*IMPORTANT* Ordering Information Nov. 2019

[Scientific_Explorer]

Just finished ordering a 2020 Rubicon and was given very important information for those looking to factory order a Jeep in the near future. I have been dealing with Leon Travis from Criswell and I have to say, everything I have read on this forum about how easy he makes the ordering process and the incredible discount he gives forum members/ TreadLightly affiliates is true. I would highly recommend if possible, doing business with him. He also shared a very important piece of information to me that he was sent directly from FCA that I would like to relay to this forum since it has already been a wealth of knowledge for me. FCA will not be allowing factory orders from “after NOVEMBER 12th through JANUARY 7, 2020”. This is due to them prioritizing the new diesel option. If anyone is planning on making an order in the near future I would suggest that you begin the process sooner than later. For those interested in Rubicons FCA also just made the Remote Proximity Keyless Entry, LED, and Safety Group a mandatory option.

just ordered my willys yesterday - phew! I just wish the proximity keyless remote was an option at all!

Wow. I am finishing collecting quotes now and was hoping to order next week.

Change of plans I guess...

If they really made those three things that are a little over $2500 mandatory then I’m out. I want nearly the cheapest Rubicon you can get and I can’t stand all their options and pricing!

Good info thanks for sharing re non-build dates. During this time, I'm sure it help reduce current dealer inventory as well.

Yeah and they have not updated their vehicle builder on the website so I thought on some of my original quotes the dealers were just playing games until I had verified with Criswell. I had originally tried getting my build sheet together on 11/5 but FCA’s entire system was down for two days so they couldn’t build it until it was back up (I’m assuming to update the order forms to the new changes). And yeah I was pretty upset that I had missed the change by simply a week but I already planned on the LEDs so I only had to eat the price bump of $1400 from my initial build price msrp.

Glad this information was helpful! I know I would have been in utter disbelief if I went in to finally place my order and they told me no.

This only applies to factory orders, sold orders can still be placed, I just got off the phone with my dealer who is placing my order.

What is the difference?

My build sheet says “1-Sold Order” for the Scheduling Priority but in the Buying Order (dealerships sale form) under VIN it says “factory order”.

I brought the cut off up originally but the sales agent I was talking to said he had heard that orders were being shut off and hence he will make sure to get my order in today.

It was explained to me that factory orders for dealer inventory are not being accepted, orders that are sold can be placed.

Well better safe than sorry. Placed my order today.

What did you order? I'm holding out for Sarge Green, but my build sheet is completed.

Ive been trying to navigate the jeep build site all day. It is laggy and keeps freezing, won't scroll, etc, Maybe they're trying to discourage sold builds too??
