The wait is brutal. My garage is filled up with wheels, bumper, winch, and blackhorse rollbar (which came today). Asked dealer tonight and he was going to check on status. Got window sticker on Saturday and I live in Michigan so its not far from the plant. Too bad they don't do like we did at GM with Vettes, where you could come drive it off the line!
Ugh

I know the feeling. Mine has been in "inspection" for 28 days now. The dealer reached out to his factory rep and we found out that it has been waiting on parts. its depressing to know that I have at least another 3-4 week wait. I am still hopeful that I will get my 2021 before 2021...
Agreed on the factory pickup, that could be a whole experience. They could have a small off-road course, lessons for beginners, photo ops with old flat fenders, and then they spit you out into a gift shop before you leave. It could be like Disney for adults. Sign me up!

Enjoy the journey not just the destination. :jk:
My problem is my lease ended on my Ram 1500 wednesday and I have a 1 week grace period (Oct 1st) and Ally wants $800 to extend the lease 1 month (that's twice as much as I pay now) because they take the cost of the lease of the sticker price of the truck, not what i paid after all rebates and discounts. So then I'd get stuck with a truck payment and the new jeep payment on the same month. But then who knows what the deals and rebates on the Jeep will be in Oct vs Sept which I was quoted. Dealer said he could move some dates around a day or 2 to help out if its close. We'll see...

I ordered mine early September and was told delivery mid November. Looks like it might be actually 2021 when I get mine. Bummer!

Why do you say that it will be 2021? Did you get a confirmation of this date? So Nov is not happening now? :-(

No, I'm just used to being told one thing and reality is different. When I bought my Chevy turbo-diesel dually it took almost 6 months and I was told 8 weeks.
