Out of curiosity what was your order date. I’m trying to avoid harassing my dealer for constant updates

I don't know if this is funny or sad, jeeps two big Superbowl commercials featured 2dr jl wranglers yet you can't buy a 2dr jl anywhere in the country yet and won't be able too for at least 6 weeks!

Not quite Trail Ready...

I’ve gone the juvenile route of bashing them on social media. Not going to get us anywhere but it lets me vent

Well I just got an update from my dealer and I'm in D vs. D1.

I posted earlier that I had to admit a tinge of jealousy when I saw you go to D1 this week, but this is truly bad news. I know this is your second time being notified of D1 status, only to have the rug pulled out. I've just had that happen once, but that was enough to know it's hugely disappointing.

On the positive side, I don't think this reflects another change in production schedule. The last time round, when we both went to D1, we were kicked back to D because FCA cancelled their Feburary production start. This incident looks more like a data error. It looks like your old D1 status was incorrectly being reported as your current status. I say that because the last event date in the tracking spreadsheet was Feb 9 - the date we originally went to D1 and not a March date.

With the last false start, D1s for 2drs were assigned around a week in advance of scheduled production. Assuming the April 9 target date still holds, we should start seeing D1s for 2drs the week of April 1. Here's hoping we both get upgraded in a couple of weeks.

Ordered 1/6. 2dr Rubi loaded. Told at first 4-6 weeks. Then told 6-8 weeks. Then told don't have any idea. Waiting 10 weeks today. Maybe FCA ought to go down the road apiece to Lima, Ohio for a tour. They can gut a 60 ton Abrams Tank in 2.5 days and do a complete rebuild. It has a great electronic off road package and pretty good four wheel drive capability. Might learn something about production scheduling and satisfying the customer.

Doubt they’re building as many or at the same price point but I feel your pain. I ordered mine 12/12/17.

Just read that Ford is bringing back the 2 dr Bronco this Fall and is hinting at a smaller version like the original.

Guess it's not just FCA that is "hinting" at having a 2 dr off road vehicle

I have hope for that future Bronco. Ford's a better automaker than FCA, and they'll light a fire under their ass coming out with their own boxy SUV, forcing them to improve or lose market share. If they execute this thing well, I wouldn't be surprised if I own one one day.
