Mine says the same thing. Curious to know what that means...

Just checked and it is 5N6 I also edited my original post to reflect that. Sorry for any confusion.

I keep reading that with a MT the tow capacity is decreased. How much?

Depends on trim, but the manual is either 4,000 or 4,500 where as the auto is rated to 7,650 with a sport max tow. A auto Rubicon is 7,000

Search the forum for a thread titled “2020 jeep gladiator specifications sheet & feature availability”. All the info you want and more is in the first post.

Thanks I should be good, my boat is only 3500 with a full tank of gas. I'll look it up anyway just for the knowledge.

Well this is a crazy thread to come up on. I was going to wait to put in my order on an manual until the gobi comes out, but maybe I should do it now and it i'll be ready by this fall?
This was my thought process. Originally, I'd planned to wait until manuals showed up on the lot, but given that there's no timeframe I figured one of two scenarios might play out:

1) If enough people place orders for manual, they'll have a sufficiently large batch to start moving them through production in which case I might as well get my order in or, more likely:
2) They'll continue to trickle out, in which case I should get my order in so as to not be too far down the list when they do start arriving.

Which is why I placed an order last week.

My order sheet says 5N6 Easy Order
Unrelated to the above, my sheet also says 5N6 Easy Order, whatever that means.

Just to confirm. Has anyone taken delivery on a MT yet? Have they even manufactured one yet? This is one of the reasons why I didn’t want to order an MT. My wife wanted a rubicon JL MT. We had to order it because they only had one MT but it was a 4 dr Sahara. So we order from the dealer. He says 4-6 weeks. 12 weeks later it arrives. The truck is awesome and we love it but 12 weeks to build a rubicon MT? You can have a bmw m4 custom built in Germany and shipped to the states less time than that. Oh well I vented for the day. Stuck in D status until the end of summer probably

nobody has taken delivery that is a member on this site. there are a few manual transmission ones that were used by the Jeep team for marketing and car reviews and such. We are getting close to someone getting one on this site. I can feel it in the force.

I just placed an order for a sport MT this past Monday. Salesman said 6-8 weeks but has seen a gladiator rubicon arrive in 4 weeks. I’m not holding my breathe for anything before September.

My salesman said 4-6 weeks. I ordered mine 5/28. I know mine is not coming in 4-6 weeks. More like 10-12 weeks

I was told 6-8, but yes, I'll take the over on that.

I don't want to burst any bubbles yet but it states "in transit". Prior to ordering mine I searched Auto Trader for a manual I found several "false positives" were the dealer failed to enter the information properly. I assume they just click the trim level and leave the default settings as is. So given the manual is the "standard" option it shows as such. My guess once that truck makes delivery it would be updated to show all options which likely include an automatic transmission.
