@Holden4Life $2 million! Granted, I’m not intricately familiar with the planning, but are you sure it’s $2 million?

I can’t see that being a realistic number, even if you combine design, testing, and tooling expenditures just for a set of lights. However, it’s possible that the light changes also necessitated changes to the sheetmetal and electrical subsystems, thus requiring changes to stamping of the tailgates, working with suppliers to procure the new lights and electrical kits, etc. Maybe then it would have been $2 million… Hmmmm.
