So, nothing. Got it. There is no reason to think that production cannot be ramped up moving forward. Until FCA tells us otherwise, it's a little crazy to think these trucks are going to be delayed more than 6 months from now.
No one said anything about the trucks being delayed. They are restricting certain options for personal orders. IIRC didn’t something similar happen to the JL at launch with LED lights and it was close to 6 months before they allowed those to be added to personal orders?
Do you guys hit JEEP CARES up daily for a status update? Cause my stealership, other than cutting me a hella deal on my JTRU, doesnt appear to be the sharpest block of cheddar cheese in the fridge! @steffen707
i bothered the dealer a few times for updates @spenchey is super quick, but i feel bad bugging helpful people too much. So yes i've contacted jeep chat a few times for my updates.
Ugh... I'd love it if everyone would get and share the same info. (Hint, hint, JeepChat...)
You know Jeep has repurposed that same bumper since the 10th Anniversary edition, and has now mounted it on a considerably heavier vehicle. I'm wondering if this made it to engineering and they said " Uhhhhh (enter technical jargon here) that won't work guys" and *poof* just like that.....
If that is the case and the steel bumpers do not meet the NHTSA 2.5 MPH bumper crash rating for the Gladiator, then there would be a recall coming down the line for what has already been delivered.
May not so much be the crash as it is the ability to handle winch time, with the currently available plate.
