I just bought my reservation. Woo hoo!

The Reservation No. is 7 digits and starts with a 5. I hope they didn't start with 0000001.

There are 3k reservations for the US and they are keen on filling them when the car is released in 2023. The UK gets their first, then AUS in 2022, the SA in early 2023 and then the US in Aug of2023. Those that have early reservations will have the advantage, but I have no clue. As the window for US, reservation holders and early hand-raisers will get to order at the same time. Like every manufacturer, those with a higher spec will probably get pushed to the front. You gotta start recouping the 100's of million dollars spent in getting the ball rolling.

Out of curiosity, what do you all plan on using this truck for?

Looks good. I am glad they are making it and hope it is successful.

I'm very happy with my L663, but more options down the line is a good thing.

As I mentioned before, the L663 is a great vehicle and it has been one of my favorite vehicles I own. I do plan on keeping the L663 and adding the Grenadier for more of an adventure vehicle. This includes a draw system, fridge, Alu-Cab roof conversion and etc. The addition of these things reduces the ability to use it to haul stuff around, throw muddy dogs in the back, a vacation that does not involve camping unless I want to take everything out after each trip. That will be all done with L663. Finally, my grand plan is when my son turns 18 in 15 years and graduates high school, he takes it on an adventure to see the world, maybe for a gap year. The nice part is my old A** will be close to retirement and maybe I will join him for some of it.

Here’s TFL’s “first look”.
It sounds like they’re going to cut off reservations soon, so if you think you might want one, now’s the time ($450 refundable).
US delivery in mid ‘23.
