I just ordered a Blue 2017 last weekend. I debated on the 2016 but I am going to be towing a trailer during hunting season. From the pictures I have seen of the 2017's they also have a stronger / reinforced 2" receiver. Plus here in Alaska my dealer was only offering $700 off MSRP for the 16's so that sealed the deal. Now the wait...I was told my 17 wont be in until May 22nd. It must be taking the slow boat
