On mine, it was several days, if not a couple of weeks between the build sheet and the window sticker link working.

Wow, you mean it could still be weeks? I guess if I sell my Chevy quickly I could get by with no truck for a while - not like I need a truck every week - sometimes I can go 3 or 4 weeks and not really "need" a truck, especially in the winter, car show season over.

Yes it could. The shipping process can vary widely.

I ordered 09/11. My build sheet showed up 09/26. My window sticker didn't show until 10/09. From what I can tell, my truck arrived on the train @ Voltz train yard in Kansas City on 10/24. It was loaded on the truck YESTERDAY for the trip from Kansas City to Maryville (~100 miles), with ETA given as TBD.

Hopefully, I'll be getting mine this week sometime, but we shall see...

Cool that means maybe I'm close, I ordered the 21st.

If once can apply logic, I would think so!

I see you're from Iowa, never been there but that's where my family settled when they immigrated a long time ago, Willemssen is there name and there's still a lot of them in Iowa.

Assuming German or Dutch, yeah, for sure - Iowa is huge in those ancestries among others. Northern Iowa around Meservy and surrounding areas, heavily German. My first wife's family name was Hafermann. (my current wife's family name is Hoch - also German from a bit south of where I live now)
And there's the Amana colonies.......

Dutch - try Pella - VERY VERY Dutch - the tulip festival every spring draws many thousands of people and even Walmart and other chains had to comply with their building requirements that it fit the area - the homes, buildings, all very much Dutch influence.

It's all part of what makes Iowa cool (and today that is literally - ouch, 17 degrees, we're running 20 degrees and more below normal)

I have a question about the stats on the tracker. Sorry if this has been covered. Currently, it says:
1,704
Orders Tracked
1,493
Stickers Found
1,520
Builds Found
1,490
Completed
Are these stats only on vehicles that have been tracked by the tracker from the forum, or are they the total stats of Gladiators built by FCA?

Received another email today from dealer on original order - anyone know what this means? The link in this thread, post 1, says window sticker not found so it can't be complete - does this mean it's gone to get the bedliner and tonneau cover installed??

Bill,

Production is complete, beginning transportation process, will let you know when I know more.

Sincerely,

Scott Galbraith

Ok so now I get a second email from Scott today - this is what he said this time -

>>the body vendor is done and the Gladiator is awaiting transportation<<

Body vendor - the accessories people as in tonneau cover?
Awaiting transportation to what or where?

Sorry, folks - some things come naturally - this is still a bit tricky for me -

And I know - awaiting transportation can mean a lot of things and it could wait for weeks for a full something to be ready to go somewhere.

It sounds to me like your Gladiator is completely finished and waiting for a train/truck. I have heard on here that there is a delay between when your truck is finished and the window sticker becoming available. I will be going through this process myself soon as my estimated production start date is today.

I have heard the same - about the delay I mean. Interesting. So you think it's done done, then?

Good luck with yours - it appears some of the dates are similar. This was ordered 10/17. The VIN came about a week later I think.
Looks like you are getting a similar vehicle save for the stick compared to my automatic, and a Rubicon vs. my Overland. Sort of wish I had gone Rubicon - more towing capacity but I think this will handle what I'm doing. Blue - that's a striking blue. For me I liked more than one of the colors but my wife nixed the others - she REALLY wanted purple, or a color we have seen on the Wranglers that's sort of a metallic turquoise or whatever.
