Model Year 2024 - Production & Delivery Date
#41
Newer here but I am noticing many are ordering their defenders (as oppose to buying dealer inventory)…why? I have been looking at a range of trucks from 4Runner TRD pro to RIvian R1S to Ford Raptor to Broncos etc. Their are more Defenders in inventories (at least in California) than any of the other vehicles I am considering so curious what is driving placing an order? Are there common options that most want that you only really get by ordering?

Looks like the signature DRLs and the Adaptive Cruise are now standard on all models in the USA.
I'm not seeing any of the "Packs" with the extended wheel arches, roof rack, lunchbox, etc. I guess you'll need to order those as dealer installaed accessories now.
Anyone have an idea when they'll change over the builds? I have a 2023.5 110S with a May build date on order, and a similar speccded 2024 is $4k cheaper.

What? I have a factory spec (not my spec) with my name on it, and the adaptive cruise is an option on the build sheet. It is being built now and should arrive early June. I don’t know anything about the DRLs. You are looking at 24s somehow? Can you share where? I don’t want to wind up with a 23.5 with the 24 to come around the next month or two. I would rather wait for a 24 especially if with some additional standard hardware the price drops.

Thanks - that must have changed recently. I do see the adaptive cruise control standard now, but I also notice that some option packages no longer exist on the SE Dynamic - such as the interior convenience pack. Some of the options on my 23.5 build were fluff such as the interior protection pack, emergency pack, and black wheel protection pack which is no longer showing, but those are items I can buy on my own for less. But with the money saved, I can go for the full on towing pack instead of the dealer build which only had the air pack and the tow receiver. I may have to just order a 24 so I don’t get slammed with depreciation on a year older 23.5 which the whole world will see as a 23.
