I’m starting to feel the same way, I ordered mine in March and still don’t have a production date.

I was feeling this way. Today after more than 5 months since ordering I get this email saying its being sequenced for production. No build sheet, no updates to tracker, no build date that I can see yet, but I think its finally happening.

I will NEVER order a new vehicle again. Very stressful experience. I will always shop dealer's lot for in stock vehicles.

I agree. I’m at week 14 and nothing. Won’t do any good, but I will visit the dealership again today just to make them a little uncomfortable.

Actually it's not the dealer's fault. They are as frustrated as customers. They won't make a red cent until the sale is finalized. The manufacturer keeps telling you to contact the dealer, but they don't know anymore than you can find out on chatting on online tracking. Very frustrating! I finally canceled my order after ove 6 months and bought my Gladiator off the lot. Mine wasn't like my order, but sometimes you need to be willing to compromise to get what you want. I actually bought a used Gladiator Overland that was loaded and like new cheaper than the Gladiator Sport with a 6-speed manual and tow package. Look around at the different MOPAR dealers and you can find one that you'll like (maybe).

I realize that it isn’t the dealerships fault. But, if they feel a bit uncomfortable, they can make the FCA rep uncomfortable, and on up the chain. But probably not.

Not really an update, but the sales manager at the dealership I ordered from said that he believes 99% that my gladiator will be built sometime in this 3rd quarter. If it isn’t built, they will look nationally for a diesel that is as close as possible to what I ordered, make a deal, and have it shipped at their expense to their dealership. I think that I’m going to stop obsessing about it, and just chill a bit. A plus is that I found that he lives in my neighborhood and he said that if I needed to borrow a truck, to call him and he will loan me his.

If it isn't done today, you are at the mercy of the UAW. Expect them to strike at midnight.
The last info I saw says they are going to strike at strategic plants. All timeline will be seriously delayed.

It can be days to weeks. VON shows up relatively quickly compared to the rest of the process. I had my VON in early May 2022 - didn't hear more until June. There are so many variables no one can say "it takes this long. Can be days, weeks or more.
The online tracker also isn't all that reliable or accurate as I've found out.
As noted - the looming strike will turn everything up-side-down.

Is this a screen shot of the online Jeep tracker? At what point did it show your options and all of that? Mine just shows order confirmed.More good news. My Jeep Gladiator order was built yesterday!
