Anybody demo'ed or taken delivery of one yet? Any thoughts?

I should be seeing a demo unit here in a few weeks, kind of interested to see what it's like.

I drove one at OAPT in March and it seemed like an option worth considering. I thought the hill hold feature in particular may be of benefit in some districts.

Demo'ed it today and liked it a lot. Sort of different than the feel that we are used to, but not in a bad way.

What's different? Is this a true automatic or standard with auto shift?

No torque converter, two hydraulic clutches. 7 forward gears. From the operator's standpoint it'll be the same as driving an automatic.

No "thump" feeling when putting it in gear, shifts are different. I just don't know how to explain it, overall feel was different. Smooth shifts for sure.
