It was my understanding that the 2023's were being built into November. So if you ordered a 2024 you wont see it until the end of Dec or later. If i ordered a 2024 I wouldn't take anything off it.
I have a 23 with the tow package. I will most likely never tow anything. But you get a lot of bang for your buck.
The increased cooling and gears are a great up grade and I don't think you could add that stuff on your own for the $745.00Ford charges.
I don't think not having the ACC is a big deal. I like driving so I doubt i would have every used it. I rarely even use cruse control.
I did get the co pilot 360 with lane centering which I don't use either
I have PPl on my 2020 Shelby and its great. I don't think many shops who use the 3m product anymore . It It tends to yellow as it gets older. I only did the front clip and it really works.
