I suspect your dealer is trying to get you to buy from his inventory and is not encouraging factory order. Find a dealer that will work with you.
I placed my order 9/11 and my dealer said last week the system is showing build date of 10/15. He originally said 6-8 weeks to receive, so it's on schedule. 3-6 months is BS.

2021 Jeep Gladiator EcoDiesel
I tracked my timeline....See below....It seems like it took a while, but that's because they weren't building the 2021 gladiator ecodiesels till around 9-14...You can see once they started building that specific model and year, mine was delivered in 2 weeks....so I'm guessing for you it will be 3-4 weeks average

Orderd Date: 8-3-2020
VIN came 8-10-2020
VON provided 08-16-2020
Vehicle in Paint 09-16-2020
Vehicle done with build, in basic inspection, then will be getting accessories like radio installed, then final inspection 09-22-2020
Vehicle in Shipping phase 09-23-2020
Current Dealer ETA is 09/28/2020 - 10/12/2020...update given 09-26-2020
Delivered: 10-2-2020

I ordered mine on Sunday 10/04/2020. I ordered the Gladiator Rubicon Ecodiesel in Hydro Pearl Blue. My dealer said they would get updated usually weekly, but that it could take up to 12 weeks from the order date.

Does anybody know if delivery time frame depends anyhow on dealership? Sort of "good" ones get it faster?

Ordered my 2021 Mojave on 9/1. As of today, according to Jeep chat, it's still in D1 status - sequenced for build but hasn't started yet. When I asked, he said the typical time frame for an order is 6-10 weeks. It seems unbelievable to me that FCA can't come up with a reliable order tracking system that customers can access without bothering the dealer or Jeep chat.

I think orders to build is not high priority for FCA, very low volume, so it's probably cheaper having a person answering via chat, than building or exposing tracking system.

Ordered 2021 JTR diesel on 7/11. Arrived at dealer on 10/5.
I am backing out time from order to build since diesel production did not start till 9/4, so it took 4 weeks on mine.
I agree with previous comments. The dealer you talked to is trying to push you to buy off the lot. Find a better dealer that will work with you. There are several on the forum that are great to work with.
Good luck on your purchase!

I ordered mine and dealer said there was no penalty for custom order,every Jeep on their lot carry finance charges, which go against that unit, and ordered one comes in and goes out typically couple days, win,win! I also know it is true to buy the last day of the month to make quota, got 500 more for my trade and used the tread lightly discount (saved about $450)...bought 4PM on 9/30!!!

I bet from start to finish down the production line it only takes a matter of hours. Maybe 8?

Some of these times are longer than they currently are due to the 20/21 change over...if you order today it’s 6-8 weeks.
