Yikes I have a trip planned for June 9th with the thing, I ordered it the day it became available and didn’t think there was any way it would be June to get it!! Let’s hope thats not the case.

Keep in mind that most information that has been shared about colors from Jeep Reps has been inconsistent or just plain wrong.

I am assuming 3 months. That would mean first week of June. Later than that would suck. But I have waited this long I can wait a couple more months if necessary.
Ok, need some help here. I was about to place an order for the SG when the dealer called me back and said that now their rep is saying it's a June/July build, and therefore won't be delivered till August/September.

As a result, they are not keen on holding the offer for my trade in that long. I feel like they are just saying that because they want my trade sooner rather than later because it's better for them, and they don't really give a damn what color I order.

Any insights??

No telling. We won't know for sure until they start building it probably.

Have they not started building SG JLs yet?
As far as I know they are not. The one being sent to California is a test vehicle kind of like the Nacho vehicles that have made it to dealers.

@JLWF Dealer Guy can tell us for sure.

I really hope this info is incorrect, I will lose my mind if I have to wait that long. Has anyone received a vin # for their ordered Sting Gray??

Yup I already have my VON & VIN in D Status last I checked last Friday. I don’t see how they would delay Production into Late April or later because the Code “D” literally means “firm schedule: serial number assigned, approx time in station – 5 days”. Now of course a lot of people have been stuck in D for 27+ days as well, so who knows :facepalm:

I ordered on 3/2. I got my VIN on 3/6.

Mine is a JL, so I don't expect any movement soon. Jeepcares chat said the middle of April for the start of 2dr production. I don't know about Sting Gray production, but I would think that if they couldn't start producing that color, then they wouldn't have released it for ordering yet.

JLWF Dealer Guy, do you have any idea if it is accurate to say that a Sting Gray order placed today would not be delivered until August/September timeframe?

So how do you check what status your vehicle is in? Is there a way to check without calling the dealer?
