Another one bites the dust. Couldn't get any verifiable information about my order, so I killed it. Just bought an angry gorilla of a V8 Ram Rebel and am just keeping my 2-door manual JK.

Stop back and show us the gorilla when you get it!

I'm doing my best to keep high hopes and low expectations. A September delivery would be nice though.

I just got my window sticker. The truck should be in a vehicle yard near Ft. Worth or on a truck to the dealer or has just arrived. I have no way of telling. I was hoping to get it this weekend but they need to put on the lift when they get it.

Well, let me complete what I'm now deeming the "Troutman" and share yesterday's purchase. (A "Troutman", for those wondering, is posting a pic of an auto on this thread due to the inability of FCA to complete our orders in a timely manner, among other things)

New wheels/tires, lift, tonneau cover, etc will be installed soon.

Sorry boys (and girls), but this vehicle is badass, manual or automatic. Blows my JKUR out of the water. I got yelled at (questioned) three times in traffic jams headed home from suburban Detroit.

Looks great! Glad you like it Thorny.

It's ok to pull a Troutman, we've had a ton of back forth and round and round in here. Nice to see you having a good time with it... finally.

That silver does look sharp.

You people are week and lack patience and discipline. I AM DISSAPPOINT SON!

Chadnutz, I hear ya, trust me! In February, bring your MT to my house and you can pull my two-place snowmobile trailer up north on I75 while maintaining 70-75MPH, with a head wind in 5th or 6th gear. If it can do that, I'll gladly sell the AT and order another MT. I cant risk it, knowing how my 2015 JKUR 6-speed towed. For this amount of money, it needs to check off as many boxes as possible, towing is a requirement.

Hey @Thorn-Engineering glad to hear that you like your truck, just a little bit. I get a silver truck with a stick shifter.

So I pulled a Troutman as well. Though I went a different direction on the Auto front. Bought a Porsche Macan... Sorry FCA not getting my money today. Am keeping the old TJ for rocky mountain play time though...

FCAs ability to internally share information and effectively communicate it to customers is off the charts (sarcasm). I wonder if my order was cancelled. I know my dealer didnt want a M/T on the lot. Regardless, i'd still be waiting, but i'm NOT!

Hey now, I have a high level of patience and discipline. I just have a low tolerance for poor treatment when I'm spending $53,000 on something.

I drew a line this week, and they met it (coincidence or not being irrelevant). I'm currently pacified. I was in I a couple days ago. Let it drag in JB and/or KZ and the devil will come out again.

That said, I expect 6 weeks minimum from actual build start to receipt, maybe as much as 10. That clock started Wednesday. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised with it being shorter though.
