My 2026 JLUR MT arrived at the dealership (Toledo › Lakeland, FL) today, 02-24-2026.

For the curious, below is the timing as pieced together through dealer/Jeep communications, as my vehicle never appeared on the tracker. Both the dealer & me kept getting "there is no information about this vehicle" messages, so they kept me updated.

• 12-24-2025 JLUR manual transmission ordered & VON received
• 12-27-2025 Received VIN from dealer
• 01-08-2026 Received Est. Ship Date of 02-17-2026 from dealer
• 01-14-2026 Received Notification that vehicle is Sequenced for production from dealer
• 01-29-2026 Received Confirmation that vehicle is Still Sequenced (Jeep email)
• 01-30-2026 Received Estimated Build Date of 02-02-2026 (Jeep email)
• 02-05-2026 Received info that vehicle was in E status (framing) from dealer
• 02-06-2026 Received info that vehicle had passed through F status (paint) and was currently listed in G status (trim) from dealer
• 02-10-2026 Build sheet & window sticker appeared online. Dealer called & said vehicle was expected to arrive at the Orlando rail yard (55 miles from dealership) on 02-18-2026 and to expect it at the dealership 2-3 days after
• 02-17-2026 Notified by dealer that train ETA was pushed a few days & now due to arrive at Orlando rail ramp on 02-21-2026
• 02-24-2026 Dealer called first thing. Jeep is at the dealership!

I'll be heading over to get it tomorrow—it's roughly 3.5 hours away. I'm stuck at work for the day, looking at Jeep photos online. Exactly 2 months from order to dealer arrival.

Picked up my JT from Lakeland today.
I spotted someone's new Rubicon.
Does this look familiar?

lolololol... Dude! That's my car! Literally. Thanks for the photo!

I opened a case with Jeep when the tracker never came alive. A guy named Shane sent occasional updates regarding my build. The dealer was always one step ahead and far more helpful though.

Greetings!

New member here but not new to Jeeps. I had a 2003 Rubicon way back when, and I'm about to order a 2 door Rubicon with the 35" package. However, due to also moving for work over the coming 2 months, I really need it to be delivered after 4/20.

Reading posts in this thread, seems they sometimes come super fast, and sometimes they take a little longer.


Do you think it's safe to order now and not have it show up in 4 weeks, for example? I know sometimes various models/specs/packages can take longer.

Thanks!

Some dealerships will allow you to store it for a few weeks.
Ask.

Tracker is junk. This is what it showed today when my new Jeep showed up at the actual dealership. Picking it up Friday!

Yeah, the tracker is no good—but that ride! Nice. Enjoy it!

This may be an unpopular opinion, but Stellantis needs to throw $1,000.00 in rebates on for every week I have to wait for my Jeep.

I hate to get nasty on these forums, and I apologize to the moderators for touching off a firestorm, but sometimes things need sayin'. :P

Thanks very much. It’s an “old school” version so some folks don’t appreciate how “bland” it is. But, that’s exactly why I love it. The granite crystal paint on my 2021 Willys is about as blingy as I can get with a Jeep.

Oh, I get it. Right on. Just picked mine up today—I debadged my 2022 Rubi. Prolly gonna do the same with this one.

I went with ‘41 as well… love the throwback color. Wish I had those sweet steely-look rims, but alas… I’m already out of cash (It’s a Jeep thing).

Cheers!

Ordered a 2dr Rubicon today.

It's been over 20 years since I had a Jeep, and I can't wait to get back into one. They've come a long way since my last one, a 2003 Rubicon.

Congrats, you'll love it. The JL is much more daily-able than the TJ so it doesn't have to be just a weekend toy or a compromise.
