I ordered mine with A/Ts and when I went to pick up my Gladiator, the M/Ts were on it. They had another Gladiator on the lot which included M/T on the window sticker, but was equipped with A/T. I had the dealer switch the tires out and couldn't be happier. In my opinion, the M/Ts look like the tires on my wife's old Santa Fe. The A/T will do for my first set of tires, will upgrade once they wear out.

Did any one else get their D status reset after escalating their case? I escalated over a week ago, and now when I interact with Jeep Chat, they talk to me about D in such a way as though I have newly entered into it:

Your 2020 Jeep Gladiator is in the scheduling phase of the manufacturing process.
The parts required to build the vehicle are being scheduled and as soon as they available and ready, order will be scheduled for build. Most orders are scheduled for build within 30 days after reaching this stage. D satus
​

Something along these lines has happened with each subsequent interaction with Jeep Chat. I got the FCA email from the inimitable 'Jeff', stating nothing newsworthy, but I expected dialogues to at least pay homage to the fact that I have been in D not for a few days, but for 55 days. I am paranoid that this somehow has kicked me back in line. Is such paranoia logically coherent? No. But I simply can't trust anything I hear and I know I have no real insight into where the hell I am in the process.

Same boat. 86 days from order now and got the same communication you did. Nothing further or more useful.

My understanding is if you are getting a Rubicon, the 97 MPH limitation is going to be flashed regardless if you get A/T or M/T tires.

Any way to reverse the flash?

who in the hell wants to go faster than 97MPH in a "Jeep" maybe if it was a trackhawk yeah but something with a solid axle front end?? nope.

I also saw the 97MPH thing on my build sheet also. I hope I don't get A/Ts because those won't look the coolest at the mall

At this point, I would take delivery of my JTR on wooden wheels. It'd tick the guy off at work who's buying the take-offs, but he'd get over it.

Well, for those in Northern Indiana, Southern Michigan, or nearby...LaPorte Jeep has my first order on the lot to sell. White Rubi, aux switch, cold Wx, manual, MT’s, bedlining, trail rail kit, premium soft top, tow package. Talk to Matt Magnuson, tell him I sent ya

I sent my monday email to Jeff, i wonder what excuses he will give me today

 

[2004blackwrx]

I wanted the a/t but thought the m/t looked cooler. The dealer didnt ask so Im leaving it to be a surprise. Hearing all the misery and frustration I feel bad saying that I just entered JB. I ordered on 6/17

Don't feel bad! We're all just jealous. I'd be interested to see what your options are. Can you add them to your signature? Now that I am thinking about it, if they match what I ordered, I'd be slightly peeved LOL.

I haven't gotten an answer to my question from last Tuesday from dear old Jeff.

Question was "Can this order be cancelled?"

I’m starting to think it’s just the color. Is there any black M/T rubicons out there?

Eh

Eh, mine is a A/T. I thought about the M/T, but as my daily driver i thought it might be problematic since I'm 1/2 freeway.
