Gladiator Window Sticker and Build Sheet Order Tracking

[313IFD]

Out of curiosity I built my order today on Jeep.com and it has went up 695.00 since I ordered at the end of April.

I pick up my new JTR in a couple days, but had to check pricing out of curiosity after some of the forum comments. The Rubicon base was recently increased by $1,085 to $49,110.

Their costs are shooting up as well. Diesel fuel means the cost of delivery has jumped, shortages of parts cost money - downtime, etc. It's impacting all vehicle prices.

Just about has to be. Maybe I was the only one who ordered blue in the month of May so they had to wait until they got 999 more orders?
It is a pretty well loaded truck. Didn't get the other steps (the stock Overland running boards are fine with me) or certain other options, but did get all of the safety, advanced safety, tech, aux switches, whatever-else there was.
Yours was ordered almost 2 weeks later, and built by the time mine was scheduled.
It's got to be the blue.
I wonder if since they were doing gobi in may if they dropped out the blue paint line and did gobi all month for May.

I have also ordered the Hydro blue and have been waiting.

AHA! Blue it is! We had to wait for 998 additional orders for blue.
Interesting timing on the order - and yours being scheduled mid-May, and no movement since. Well, I guess scheduled could mean it will be built in June, July, or less likely, August. It takes a bit to switch model years.
Hey, we could have the last 2 2022 model year Gladiators built, the last 2022s to roll off the line! Collectors editions!

I placed order with Peterson in Nampa on 4/21/2022 Jeep shows order placed on 4/24 Received VIN and VON almost immediately. I have checked in with dealer a few times with no updates until today 6/7/2022 that says my truck is scheduled for production with a completion date of 6/17/2022. Jeep Chat and order tracking shows nothing. So I don't know when it will actually start production but am hoping for it to be done on the 17th? So I guess 55 days.

That lines up exactly with mine. I ordered 4/20. Order sheet shows order placed on 4/20, but within a few days of your. My scheduled ship date is 6/16. I asked my rep a couple days ago if he had any updates. Told him I was tracking via Jeep site and it still said scheduled. He told me it would stay that way until it actually ships. That seems to be common, although we've seen a few on here that have updated correctly. Who knows... But the fact you you ordered a day after me, and have an initial ship date of a day after mine makes everything line up.

Another wait begins for Hydro Blue, lol.

My Sport S was finnished being built June 3. Now waiting to be shipped. Had an estimated delivery date yesterday of 7/14. Today is says TBD. Anyone know how long these taking to ship to East Coast/Massachusetts?

Reading this thread piqued my curiosity, so I reconfigured my JTRD that I ordered back in Nov (delivered in Jan).

Original MSRP: $62,045.

It is wrong on so many levels, but I'm starting to view Jeeps as an investment strategy - 401k (check), mutual funds (check), Wrangler 392 (???).

The drawback to that, other than higher prices, they won't come back down. Whether it's fuel, supply chain or any other factor. Once resolved, it's more profit for the manufacturers. I believe in capitalism. They will get theirs. Now and in the future.

What was it, 12 or 15 years ago the last time gas hit $4 a gallon? Lots of folks raised prices to compensate. NO ONE lowered prices when gas came back down. Just food for thought.

I"m curious - and you will see the reason I ask this shortly - how old are you? (just a range is fine for my reasoning)

OK, did you live through the 70s and 80s? Especially the 70s? WIN - remember that one?
A pack of gum had 10 sticks......... the price stayed the same but the pack dropped to 7 sticks.
Canned veggies, tuna, whatever - was 16 ounces, the size kept dropping, not the price.
Recipes from the 60s have "one family size package of........" but today, the family size is 2/3 the size it was when the recipe was made.
People saw downsizing of packages, numbers of items in a package dropped, and people were tricked into thinking that things were fine, the manufacturers had not raised prices - so they were less evil. But the main reason was - price controls put in place in an effort to control inflation (a sick, very stupid way to deal with things - hey, we'll control inflation with price controls - prices of certain products can't jump over xx% during xx time span.
* The side effect of that down a couple of sentences or so.........
Then inflation waned, things were getting back under control, and costs for manufacturers dropped.
* This was the start of discounts, rebates and so on. Instead of dropping the price, when the price to produce it dropped, to stick within laws that governed certain pricing, they got around it with rebates.
That way if the prices jumped up again, they simply dropped the rebate, and skirted the laws governing price increases put in place in the 1970s.

You will likely see certain coupons, rebates and other things changing this year on some products.
A local grocery store used to use milk to get you in the door (of course it's in the far far back corner) by selling it for $1.50 a half gallon. This summer, with a gallon over $4.50, there are no more sales on milk there. So they cut the sales, they reduce the number of coupons, and rebates become less common or appealing - raise the price without raising the price.
I'm frankly surprised that Jeep actually increased the incentives on the Overland from $2K to $3K into about July 5th! I expected them to either stick to 2K or drop the incentive a bit.
It's an easy way to raise prices without raising prices.
But you can thank the run-away inflation of the 70s and WIN and other things for the rebates we now see as common on almost everything. Don't raise prices, drop rebates.

My D-I-L has a major in marketing and business - and my son and his wife have talked about how rebates are also good for the company making product xx - Microsoft and other companies have done studies that show that fewer than 25% of consumers actually end up sending in the paperwork for a rebate! They buy because of the rebate, but rarely follow through. So when Microsoft sells you a $500 software package with a $75 rebate - they aren't losing or risking a thing, people will see that rebate, think they are getting the software for $525, but end up not claiming the rebate.

Well lets hope that our trucks stay on timeline. I'm a little worried about shipping. I have a pile of parts in the garage ready to go.

I'm 52. So enough of 70s and 80s. Ok, so maybe I don't remember a ton of the 70s! But agree with what you're saying. It's still going on. Packaging getting smaller, or at least the amount in the package getting smaller.

No doubt on rebates. Can't count how many of those I've forgotten to send in. And how many I never received that I did send in for. Case in point, when I bought my Sport S in 2020, Chrysler was offering a $3500 extended warranty. Money back at the end if you didn't use it. I asked the finance guy how they were making money off of it. He flat out said, people forget and never ask for it back.

I was happy to see the $1750 rebate that hit for June. Thankfully there hadn't been a price increase since I started pricing and the time I ordered.

 

[Eviltastmaster]

Placed my order supposedly in today SG sport S hardtop. I delayed to, too much. Was wavering for a few months; probably costed myself a few grand. Still shocked these things but go up.

 

[darkmatter]

Spent the last seven weeks in JB status (built but pending installation of additional equipment).
So happy that it's fully built.. let's go.
