The est ship date is when the truck was planned to come off the production line. Not when it is at the dealership or even when it leaves the plant. It could take up to two weeks to get to you after it comes off the production line.
I am sure by next week someone will have one.
The sale tax is a big savings. You still pay some but it is done per a payment instead of the whole car. I posted an example math on this thread if you want to see it.
I posted this before on this thread. It might help you.

It me put it another way. If you did a 3 year lease and took the payment savings and put in the bank instead.
If you decide at year 3 you wanted to keep it you take that bank money as a down on a new loan. You extra...
My old post
"I built a new JL with as close to the same equipment as my JK as I could. It was 46,730 vs. 40,980 in 2013. That is about 6000 increase. Plus, the JL has many things my JK didn't in that 46,000 price as well. The JL is much nicer as a base model then the JK was.
The option list is...
I had an almost fully loaded 2013 JKRU and priced a 2019 JLRU with the same options. It was only a 3k difference MSRP to MSRP and the JLRU had stuff STD that wasn't an option back then. I think you might be a little bit wrong in your numbers.
Soft top - Yes
All weather slush mats -Yes
Wireless bluetooth speaker - It doesn't look like so.
Spray in bedliner - Yes
Smokers group - should be able to get a lighter on amazon.
The OEM TOP is made by Bestop. So quality should be the same, At least for a Bestop one. For the JL/JK it is about 2000 for OEM. I have yet to see any prices for the Gladiator without being a factory option.
Nice I am out by Plymouth Meeting.
I emailed bestop and they had no information on making an aftermarket top yet. I also talked to decked and he let me know thier system for the Gladiator wasn't out until this fall. Plus, Mopar has a 6 months window were you can only get it from Mopar. I am thinking that best top might have...
I get that some people want to hear it from the dealer or jeep. I found both of those sources to be unreliable at best. I see the real proof in the production system status. Sure, maybe a few will be off but the data is not fat fingered by someone. It is a direct feed from the line. That is the...
I would have paid up and admitted it if I wrong.
My point was not everything on here is speculation as you put it. There is a lot of good information. I agree that there is some speculation and some bad information. If you ask yourself if it makes sense. You can divide out the good and bad...
