Same here, the dealer told me at least another week for any updates. Looks like a mid July delivery!

I just got off the phone with my regional FCA Rep. They are just beginning to perform checks & balances on the LE orders. He asked me for names of all those I placed an order for. It seems many dealers received duplicate leads on the same customer (ie: We received 3 leads for the same customer). What does this mean? The "sell out" of LE Gladiators may not have happened! All LE's we have ordered at my store have been moved to BX Status (Unscheduled- Good Order Available for Scheduling). I asked him about that & he stated as long as they have moved from BG (Bad order) or BA (Unscheduled- Pending Order) we are good to go so far. They (FCA) still need to make sure those that have been ordered match up to the LE Website hand raiser information (Name & email provided by the customer on the LE website).

Any additional information provided to us will be passed along.

Is anyone else of the opinion, people who ordered the LE Gladiator should be getting them delivered before the non-LE orders...?

I would think that a "Launch Edition" would be in customers hands before the regular orders. The fact that I will see a bunch of Gladiators on the road and at dealers and I will still be waiting for my LE doesn't seem right.

Yea I think most of us on the forum and probably all that ordered LEs will agree.
But, I think even with the little information we have it seems that will not be the case. Pre-specs will be on lots soon, and the LEs will trickle in. They probably will be the first custom orders... maybe. But it doesn’t appear that they will be the actual first to be delivered...

I hope I’m wrong

FCA never said they would be first, in fact they said the opposite.

Had you done your homework you would know that all indications (well before launch edition were announced) were that custom orders would start in April for delivery in June. Production starts in March for dealer allocations. This was released by mopar insider in early March.

I guess I missed the press release where they said the opposite..

Thanks for the clarification.

Are you calling an LE a “custom order”..?

Nope. Never thought that. Never was said, never was promised, never was implied.

LE are all custom orders.

LEs are 100% a custom order. Anytime you order from the dealer and they purchase on your behalf if is a custom order.

Ok, if that's how it's classified. Honestly, doesn't seem very "custom", considering the only choice is color. These could have been produced and waiting in the wings months ago.

What makes it custom more than anything is that your name will be on the window sticker with your von and vin number.

Trust me, I’ve tried this argument too. Nobody else can see that logic, nor does it matter if you haven’t custom ordered at least 4 cars before.
