Us Granite LE folks have been given a lot of different information regarding our orders and when we may finally see ANY movement. C Status since the beginning of the promotion is frustrating. FCA bragged about how fast the LE’s were sold out but didn’t say it would take 5 months for us finally receive our vehicles. The concierge line is not really a concierge line. If you’ve ever experienced a concierge at a hotel they bend over backwards to help you. I call the “con”cierge about twice a week with my VON and get no other answer then “you are in C Status”. UGH!! LE means Last Edition for us or so it feels.
They never sold all LEs in one day. People were still placing new LE orders a week or so ago. The "sold out in one day" is just another lie by Jeep.

Gladiator LE
Just called into my dealer. Found out my salesman was let go 2 weeks ago and no one picked my order up. The general manager at the dealership seems to think my VIN has already been generated which means the next thing I will hear is that they are going to start assigning VINs sometime around Halloween with a build start date of 4/19/20 because well, they like the number. Seriously though, I’ll let everyone know when I hear from the new sales rep what’s going on.

No regertz, but I went to my dealer this week to drive a JT again to make sure the car-seat fit. Long story short, there was a dealer order Black LE in "I" status slated to arrive in July that I was able to swap my granite for. I'm still hopeful you guys get yours soon; it's been

Enjoy your new JT! ;{

Not sure when/if my GCLE Gladiator will ever be built, but at least my 11 year updated my case so I’ll be ready!

Just spoke with Barbara in the concierge, she told me the granites aren’t going to begin to be built until august
OK... I‘ve decided I’m going to Ohmmm my expectations for delivery of my GCM GLADIATOR LE to around the end of Zeptember.
Zat way, if it comes Zen (or any zooner), it will be an elating zurprise, rather than a demoralizing dizappointment...
Ohmmmmmmmmmmm... ;{

I was at my dealer this morning to check with them about what has been said. According to the General Manager, this are supposedly still a go for July for the GCM LE's. I'm hope this is right. I didnt get any info from the chat last night. Although, you would think that some of the dealers that are here online, would be able to straighten out some of this misinformation that keeps popping up on here. I'm hoping we get some kind of progress soon.

I just spoke with Scarlett, she said they were just informed this morning, the granites will not be built for at least another month...WTF?
I called this AM. Barbara is saying they will start production end of July now so that sounds consistent with what you heard Friday. I don't believe her since it's always "a month away". End of July they will probably say end of August, and so on and so on....

So Barbara also gave the same story they've been feeding lately about how they are having problems switching over the paint to Granite, blah, blah. However, someone on a FB page says his Granite Sport S is being built today and he has friends in the plant. That sounds like they don't have a problem with the paint. Beyond frustrating that we can get such conflicting information.

never buying a launch edition again. if they came out with a statement saying Granite LE's weren't being built till 2021 I wouldn't even be surprised anymore. @JeepCares

You may as well stop tagging @JeepCares, because they don't. They would never come out and say they aren't being built until 2021, just that it won't be built until Aug 19, then Sept 19, then Oct 19, then...

FWIW, the guy on FB sent a screenshot showing his Granite Sport S is scheduled to ship 7/5. So I'm calling BS on Barbara and the concierge line again regarding "paint issues."

"gotdamn these forum guys don't let up!, Hey jimmy where we at on those LE's?"

Jimmy: "Oh Idk the guy who makes the schedule is on maternity leave till Dec. Probably March. Just keep telling them one more month." @JeepCares

Edit - is it me? How the frick do you contact @JeepCares when the link they sent introducing themselves doesn’t work.

Had a talk today with my wife about a Tacoma
Don't get a Tacoma, I had a 2017 TRD and it was nothing but issues.... Tires wore unevenly after 10,000 miles. The manual transmission would buck coming off the line. It was dangerous. Looked cool though! Just my 2 cents. I'm in "C" hell along with you! Just waiting.... irritated... and waiting.
