It's worth your time to take the tour! I traded a Montana for my Solitude. I'm extremely satisfied

I've taken two tours of the factory. If you can arrange it, by all means do so. It will really give you a good feeling about how these things are built and how modern the factories are. You will also see that there is a very rigorous quality inspection before a unit leaves the factory. I spent 30 years running a missile manufacturing factory, and I will say that these guys know what they are doing.

We submitted a web form on GD website inquiring about factory tour. In 23 minutes after get the conformation that the form was received got a message from a human ask when we would like to go and if I would like to be there when a 321RL was being built. Not bad - I'm impressed since it was a Saturday morning.

We toured the factory with the group at the first Owners Rally in 2014. Well worth seeing and helps you understand how they're built.

Looks like we are going the 28th of June. Already making a list of questions to ask. There were dates before that but our calendar is full of June so those dates worked best for us. it's about 740 miles one way for us.
