Hey @Usmcxtreme03 I am working with Travis with Tri-City today to get a base Sport model ordered with manual windows, mirrors and locks as well as a manual transmission. Have asked him to confirm no problems to order all of these. Will let you know what he says.

And just my 2 cents opinion here for what it’s worth. But if Travis can order these things then it may be your dealership who may not want to order these things for you. Maybe they want to order you a more expensive truck so they make more profits. But then again on the flip side of the coin Jeep may not let them order any of these things. I got no clue. But I am with you, want to order these things today.

Hey @JeepCares we would really love to hear from you about these items. What is the deal here?

Hello @JeepCares please advise.
Hi Jake,
We do appreciate you reaching out to us.
Vehicle ordering questions are best handled by your dealer. Our team is sometimes given information regarding color availability, however, we are not given access to configurations. I apologize as I know this is not the answer you were looking for. We do encourage you to continue working with your dealer.

For everyone’s info I now know the scoop. Dealerships can not order a base Sport Model just to have for stock to sell off their lots. They can however order one when it is marked as a sold truck, ordered by a customer. I got my base Sport model truck ordered yesterday. And at first they could not get it ordered as they were not ordering it as a customer ordered truck. But once they clicked that it was a customer ordered truck then the Jeep ordering system allowed the order to go through. I watched them do it. Oh and FYI it’s also going to have a manual transmission. It can be done. For those wanting to order a base Sport model truck I hope this news makes your day.

Glad you finally figured it out. It's a shame that I had to order a sport s since I couldn't ever get any responses. No going back for me since I picked mine up two ads ago.

Jeep should keep track of such things so they can:

A) punish dealerships in some way for not knowing the Jeep product or the Jeep ordering system

B) and so they can step in and help the customers when they run into clueless dealerships

These kinds of things should fall into the basics category.

That will never happen so long as the Dealer Franchise system and the various state laws that protect it are in place.
