Firecracker Red Rubicon Diesel order just went in. Now the wait for MY21 production to start....
Any idea when 2021 production starts? Kicking around trading in my '19 JLUR and ordering a '21 Gladiator optioned out Sport S with Max Tow and then picking up a cheap(er) 2 door JK or even a TJ to wheel with instead of beating up this $55k JLUR

That's an INSANELY fast build time and delivery! This wasn't a dealer transfer, it was actually a custom build for you???!?!?
Yep. Custom order. Had the VON and VIN number 2 days later. I was surprised as well.

Curious? What exactly did you order? I ordered on May 13 and mine has been built since July 3. I should see it shortly after the 24th. I ordered a colour matched fully loaded Rubicon.

2021... Any idea when production will begin? I'm told that '21 production of the JL has begun, the JT has not.
Thanks !

To respond to NEWBWHEELER. I ordered exact same as you - color matched loaded Rubicon - white. I think the only thing I didn’t need was the block heater.

The 2021 JL has not started production and probably won't until around August 10. Orders opened June 5. There are still 2020 JL orders from Feb and Mar waiting to be built. But JTs are a different line with fewer back orders so should go quicker than than JL. Jay will publish the projected order start date and estimated production date for JT just as soon as he gets them.

Guessing the JT uses the same production sequencing system as the JL - each day it uses the very complex enie, meanie, minie mo algorithm.

Still no Gladiator yet. :headbang:

Order entered May 29, notified that build was complete June 20. Dealer originally hoped it would make it up to Canada by end of June.

Latest is that Chrysler anticipates it should ship by mid-July and hopefully I will have it by the 20th.

Any anticipated styling changes, other than the mechanical they've noted (motor, FT 4wd, etc)

Down in the states they wait for trucks to take them to the railyard to load, they take a long rail ride, then they wait at the rail drop yard for someone to be able to unload and then wait for trucks to take them to the dealer. One middle size drop yard had 900 waiting. They are even storing them on the railcars which means those railcars couldn't get back to the factory to pick up more.

None that have been reported. Main reason no shutdown for model year switch - engine, transmission and transfer case vendors given enough advanced notice to be ready, Hopefully.
