Where are you reading that? I have a gladiator on order and over the gladiator forum there are guys back logged since late January. They have been saying the issues were resolved (one guy via a dealership, another from ready Jeep news online). I don’t know if the issues are specific to the separate platforms or if they span JT and JL both.Am i reading this thread correctly that if i place a 2021 order for a jlur manual that its a complete roll of the dice as to when it could get built due to the recall issue? Also that there are a backlog of 2020 orders with manual dating back to feb for manuals with no progress? I was getting ready to place 2021 order with manual but not sure i can just fly in the dark like this if there is no end in sight to this issue
The Islander blue looks nice. I'd like to tone it down a bit with a Recon package with black top, fenders. and grill. Okay Jeep take my money. I've made up my mind that I can't do a gray shade including black or white.If i had to guess, it'll be surf blue, based on the fact that the order sheet references an islander model(not available yet)

Closed. Per some who reported they tried to order and dealer said they can't.can anyone confirm that 2020 Orders are in-fact closed? Or are they still taking 2020 orders?
Yeah, so my local dealer is trying to talk me in to ordering 2020 to get it sooner, and im just confused based on the info hereClosed. Per some who reported they tried to order and dealer said they can't.
Yeah I spent all winter agonizing over what to buy, finally decided on a 2-door Rubicon manual in Ocean Blue. Emailed my guy last Thursday to say I was ready to place my order. He said he was out of the office but would get back to me the following day. We played some phone tag and finally caught up this Monday, only to find out that 2020 closed on the 4th (last Thursday), the price for my Jeep went up by $450, Ocean Blue discontinued and the $1500 rebate (2020's) not for the 2021's....so in an instant i went from getting my dream car (have wanted a Jeep for 15 years), to having to spend an additional $2k for the my distant second color choice. I've been so depressed about it...but life goes on.My dealer told me they stopped last week.
Actually, there was a posting in the forums over about a month ago stating they were going to stop taking orders for 2020 the first week in June and then start the 2021 in early July!Yeah I spent all winter agonizing over what to buy, finally decided on a 2-door Rubicon manual in Ocean Blue.

If they bring back some sort of rebate in my region and maybe the Hydro Blue color, I will still buy one this year. Fingers crossed.
BTW - This is my first post. Thanks to all who post up pics and great information. It helped me figure out what I wanted.
Also - Why doesn't FCA give any warning on when they'll stop taking orders? Seems unfair that you just have to guess. Especially in my case when my color was being discontinued. The color choice is important.
Just like in any business with the announcement of a newer product, I imagine people would stop buying the jeep if they knew a new MY was coming out and knew the exact date. Then the question is why bother having a month of slumped sales? Why spend XX for a MY that is obsolete in a few week when XX more gets you the new one. Also, some could argue the newer MY is better because even though the price jumps there are several instances where certain features become standard, or you get more features not previously available. So the price jump is a wash or worth it.Also - Why doesn't FCA give any warning on when they'll stop taking orders? Seems unfair that you just have to guess.

For real? I actually had no idea? So you're saying even if I placed an order for a 2020 Wrangler on say June 4, if it's delivered in August I wouldn't get the "Employee Pricing Plus"?Also worth noting so you're aware... If you are going to build one do not focus on rebates currently available. You don't get them unless they are still there when you take delivery and most rebates are only valid for a short time (maybe a month). When ordering the only thing you know for sure is that you lock in the price as it stands that day. Typically the prices of the Wrangler will see many months in a row of incremental increases. What you get for discounts/rebates is whatever is there and available the day you take delivery and sign the papers, not what was available the day you ordered.
Yes, all that makes sense. I see why they would do that, but on the flip-side it stopped me from buying and/or at least delayed. I should have checked the forum for this but I thought the year would have ended in July.Just like in any business with the announcement of a newer product, I imagine people would stop buying the jeep if they knew a new MY was coming out and knew the exact date.
