Base Sport is in transit

[Jake]

Just spoke with Jeep and was told that my truck has been built and is now on a short train ride to Dixiana,SC. It then takes a short truck ride to my dealership in Charleston. Will post pictures of it once I take delivery of it.

After waiting a solid week for my truck to make a 2 hour drive to my dealership I just found out that Jeep just updated their system. My dealership just told me that Jeep now shows it due at the destination rail facility tomorrow. So I called Jeep to find out what the heck!! Lady from Jeep put me on hold for five minutes and came back telling me that it’s now “somewhere” in the state of South Carolina and that the eta to the destination rail facility is now “to be determined.” She could not explain why the Jeep system has been showing for the last week that it has been sitting at that destination rail facility. She also could not explain why someone else from Jeep told me a week ago that it just arrived at that destination rail facility. Really unbelievable, but really not surprised here. We have all seen the bad info provided by Jeep about so many different matters for this truck. I guess it will get to my dealership whenever it gets there. What a cluster!!!!! Send alcohol!

I am beyond eager to see the base Sport Gladiators. The fact that I can get Katzkin Mopar Leather seats from the factory that will show up in the window sticker is a game changer for sure!

I will post pictures of mine whenever it finally shows up. Not holding my breath though.

I was excited for this, too until I found out you can have any color you want -- as long as it is black...I wanted the tan leather that is only available in the Overland & Rubicon...

Reminds me of the old Plymouth Prowler when it first came out, in purple only! Now a lot of the younger folks here are gonna have to Google the Plymouth Prowler. Ok I show my age a tad. But hey it was a cool looking car, but only in purple for some years.

I was in high school when that one came out -- lol.

Henry Ford allegedly said, "You can have any color you like, as long as it is black." about the Model T.

Awesome - when did you place your order?

Ordered on 8/9/19. Pretty fast from ordered to built, to “almost” at the dealership. I am only guessing that this is because it was a very easy build for Jeep, a base model truck with just 3 common options: hard top, rubber floor mats and a trailer hitch.

Hopefully its faster than the train ride to So Cal. Mine left the factory lot on May 19. I went to the dealer on June 15 and it was in transit so I put a down on it. It made it to the train yard in Los Angeles on Jun 28 and took over 17 days for them to ramp it. I got it on Jul 15.

I wanted it from the factory so it would be on the window sticker. Thats a total let down

Thats crazy fast! I ordered mine on 9/5/19! Hopefully we have the same luck as you with a quick build. Transit time is what it is, that stinks but I own a logistics company so I get it.
