Jesse, in a business it's hard to be the one who takes a gamble on future products. Yea, they knew the 2.0T and the T5M were coming, but with lead time and no idea of what the demand would be, it may be better to hold back and look at backorders than to order let's say...$25,000 worth of product, do the run, have it ready by the time the truck drops....
Then watch the class surge for a month and then die. It's a gamble sure, but I would
assume you would want to gauge the need first, then up production.
Look at proline! They don't even offer much for a stadium truck...
