a 2.3 ecoboost engine only for a 12" display, a winch, and a snorkel. Now I find myself lost and unsure if I should go with the Everglades as it sounds like I'm "downgrading". I know the process is just getting started and I have many months to think about it before getting scheduled for production but I thought why not get feedback from real Everglades owners to help me decide. Please let me know what your thoughts are!
