So they pulled the trigger on my order on Tuesday and I contacted my salesman yesterday (Wed) and he was already able to shoot me paperwork with a VIN and VON. Taking a cursory glance at the previous posts in this thread leads me to believe that I got that relatively fast...

Order info: Rubicon, Granite Crystal Met. Clear Coat, M/T, LEDs, Towing, Bedliner, Cold Weather, 8.4" Screen, Safety, Tonneau, Cargo

That’s normal to get that info in a day. Now the wait begins. Hopefully they start building manuals soon and you won’t have to wait as long as others have.

@JeepCares Could you look into the production of Manual Transmissions and maybe give us an update when they plan on starting to produce? Many of us have been in D status for quite some time many over 30 days.

Thanks!

And so the uplifting hope I experienced upon thinking it may be a sign of a production speed-up is dashed...

How do you know for sure?
I just chatted with a FCA Rep. Hope this is true.

Ordered: Sport S, 18 May
Billet Silver Metallic
6-Speed Manual Transmission
Options: Tow Package, Premium Soft Top, Alpine Stero, Cold Weather Group
VON: 43858575, 22 May
ETA N/A Status: Pre-production (D1) 005 days in this status
Thank you for your patience as I have found your vehicle. At this time there is not an ETA on your vehicle. I have found a status under your vehicle at this time your status is as following: All of the materials needed to start the build process have been received. The vehicle should be entering the build process very soon. Please be advised you can be in this status up to 30 days I would advise checking back next week to see if an update has been made.

That’s hardly a sure thing. All of the other canned chat responses about D1 are worded differently and have a delivery date. I do hope it’s true though and some of ours are soon to follow.

Checked on my status w/Mathew over chat (see below), its a Friday morning ritual for me, no new update.

The Gladiator is currently in the pre-production stage which means that it is waiting for all of the parts to be gathered so that it can enter into the build process. At this time I do not have an estimate for when the build will begin. I would suggest allowing a week to pass then contact us back for an update, but we are available 24/7 if you do want to contact back sooner.

Ordered 5/1
D status for 32 days as of 6/14

I went for the Silver because I did not want to wait for the Sting Gray, what a waste of time.

I didn't know of the delays at the time I ordered. I tossed and turned about the granite, balck, and silver. The program was forcing the dealer to add the bed liner to the granite and black which also advised a 20 a day extension I opted for the Silver.
