I don’t know that there were any prevalent QC issues. You probably remember the AC hose leak - that seems fine now. Trailer hitches etc now getting delivered, and you can even add the wiring harness if it wasn’t in your config. Some units have been sitting on lot for a while so you’ll need to check the battery if you don’t do build-to-spec. Front drive shaft issues for those who did the Eibach lift (some of them) but that’s not much of a surprise - aftermarket solutions are showing up to address that. We’re all still fighting about whether the steering stabilizer needs to be swapped for an aftermarket option, whether it makes any difference etc. Some people absolutely losing it over steering pump noise and HVAC, but I honestly can’t tell if that’s real or just a question of expectations - if the Aussies aren’t talking about it but a bunch of Californians and Floridians think it’s the end of the world, maybe it’s them??? I honestly can’t tell - I have no doubt some units might have had real issues so be sure to look at that. And of course, we don’t yet have the ADAS SW patch or service manual. Soooo - that’s my view on the last year’s update. If you aren’t in a massive rush and don’t care about dealer incentives - you can just order your own config - but there is real risk you could be hit by whatever Trump does on tariffs. So losing a $5k dealer incentive and possibly a 10% tariff - a $14k spread vs on-lot inventory.
