Understand from my local dealer that Jeep will not deliver until February. Apparently they are holding onto them, even though they are being build now. What's your take on this?

The hold that is being discussed is about the JL, not the JK, so I wouldn't worry.Ordered a 2018 JK 2 door in Gobi on October 22 2017. Dealer told me 8 to 12 weeks and that's all the way up to Northern British Columbia. I sure hope that the hold to February is wrong.

I don't think they're changing it enough to need a hold. Maybe I am being hopeful but it doesnt add up. Cherokee was a totally different vehicle and the amount they are going to try to produce where are they going to hold them at? They are hoping to do over a 1000 Wranglers a day!I know nothing concrete on this either. FCA has done this before like when the new Cherokee came out. The difference then is it was a new transmission, a new vehicle all together. There were bugs. With the New Wrangler, it is new, but the good thing here is that they are implementing features and transmissions that are already in use. Now the 2.0, meh, could be a different story.
New Engines, New Transmissions, New Suspension, New Steering, New Controls, New lighting, New Instrument cluster, New HVAC/Radio cluster, New Windshield, New HardTop and SoftTop, New Seats, New Airbags... and that’s not even including stuff like SelecTrac which arrives mid-year.I don't think they're changing it enough to need a hold...
Sounds about right. I was anticipating March in other posts I've made. Given that I got a VIN earlier than I expected, yes, February sounds more accurate. Just in time for me to wheel the shit out of it in MOAB.Understand from my local dealer that Jeep will not deliver until February.

That's what I think. (Hope.)I may be the eternal optimist, but I think we will see some JLUs by mid January, or perhaps sooner
CorrectHey the AEK option includes the Premium Alpine Audio system correct?
