Ordered 6/6 from Nyle Maxwell in Killeen TX. However, I really wanted to post to thank Daniel at Gupton Motors. His below MSRP quote was what got me the price match. He was quick to respond and didn't have any issues answering all of my questions. Can't say enough good things, and the $3,400 dollars it saved me was pretty nice also! Almost forgot, Sarge green Sport, Max tow package, Hartdtop, and aux. switches.

Looking back at posts on these topics from 30 months ago, or even further back, when you go to D1 and there's an estimated ship date, it's been demonstrated to actually be the build date. It was the case with my first one, and several others indicated their estimated ship date matched the build date on their door frame sticker.
A theory is that the ship date is from body vendor to the line where it gets assembled. These aren't all build by the same people in the same building. Frames are built by one vendor, bodies by another, and finally, the pieces get shipped to the main building where the parts come together. So my thinking is that shipping means the body for yours will be shipped from the body vendor across the campus in another building to the main line.
In any case, looking back, the first ship date you get is almost never when it actually ships.

Then on the topic of shipping - several people have said that theirs took weeks, even months - one member said it was over 7 weeks and even Jeep was opening an investigation to try to find his truck - they lost track of it once it went to shipping.
Ironically, my neighbor has a fellow staying with them for a couple of weeks while he and his wife move to another state - and this guy tracks railroad cars and shipments for companies. The railroads don't own the rail cars, other companies do, it's rather complex the way he explains it. I said - hey, someone said their truck was listed as shipped, went by rail - but no one knows where it is almost 2 months later.... and my neighbor responded - that's what this guy does - tracks down things like that.

Interesting job. And found the sounds of things - it keeps him very busy traveling the country.

Mine still shows waiting to ship, meanwhile, it's been at the dealer for 6 days. Take it all with a grain of salt and pass the time ordering mods and scouring the forum, fantasizing what you're going to do to and with your Jeep. [That sounds a little wrong, but us jeepers understand].

About an hour after I posted, I received an e-mail from the Kent at Peterson saying it's on the train with a delivery date to Utah hub on 6/19.

I already have a shopping cart of parts waiting for me to click the "buy" button lol
I had a lot of fun building up my Wrangler, now excited to focus on the Gladiator

Hello,

I just placed my order for a Sting Gray Rubicon on March 31st with Lustine CDJR in Woodbridge, VA .
It's optioned up with just about every package available with the 3.0 EcoDiesel.
This will be my first Jeep and looking forward to customizing it for a some offroad fun and camping trips.

Yup, mine has been built since 4/29, and still TBD... It's a long wait. I read on one of these posts the dealer said to expect 8 weeks delay to ship via train. That leaves me at about two weeks out (~16 days) until the 8 week mark, and you about the same. No idea how accurate that is, (probably not very), but setting a future date to look for is helping me.

Well at least that’s something. Hopefully that is accurate. ??

I've seen posts by others in California who are also waiting for their Gladiators to be delivered and I don't understand why there's a delay with the rail shipping. I found this article from 2019 Why Railcar Constraints Continue to Impact Order-to-Delivery - Operations - Automotive Fleet (automotive-fleet.com)

Thanks for the article. Its very informative and interesting (IMO), especially considering it was written just prior to COVID screwing with supply chains and labor pools. It sounds like the transport of trucks via train was already strained and problematic. I can only imagine it is currently a nightmare. It certainly does not give me any confidence in getting my truck shipped to CA quickly...
