Default Extended Leather Upgrade with Khaki for MY 2023?

My dealer says no beuno for Extended Leather with Khaki for MY 2023?
I'm forced to go with Windsor to get Extended Leather which means adding "Premium Upgrade Interior Pack"!

Can anybody confirm the US configurator allows for this but Land Rover HQ will not?

@TouringDad - I wouldn't really trust the configurator these days. In fact, I think I saw a large disclaimer when I started using the Configurator last time. The problem is that we live in historic times and the supply chain (whether for real or blamed on) is causing JLR to send out vehicles with incredible numbers of options, features, etc. missing or they will rapidly pull things off the manufacture list & re add them at random. The software lifecycle for the Customer facing apps seems to be way slower than their manufacturing systems. The tools that the Dealer uses are much more current so if they are telling you "no go", they aren't pulling your leg. I can assure you they want to sell as many options as they can and make you as happy as possible, but it is the underlying manufacturing that is driving it. On top of that they have other disclaimers that even if you order it, all bets are off. 1/2 the time I want to flame JLR for being terrible with customer service in their choices and the other 1/2 I have sympathy for their manufacturing issues. But in this case, I think the Dealer is likely correct.

Thanks both, yes the US Configurator allows one thing and the dealer is saying another. My spidey sense says the dealer was BS'ing because it bumped the build ~$3k when you include Premium, arrg! But with no way of knowing I'll just proceed.

On the other hand, the Windsor leather is better for sure, and of course I'll get memory and vented seats, so all good.
