So I "Stretched" on the LBZ
First, the LLY option is “Still” on the web under “Engine” for $5,310.00 however, if you look down further to the “Heavy Duty Power Pack” option, the LBZ is listed “with” the Allison 6-Speed for $6,805.00… And… if you select the LBZ you get a $500.00 “HD Power Pack Savings” labeled “1SZ”. So… the difference is about $1,000.00 (MSRP) And, Yes, you’ll have to wait.
As far as “Is the LBZ better?” I don’t know… Mine won’t be here ‘til November.
And… I (still) won’t pay MSRP… I told my dealer I want the employee pricing “Anyway”, and he said “Okay”… The “Employee Price” is “Invoice”… They just don’t want you to know that.
