When does Jeep start building 2023s?

[Chumley]

I've searched and can't find anything about this so here I go, sorry if it's been covered elsewhere.

I ordered my replacement Gladiator Rubicon Diesel on May 31st after my first order arrived with shipping damage. So now I wait with so many others in the really crazy and unpredictable world of Jeep factory orders.

So talking to some, including my dealer, it sounds like Jeep could switch over to manufacturing 2023s as soon as mid-July but could be later too.

My order sheet says 2022 but does that mean it has to be considered a 2022 model?

At this point I'm hoping it's a 2023 model because I never buy a rig starting in August unless it's been fairly discounted because the next year's models start showing up in about September so I lose 1 year of value before I get it home.

What have you heard?

BTW: I ordered a European car a couple weeks ago and it was a 2023 model which is scheduled for production sometime in July and delivery in October. I was looking at BMWs and was essentially looking at a 2024 model with their backlog (12-18 months).

I can't blame you for not wanting a "leftover" at the same price. (FYI, the 23 will be more expensive, but not one years worth of value amounts) When the world and used car prices go back to normal that will lose you some residual value. But this is a conversation between you and your dealer. If you ordered a 22, you're getting a 22. If you want a 23 instead you need to inform your dealer to order you a 23.

Outside Ford with their bronco/maverick/lightning debacle I don't think anyone is getting rolled over to a different model year of production as a whoops.

If you ordered a 22 then you'll get a 22. 23 orders don't start until mid-July. I suggest you go see your salesperson and convey to him or her that you want a 23 instead and then you'll probably get it before the end of the year. Or keep your 22 order and get it by August. It all depends on how long you want to wait.

Last week of July, plant wide shutdown. You can probably expect 2023 orders to start running August 1st.
