So are the missing chips in question only in the high tech gizmo loaded upper trims or also in the more simplistic XLs as well?

My hope is the XL is not as affected and that my order will get jumped ahead.

The dealers must be getting desperate for some kind of inventory. Got a hand written letter from a salesman wanting to buy my truck for "more then it's worth" 🙂

It's my understanding the newer high tech SYNC 3/4 type stuff is not effected. It's the "old school" stuff like ABS and ignition controllers that are in short supply. That architecture has not changed much in years, needing to remain rugged and simple. But the machines and tooling to make those chips have become scarce as the markets for that kind of stuff shrinks.
