Just got our build date April 16th

Dealer just called to let me know our order now has a build date. April 16th. We ordered it the 2nd week in Feb so I guess that is not bad. 350 Gas, P2, lighting package, Capri Blue, Almond leather with ventilation, wood steering wheel, running boards. I have been kicking around to changing the order to the 550. That would push the order back so I really don't want to wait. This truck is for the wife but I would not mind driving it more if it was the 550.

Sounds like a great truck. You should consider adding U09 leather dashboard (if available) and 443 heated steering wheel by special order!

Did you go with tone-on-tone (205) or tone-on-black (255) almond leather?

The 550 rocks, you should drive one if you haven't.

The MB Text dash would be nice but I do not want to delay the order any longer. I like the look of the wood steering wheel. I have the wood wheel in my SL and think it makes the inside more classy. I am not sure about the color combo in the almond. I was not aware that there was 2 choices. I will have to check into that. We never had a Blue car before. Hope this combo looks good.
