Agreed. I believe the first few (several?) allocations will come with a predesigned set of options with minimal variations according to my salesperson. It will probably follow the leaked table from a couple of weeks ago.

$170 for the coolbox is really fairly priced

I actually thought it would be stupid expensive but for $170 that's a good deal IMO.

Can you take the cool box out? If not that is a of space it takes up. During a day outing in the TX summer heat, I just threw two small freeze packs in my center cubby which left plenty of space for several drinks. The drinks I had in there were still cold several hours later and that included a few hours when we grabbed lunch and had a walk about while the GX was not running. It is a little more of a hassle, and less elegant, but after trying that, I don't think I would even want a cool box even of it was a no cost option.

Not sure. I know the regular center cubby is just a tad bit bigger. It can't be any deeper since that location is directly above the transmission.

They should include the ML audio for that price point of Luxury plus or Overtrail+, IMHO. But you can delete the moon roof to recoup that cost somewhat.

I think the Build site is wrong since the brochure listed ML audio is standard on Luxury+.

For $4000 more than the Luxury, the Luxury+ adds lots of "values" - like ML audio, Adaptive variable suspension, Digital mirror, Auto running board, coolbox, and Cool glass skyroof

I would get the poor people overtrail with no option except for maybe the wireless charger and moon-roof delete. $68575 seems like a good deal for what it is.

Hopefully this tanks the 200 series prices. I looked at a 2018 with 45k miles the other day and they wanted $72K for it. NOPE!

Default Disappointed on build options

The off-road options only available for Overtrail trim very disappointing, this should be available on every trim. I would love to see it in luxury trim, I would buy it.

the hidden price increase is if you want ML, Premium+ to Luxury adds very little for the big price jump and you have to add ML on top of that.

Prem+ to Lux costs $8k to get leather seats, front massage seats, rear window shade, 22 inch wheels (from 20') and puddle lights on side mirrors and the ability to option ML. You also have give up towing capacity for Lux from Prem+ from 8k lbs to 6.9k lbs.
That seems like a terrible value. I have the semi-aniline in our base '13 as it was an option back in the day, but no way would I pay $8k for it plus the massage and '22 inch wheels (actually I would prefer the '18s). -In fact it is more than $8k depending on the state you are in - in TX I think it is $8k*(1+0.0625) = $8.5k effective price. Heck no.
