Has anyone's order been held up by the manual rear window?

[ranger750]

I've been debating on whether I should get the rear window on the Maverick (I'll be ordering the XLT with 4k, FX4, and CP360). On the one hand it does have some functionality if you want to put long stuff like wood through it, or drive on the highway with the windows down. Also, every pickup truck I've ever driven had a rear window, so it just seems weird to not have it.

On the other hand, I don't think it's really going to prevent me from figuring out some other way to secure long objects in the bed, and I've never particularly liked driving with the windows down at high speeds anyway. Still, I would prefer to have it, especially because it's one of those things that you can't really add after the fact.

Because of all that, the tipping point for me is the question of how likely it is that I'll have to wait significantly longer because I ordered that option. I couldn't find anyone saying that this of all things was what held theirs up, and I imagine it's much more likely that I'll have to wait for CP360 because of all the electronic components I assume must go into that, but to me that is worth waiting for. A tiny little window that probably won't get a whole lot of use, not so much.

I believe you answered your own question. Not likely. However, who would have thought that mud guards could become a 4% constraint. Constraints on minor stuff seems to change more readily than the module/chip components which are just staying constrained. I would order it and if it became a constraint, drop it at that time. My two cents worth!!
