Gladiator Window Sticker and Build Sheet Order Tracking

[Geoarch]

Seeing yours and many of the other posts here and there about these things suggests to me that FCA is struggling to get things shipped. Like lack of trucks, lack of DRIVERS, train issues, once it gets to the destination for the train, no drivers for the trucks at that end and so on.
My dealer said that they've had some arrive a day after getting to the yard at KC, and he's had trucks sitting in KC for almost a month waiting for a truck ride to Des Moines.

That's seems to be the case here in the West as well. Not much we can do about it, but at least we haven't yet paid for it. The dealers, and I'm not sympathetic to dealers, pay for it when it's built, so you'd think the dealers would get together and do something, although you can't clone drivers out of thin air. I was a Class A driver in my youth, and the coursework was 40 hours. It's now 240 hours with 40 hours of drive time, so that might be part of it. Plus, unless you're in a union shop, the pay isn't that great, although it's improved over the last year. At nearly five months, it doesn't bother me as much.

Mine changed from 7/1 to 7/11.

Mine went from 7/1 to 7/11 & now today says 7/19 for the delivery date. ??‍

Trouble getting truck drivers is how it's looking, and that will vary with route and location.
Mine will have been sitting in Toledo on the lot for over 3 weeks if it arrives when they predict. Others have likely been sitting longer than that awaiting transport.

I could imagine ours is on the same train. First New Mexico, then Arizona.

Mine was six weeks on the Toledo lot.

I think you’re correct. Our Gladiators are train buddies!

Yeah, mine is now showing July 14, five days ahead of you. They're just trying to find truck drivers at Vaughn, NM out by Santa Rosa.

Mine arrived at a rail yard in Utah yesterday. Now we wait for a truck to Idaho. We'll see...

Mine was saying "Shipped: TBD" and "ESTIMATED DELIVERY: JUL-19-2022"
That was 9am today.
Now, 4:30pm, it says "Shipped: TBD" and "ESTIMATED DELIVERY: JUL-11-2022"

Not shipped but they bumped the delivery up by 8 days.

(if it was shipped, my dealer would have called me - he does that sort of thing as quick as he knows something, he lets me know)

Maybe they found a truck driver.

How did you find out it arrived there? Mine should be going there as well is why I ask. What dealer are you working with?

I ordered mine through Kent at Petersen Jeep. He's been good at keeping me updated through occasional emails. It seems like they've got a well oiled machine there.

Mine was shipped on June 18 and the dealer called yesterday; we pick it up today. Originally delivery was scheduled for mid July, but then revised to July 8, and actually came in on the sixth. Salesman said it must have come in during the night because it wasn’t there when he left Wednesday night, and was in the lot Thursday morning.

Yeah, mine was in sitting built in OH for 8 weeks... don't hold your breath.

On the positive side, I picked mine up last night! So there IS light at the end of this long tunnel. 8 weeks waiting to ship, 2 weeks via rail to arrive at CA railhead, 6 days to get unloaded at railhead and delivered to dealer.

Dealer called me at 8:15 this AM and said "your new Gladiator was loaded on a truck last night and is headed our way - estimated delivery by the 11th".
And that's what the Jeep tracking site says - estimated delivery of the 11th.
He said they have a Wrangler on the same truck that a co-worker of his ordered months ago.
Scott said that Jeeps built in Toledo are trucked to their location, no trains. He said RAM trucks, that's another story - they are still waiting on one to get a train ride - it's been sitting a couple of months now.
But Jeeps they get by truck. So there's no lay-over in KC offloading from train onto truck like their RAM trucks suffer.

Anyway, shipped, he told me the exact date and time it was loaded up and that they have other vehicles on the same truck headed to them. Last time it took 2 days from when it was loaded on a truck (loaded Sunday night, arrived here early Tuesday AM)

Mine STILL shows in production, which we know isn't correct. I'm convinced ours were riding the assembly line not far apart, and probably getting bedliner, etc sprayed about the same time. So hoping they just haven't updated mine and it's on the way as well. Mine does have to travel a bit further to get to Texas.
