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.

Not in the league of a Raptor, but I just test drove a Rebel yesterday. I am now reconciling buying the Rebel for significantly less than my Gladiator and just keeping my JK sport that was going to be part of my trade-in. That would give me a V8 with some off-road bonafides, the ability to tow...

Well damn. Then I am now worried I could be in that boat. Congrats to you in getting what you got. I am starting to fiddle with the idea of getting a Ram Rebel. I say this with some horror, as I never before contemplated 1) not getting a Jeep, and 2) not getting stick (literally been driving...

Regarding my above previous post: I talked to a particularly adept Jeep Chat representative yesterday (I actually say that without cynicism, he did not strike me as clueless, robotic, or full of shit), and he said the information in the POC form regarding the ship date is the product of an...

Indeed. Perhaps what makes less sense is that I keep expecting something to make sense at some point in this process.

Here is what I just posted in the Manual Transmission Club thread, but it is just as apropos in this one: Context: I was told by Jeep Chat on 8/12 that I was in D1. Subsequent Jeep Chats, however, reported that I was in D (one even claimed I was in C). A regression that is at this point not at...

Context: I was told by Jeep Chat on 8/12 that I was in D1. Subsequent Jeep Chats, however, reported that I was in D (one even claimed I was in C). A regression that is at this point not at all surprising to any of us. New information: Today I contacted my dealer and it was reported that I have...

Oh no. This was all self-inquiry with Jeep Chat. Yesterday Jeep Chat went above and beyond and actually said they were going to walk over and talk to the man, the myth, Jeff. Which, assuming it's true, I appreciate. She then said she told Jeff my situation and that he was going to look into my...

Haven't posted in a little while. I was told I was D1 a week ago. But since then I have somehow lurched back to D. Delightful.

Is that a red heeler I spy? I have a blue and a red. Insane, but awesome, the two of them.

Worry not, everyone. I, like many, have progressed to D1 very recently. And while it may not feel like we should necessarily count this as meaningful, just know that I am near-certain that the build/shipping process will now progress at light speed--as I have a close date on a house in early...

Ha, of course not. That would simply be too much information for them to provide all at once.

First signs of progress...today I'm D1.

And just like that, after having waited only a mere two months, I am...D1.

Did any one else get their D status reset after escalating their case? I escalated over a week ago, and now when I interact with Jeep Chat, they talk to me about D in such a way as though I have newly entered into it: Your 2020 Jeep Gladiator is in the scheduling phase of the manufacturing...

On Friday, my days in D hit 45, so my case was escalated. Yesterday I received an email from FCA essentially providing no new information and stating that, yes, I was in D. But this morning I did a check with Jeep Chat and the lady told my I had only been in D since 7/29. I'm not entirely sure...

Right. It's not even the wait itself that bothers me--it's not being in possession of all the facts. They could have told me I'd have a 4-month minimum wait and I still would have ordered my specific build. It's that I wasn't given any indication that any part of my order would be subject to...

I originally convinced myself that the M/T sealed my fate. Now, however, it seems like my paint choice may be the blame. Then, too, I've heard that the Rubi rear steel bumper may also have kinked the natural procession of events. This is just to say that one would need a sophisticated algorithm...

I'm starting to tinker with the idea of using this incompetence to get the dealer to give me a deal on a Mopar lift. Though this debacle is not their fault (though part of my basis of agreeing to an order was their 4-6 week expected time frame), I wonder if I can get a decent amount of labor...
