i ordered a week ago today and its the same place its been 6 days ago it seems. Re features make sure you get what you want otherwise you cant change it. Im sure if you did you would be out the 1k you can look up my post and see what people were saying about the packages i wanted.
I'm not convinced you couldn't drive it home and flip it for a profit these days. Most dealerships would be fine taking your order and selling it but I don't know how much in person volume Gupton does.

Email Daniel, I don't anyone here would know.
Yeah I didn't really want to bother him unless I had to. I figured with the countless orders here surely someone has bought something else besides a Jeep from him.

Contact Daniel for sure but my buddy told me before he bought his RAM he saw Gupton mentioned on that forum.

I was looking to order a new Wrangler/Gladiator and came across Gupton. They offer 6% below invoice price with an additional 1% below invoice if you have an FCA Control Number. Just like Tri-City and Peterson they also offer an additional 1% below invoice if you secure your financing with them. So with the control number and financing the discount is 8% below invoice. DOC Fee is $399. Ask for Daniel. They are locate in Central Tennessee. Hopefully this helps out some of you!
The 1% FCA control number...is this the same control number given when you join Tread Lightly for $100? So if I join Tread Lightly and buy from Gupton and finance through them, I will get 8% below invoice?
Thank you for responses.

You have to get the control number from FCA/stellaris. I forget where but you input the tread lightly number and it gives you a control number if I remember correctly. I think it's 6% max right now with tread lightly and financing through them. Best to email Daniel with your build and he'll give you whatever they are doing right now. I'd email TriCity as well just in case they are doing more and it's enough to drive farther.

They’re 6/7/8%. 6% base, 1% extra for their financing and/or 1% stackable for affiliate OR tread lightly. The financing 1% makes it easy to compare with an outside lender and take whatever is net cheaper (potentially factoring in time), versus some dealers who REQUIRE in-house financing for the base deal.

Update: Shipping ETA is now 9/22-10/4 (another delay)

Been in shipping stage for 1 month and 3rd delay/ETA.

I don’t understand how a 6 hour drive from plant to dealer is this badly delayed, they keep mentioning drivers in shortage but I’m not buying the story.

Yeah, Jeep Chat just gave me an updated shipping window between now and 10/1. It was 9/17-9/23 last week.

Well, maybe the October incentives will be higher for a 2021 MY truck.

It’s not even about the money now, granted I work for myself so scheduling is easier to work with but I’ve been trying to plan around this to go take delivery and the ongoing delays make it tough.

I’d pay the incentive to get it now and be done with it the process.

Yeah, I agree. I'm trying to coordinate logistics for pick up, tire delivery and installation, etc. If this keeps up the Bronco I originally had on order may beat it to the lot!

To bad Jeep didn't offer a manufacture pick up, like what GM does with the Corvettes

Just spoke to Renee on the phone and she said it’s driver related.

I offered to pay for private shipper but no dice.

These are sold trucks that they are on the hook for, I was surprised they wouldn’t let me hire a private third party.

I’m trying to be reasonable which I think I am but it just doesn’t make sense to be this continuously delayed and why they would continue taking orders if they have no drivers.
