Apparently my post disagreeing with the OP was deleted. My post was not the only post on this thread deleted. Perhaps we have an Oliver Darcy situation.

So OP did you contact the moderators or did the moderators just suddenly decide to start censoring post that disagreed with unconfirmed speculations on government orders that where off by 53'000 orders to begin with?

I'm curious as to why as well, I saw your earlier posts.

It stands for substituting a $1,395 MSRP line item in place of a part with a $295 MSRP that's worked well for 9 decades.

If I was ordering a JT I would be more concerned with an upcoming union strike.

If that gets prolonged it could set the whole MY back to 2020.

Figure production starts April/May runs until August the latest. Maybe 3K units a month a total run of maybe 10-12K for the model year..minus 7K for uncle sam.

The initial production of the Gladiator is a 2020 MY. Also a previous post on JL forums said they can run nearly 900 JL's a day on the line. Since the JT is on a nearly identical line I'd suspect once fully running they could cover a similar capacity barring supply chain issues. Even at 500 trucks a day capacity and model year changeover starting in May 2020 we could see upwards of 180,000 2020 JT's if we avoid strikes and other planned shutdowns.

I just submitted a FOIA request concerning the supposed purchase of the Jeep Gladiator. I will let you know the outcome as soon as I hear back.

What agency did you submit the FOIA request to? Aren’t there a couple hundred agencies that buy vehicles for various reasons?

I sent them right to Trump. He keeps blowing my phone up with text message. I also think he gave my number out to Lindsey Graham without asking. I figured I'd repay him

There is a FOIA department to help facilitate request. I also sent them a copy.

(no I did not sent a text to Trump)

The only info regarding that supposed purchase is contained within this forum, without some corroborating evidence, it's just a bad rumor

Good Job, that should answer the mail. My guess is you will get a negative response
