I got the official email this morning about the hard top debacle and had come to terms with the fact that I would not be getting my 2door Black Diamond 2.3 manual any time soon since I did not have a VIN or anything. I texted my guy at the dealership where I had my order to discuss options such as going to a soft top 4 door. He told me he wanted to talk to me about it. I called him after a while (I had a meeting at work), and he told me that someone declined their Black Diamond that had just arrived. It was the same as my order except it had the tow package and was Iconic Silver as opposed to the Cactus Gray I had on order, but I could buy it today. Of course there was a markup, which made me think twice, but luckily my 2019 Tacoma with only 16k miles was worth enough over what I owed on it to make it worth it for me. I still paid more than what I would have if I would have waited for my order, but who knows when I would have gotten that order, or what my Tacoma would be worth then. Plus Iā€™d be making payments on the Tacoma while I waited. So, Iā€™m stoked! Ford will replace the top later, and the only thing I compromised on was the color, but the silver was in my top three choices anyway, so no regrets there. I drove it around and Iā€™m very happy with it. Very lucky to be out of purgatory. Iā€™ll post some pictures and a review once Iā€™ve driven it enough to have a better feel for it, and Iā€™m down from my Bronco high.

So it's a 2 door or a 4 door?

Sounds like the right choice! Silver looks great with the wheels and top.

I wasnā€™t even considering silver (mainly because my Jetta Wagon that I drove for the last 10 years was Reflex Silver) - but, I have a similar story as yours and now really like the color. Itā€™s got more depth in person than I expected and a nice canvas for customization.

My reservation is currently 99ā€™d to see what happens over the next two model years.

Congrats! Have fun with it! The MT is a blast.

Nice. Almost the exact same thing happened to me. Got the letter informing me I would be a 2022 For my 2dr BL. I called my dealer to ask about a 2018 4Runner they had on their lot to buy as a gap vehicle, and he said he was just going to call me. A 4dr Big Bend with a soft top was available after the order was abandoned. Iā€™ll keep it until my 2dr comes in next year, then trade it in I have 33ā€™s (Toyo AT IIIā€™s) and a 1ā€ level set up for it.
Nice Friday 13th indeed.
