In looking for more information about the various rail yards FCA ships new Jeeps through (part of the wait I suppose) I came across an FCA document outlining the requirements their contractors who ship vehicles are to adhere to...
I keep seeing posts here where people say the dealer is putting too much air in the tires - this is NOT correct, but instead the Jeeps are coming from the factory that way - and FCA is very specific that their contractors NOT change that pressure. So that means the Jeeps arrive at the dealer with those higher pressures - and most leave them that way because if they drop the pressure down, the tires are likely to get flat spots sitting on the dealer lot for extended periods of time. With this in mind, since most dealers seem to be leaving the pressures at that higher setting when delivering the vehicle to the customer, if you want the pressure lower (closer to the number on the tag), then be sure to let the dealer know...(or bring your own pressure gauge to delivery!)
