Anybody out there defer an order when the allocation became available, and if so what was the eventual outcome? Did you order with something more than you wanted or less, or just stick it out?

I deferred for Z51 last year. Ended up with an allocation the next month.

last year, I got an allocation and deferred mine from a 22 to a 23. i'm so glad I got the 23 because, Options were stealth interior, black exhaust tips and the 20 spoke wheels., which i selected. It was only 1k price increase for me, which was fine. After I got my 23, price jumped up even more. I'm glad to have bought it.

I'd offered on one of mine and literally two days later got an email that they were okay to be able to put my order in.

Looks like a few have, especially if something may have been on constraint and it was an option that was really wanted.

It's entirely up to your dealer. You need to ask them the question.

I've seen at least one post by someone who's dealer said if they deferred their order they'd go to the back of the line, so what Undy said above. Ask YOUR dealer what they'll do.

I got jumped over twice because I did not want Z51 - have it now and prefer the standard brake pads and all season tires.
