If I wasn't getting the hybrid, I would have to consider and compare the EB Lariat to the Santa Cruz. Price is one consideration, but so are amenities and resale. Anyway to much calculation, I am sticking with the hybrid.
I had ordered the Lariat hybrid with Side Rails and have dropped the rails, added the SIBL and cargo package. I remain hopeful but unconvinced that I won't get dropped into 2024 and then who knows what will be constrained.
