My 5 month wait came to an end today. I had basically given up on my order, still in D, and found a “local” dealer that had a comparable Jeep that newly arrived to the lot last weekend. I secured that order with a small deposit. Today, I made the 190 mile (almost 4 hour drive) down to...
I really should have ordered in March. If I do this factory order again, I won't be an early order. But when that time comes around, I'll be voicing my frustrations on the [insertnextmodel]wranglerforums.
*5,000 High Tide models. The first 500 are Beach models.
"Jeep has told its dealer base that it expects to build 5,000 units of the High Tide between April and July 2022."
Jeep really should step it up with the XR parts availability. They already pulled the XR package from the 392 for the...
Planning on heading down to pick it up Thursday, it’s about a 4 hour drive.
Totally agree with your suggestion. I think hearing something is better than hearing nothing. I’d rather know that people were trying rather than someone putting minimal effort in a copy + paste response.
Jeep really left these dealers out to dry. Jeep Chat is completely worthless (until you maybe hit D1). They told me to work with my selling dealer for updates. When I asked my dealer, they told me they have absolutely no idea when my Jeep would be out of D and they have no updates from Jeep. I...
Price increase in January 2022 (the 14th or 16th, I believe). All new stickers will show this increase but if you ordered before the increase, the dealer should honor it.
UPDATE: Today marks 5 months from the date of my order on 11/16/21. My order was a Hydro Blue Rubicon Unlimited Xtreme Recon with Sky OneTouch, black leather seats, Cold Weather Group, Steel Bumpers, Safety Group, Advanced Safety Group, Tow Package, Gorilla Glass, Trail Camera and Cold Air...
SAME HERE! I wanted to have all of the options. But then I heard that having the Advanced Safety Group requires the glass to be calibrated properly when being replaced. From what I've read, there are kits that are available for the blind spot monitoring and I am in the process of ordering the...
My must haves were the XR Package, Sky OneTouch, Cold Weather Group, Leather Seats and Tow Package. I could live without the Cold Air Intake, Trail Camera and Advanced Safety Group (more of a pain in windshield repairs). Really wanted the Safety Group, but I’m going to add that aftermarket. Same...

The one that is in transit to this other dealer has everything similar to the one that I had...
My 11/16 was at MSRP and so is the one that’s in transit to this other dealer in WV.
Today marks exactly 5 months (22 weeks) from order), still in D.
Order banks being closed for a model year does not mean that the model year will be done by then. There were still MY21’s being made and shipped in 2022, and there were MY21 that got pushed to MY22. From the looks of how MY22 is going, I think things are worse than they were last year.
I’m in a similar situation. I searched for “local” inventory on the Jeep website and found a dealer in WV that has a comparable order that’s in transit. The dealer was very motivated to get my business. Sometimes it’s worth exploring your options, especially if your dealer doesn’t care to keep...
Ask your dealer. Every dealer may have a different answer. I asked my dealer since it’s been 5 months for me in D. He said they’ll probably just keep the order in case I change my mind and just sell it on the lot when it comes in. I think they’re having a hard time getting lot orders in.
Hate to say it, but Ford did a hell of a lot better with customer service. They even shipped out Bronco swag to try and appease their customers. Came to Jeep and I can’t even get an unscripted response. All we’re with is a copy + paste canned response.
11/16 order here and still in D. Jeep Chat has been worthless, telling me to go to my dealer for information, and my dealer has no updates and can't get any information from their regional rep. I'm nearing the 5 month mark and the end of my vehicle lease. I had to extend my existing lease by...
To anyone who is getting to the 11th hour of their lease and hoping to get your new JL in time, you may have to extend your lease. While exploring options on other lots, some dealers have said that they cannot buyout my vehicle because my lease was already up (I had already made the last...
