I understand that the "wait and see" attitude is also correct, but I am fed up with the gas problem with the pitiful consumption (14 to 12 MPG) on the 24 Trailhunter.
Good luck to all

I will scream this back at you. I adventure. I need gas so I can adventure further without gas anxiety. I will gladly, gleefully, pay the $2000, plus install.

I drive 150+ miles a day for work, so needless to say, I burn through gas quick. I just emailed this place since I live in CO. If I get relevant info back from them, I'll share it here.

Looks like I might make this purchase once deliveries begin.

I ordered my tank almost a month ago. This is new information. Thanks for posting Joe's reply. The June timing creates a problem for me.

Interesting. I feel like a larger replacement tank would be better than an aux tank... though not exactly much room to extend the existing tank. Meh, I'll stick to my jerry cans. My only gripe is you have to be careful not to overfill the tank and ruin the evap system. 1 jerry can is about 1.5 bars on the digital/screen fuel display.

nothing heard.
I have not been informed by the company, they did say 10 weeks and I think it has not been that long but I have not been counting

I checked the site again today. I don’t remember if it always said Aug but that’s what I see now. I’d love to be an early adopter but I’ve been saving for a custom vinyl wrap.

When I ordered in March delivery was June. A few weeks ago it extended to July. When I checked 2 days ago, it was August delivery. It doesn't matter too much to me. I'm on my summer adventure and won't be home for awhile.

I really could use that tank right now.

I have no plans to order until it's officially in production and being delivered.
