Congrats again and thanks for the reply, it is good to know that the DT isn't holding up orders!

Nope...I have the dual top as well. Ordered 4/4 and delivered to dealer on 5/7.

@grayfoxx one thing to watch for on “dealer “ warranties is that they might offer you something that is only good if you have all service and repairs done through only them. There are usually exceptions, but it’s hard to jump through their hoops if you’re on the road when troubles hit.

@BillG I think @grayfoxx was referring to an OEM Jeep warranty as they are the only ones I know of that are lifetime. That said it is important to be distinct between an aftermarket warranty/service plan and adding on top the OEM warranty.

I had an aftermarket one on my Honda Pilot that paid for itself if you include the issue with the control arms bushings, that later became a recall. I would have received a $750 check from Honda had the aftermarket warranty not already covered it. The other big issue I had was with my hood latch. Somehow the hood latched even further down than it should have and then the release cable broke. They had to dissect a car on the lot first in order to figure out how to get mine open. That one was about $450. I think I paid $1200 total and also had a few other items they covered.

Got the dual top.

It comes with the premium soft top right? the one with the nicer canvas, not the cheap one? I got the dual top too - but I've been wondering that.

My dealer offers a free warranty called a “pro certified lifetime warranty “ with every new car they sell. However they stipulate that they must do all service and repairs, unless you get it pre approved. So unless you live very close to the dealer, and were already planning on having them do the work, it’s not very convenient. I’d rather have the FCA. I was cautioning grayfoxx about something similar to what my dealer offers, if that’s what they were trying to sell her.

My dealer just talked to their FCA rep about mine to remove the Headliner to expedite my order and the Rep said that the Dual Top might delay mine still so I asked that they ship without the Soft-Top and we deal with it when they are available.

Finally got it home! Fuel door was not installed. The dealer is sorting it out.

Yep...you get the premium soft top when you get the dual top group.

Didn't know the HT headliner was a delay item as well

I don't think it is

 

[AwCrimety]

I don't think it is

I thought I read in a few places that the install takes awhile....like a week. It ships offsite, waits, gets installed, ships back. I can't recall where I read that,...maybe I made it up

I have the headliner and it did not seem to cause any production delay.

4/19 = D1
5/2 = Build sheet available
5/5 = Window sticker available
5/21-5/25 = Delivery eta

Anyone look into the jeep wave program that comes with some of the jeeps? Shows that you get two free oil changes per year and tire rotations plus other benefits.

They actually called me today to welcome me to Jeep Wave. They You can register online. In addition to the tire rotations and oil changes they have MOPAR coupons and they also offer free first day car rental for warranty repairs or maintenance. There is also a dedicated customer service number I think as well. It's one of those benefits that I think people forget about and underutilize.

WOW, that isn't the case for mine, ordered 4/16 and Build Date of 5/11 was found before the TailGate Factory Fire delay, so Not sure now on build date but my Build Sheet or Window Sticker are not available. I went into D1 on 4/18. No rhyme or reason for these scattered builds, last VIN is: 226598 so I bet that doesn't even correlate and yours is similar.
