Ordered 5/4. Hit KZ today. Pretty excited, which of course means that FCA will dash my hopes with Godzilla crushing the train or something, but still optimistic.
NO, man, don't jinx it!!!

Don't go down this chat rabbit hole......your better off bugging travis once a week. The pizza tracker is inaccurate and depending on your rep you may get some different answers. Soon you will find yourself checking everyday and going down the path of insanity, next thing you know your hijacking every thread reminding everyone how long you have been waiting and how miserable you are. New members will join and you will be tempted to crush their optimism because they will surely suffer the same fate as you.......Bad JuJu man.

Yep! When you have been checking daily for over 2 months and watch others order, build, deliver and driver away. You will get salty. Or when your first post ends up 20 pages earlier, when your status changes.
I know when I have a statues change I post it here so others can gauge build timeline. Unfortunately a week ago I gave the information from my dealer that my vehicle was delivered which is still not true. :( :headbang:

Yeah, unfortunately that's basically what the Ordering section of the forum is, people complaining about being stuck in __ status for X days. I mean, just look at the titles that continue to be on the first page week after week: "Post your 2020 JT Gladiator build status", "New Poll - who is stuck in status “D”", "Stuck in JB Hell?", "Stuck in KZ Status", or even the ones that are mostly complaining about delivery dates/stuck in various status states: "Sting grey owners (future) check in", "First Granite Crystal VIN# Post Here", "Manual Transmission Club". Everyone is stuck in their own version of hell (until they move to the next status code and get stuck there). Some people get "stuck" for 2 days and complain and others stuck much longer. Some escalate and file a complaint to Jeep after 30 days. In the end, none of this changes anything and Jeep will deliver these when they are damn ready to, and continue to give false updates along the way. Customer service is not a priority with Jeep.

What I have seen on this forum, is once the lucky folks actually get their JTs delivered, they disappear from the Ordering section of the forum. Some still hang out in other sections, but most basically stop posting because they are out enjoying their Gladiators. The ones left hanging by Jeep remain here, in one or more of the threads above, hoping someday they will get theirs delivered.

Relax... I was simply asking if there was an easier / more efficient way to get status of my vehicle other than the way I know.

Use Jeep chat. Its on jeep.com, bottom of the page, contact us button. You need your VON or VIN and your address. Good luck. Keep in mind they may or may not give you correct information.

I took my order sheet and copied the contact information off of it and typed it into word, so it matches their database. I added the VIN, and when I contact chat just do a copy paste.

And when they tell you the status, ask for the code. They may just give an English description. So I will always ask "so you mean D status" or whatever is appropriate.

Still JZ no ETA.

I can track a $2 battery from Amazon but not a $45,000 truck through FCA. Things that make you go hmmm.

Update: my Jeep is on a train bound for Iowa right now. From there it will go to Portland and then to the dealership. Maybe a week; maybe several. I do live off the beaten path.
