none. I just build them
For what it's worth, 2nd shift Union Steward has confirmed this. Also a few people have went to the JT website and it is no longer taking orders. I don't know whats going on for sure, I'm not currently there but will be in a few short hours. I'll update in the morning 0nce I get some facts. Good night.

Perhaps you don't understand that's your money they are spending??

This has zero chance of being true.
I had no idea, thanks.

Even though my comment was tongue in cheek, it is still true. Regardless of who gets the vehicles first consumers are the ones that pick up the cost. Whether it be through tax dollars or paying 50k+ for a mid-sized truck. If the Govt gets them first then that just might save some headache for the consumers.

Granted this rumor may be wrong, but to say there is zero chance is pretty naive.

Just what I am hearing. I never been to the site but if it's never been taking orders then i guess that explains why it's not taking them now. lol

Maybe. I ask you to consider this.

*You* are the government agent responsible for ordering government vehicles.

Your budget allows for 60,000 Jeep Gladiators.

All you have to do is click "send".

What would you do?

So...

What you’re saying is that a vehicle that was only supposed to sell 100k units a year...

Has had 60% of its production earmarked for one giant purchaser?

Literally not the first time a union rep has lied through his teeth or not known what he was talking about.

I call BS
