I have been able to confirm that my H3 has been pulled from being shipped for several weeks now due to QC concerns at the factory....we do not know when it will be shipped. So, my dealer has agreed to let me re-order the truck and now I can get my side curtain airbags. Also am going to get the brush guard now as I learned that it is too expensive to ask the dealer to add it later...best to get it from the factory.
H3 Builder....any idea what would have held it up? I am not mad, it is probably a blessing in disguise as I really wanted the side curtain airbags.
Now that I have seen the grey...not sure I will stoick with it as it is not the same color as they had at the NY Car show. So, what color should I get?

I was told by our local dealer that it took them almost 3 hours to do their first brush guard as it involved taking off a lot of the front end.

most of the time they do not even have VIN's and are MFG trucks. They are showed all over, and then sold off at an auction if ever. People buy them though, and do some swapping because you cannot legally put a MFG car on the road.

I am getting mine from Erin at Sewell, and I have a guy that is flying from KY to TX to pick it up Thursday then driving it to me here in Scottsdale. I bought one that was coming in for stock unsold, and it is SUPPOSED to be here any day. I am sure I will go crazy the longer it takes to get in!

funpilot, could you tell how the grey was not what you expected? How was it different from the one at the car show? We have also ordered a grey one, but not seen one in person.

Mine was confirmed to be built as of Wed. And then the dealer called and told me mine was shipped on Thursday. Is this possible that it can be shipped out the very next day???? The dealer sais it can be two to three weeks to get here now. i was told by the dealer that the minor QC issue had to do with the front windshield frame and has already been fixed. They had a run of them and have already fixed/ repalced them and sent the trucks on their way.
Builder, can you confirm this?

The grey is metalic and looks different in different lighting, I think it looks great, but I also saw the green with the adventure package, and it looked dam good, alittle army but very cool. I am sticking with Grey w/ebony leather it changes color and I like that.

The one at the autoshow is no where near Boulder Grey. That color is silver or pewter, and in my opinion it looks a hundred times better than the Boulder Grey. I saw the Boulder Grey a bunch of times now, and it looks wayyyyyy darker. I wish they would have come out with all the H2 colors...  |

I finally got to see my boulder gray H3 and I think it looks AWESOME! The color is just what I expected (or at least what I had seen in pictures).. if you guys think that is different, you should probably see it under different light conditions.

We haven't changed the color and the show trucks were all built here. They may of jazzed them up abit, but like someone said before, the color looks different under different lighting situations.

If you're going to re-order and wait a couple of months, I'd say you should go for the blue, I will order that one if I have to re-order.

Same thing. When I first saw them I thought it was silver, but it is called boulder grey.
