This. Check with your dealer if you really want to know if it is available.
I agree, check with your dealer. My order is for a 2018 Rubicon in Punkn' with the Tan Premium Soft Top. I ordered the 3.6 V6 standard engine and the order was accepted. Granted, I first ordered or tried to order I should say, my Rubicon on February 10th but the Tan Premium Soft Top wasn't available to order until April 11th. As of today, I am still waiting and my dealer says my Jeep most likely won't get scheduled until August. But at no point was the mention of requiring the turbo 2.0 ever mentioned. I uploaded a pic of my 2018 build so you can see how nice the Tan top looks.
No, nothing yet. My salesman says should be early August. I'm to the point where my excitement bubble has burst and am really thinking about shit canning the whole thing. In another month the 2019s will be available to order. I'm thinking of the immediate depreciation hit I would be taking on a one model year old vehicle as soon as I drive it off the lot.
I have to write this and voice my frustrations about the 2018 Wrangler. I started talking to my Jeep dealer way back in February about ordering a new 2018 Jeep Rubicon 2 door in Punkn' with the tan leather and tan Premium Soft Top. The color and the soft top were not available to order until April 11th but I patiently waited and finally was able to submit the order April 11th. Well, would you believe it (but I know many others are in the same boat) but here it is August 4th and there is still no change in my order from it's original 'C' status! I mean, I'm a reasonable guy and endured the forever wait but now, after six months of waiting and the 2019s are almost available to order, I'm very close to shit canning my fake deal. I'll probably lose my $500 deposit which would be a real rip off to me, after this BS wait. Add to everything, reading all of the writes about goofy steering issues, speedometers that read inaccurate speed when you are sitting still, etc., I really have my concern that I will end up with a Jeep that lives in the Jeep Service Department. Don't blame me, blame Jeep for the poor management of the roll out of the new Jeep. I'm just a customer, who in good faith, simply wanted to order the vehicle. I have a pristine 2013 10A Rubicon with only 17,400 miles on it and have had no issues at all with it. Is a fold down windshield and new instrument panel worth the risk? I know about all the other improvements here and there but again, do I want a Jeep that I would be sorry I bought? Add to that, I just read about the 2019 Challenger Hellcat Redeye with 797 unreal horsepower and am now thinking about ordering that car. Yes it is more money but I have it and the Jeep deal has really soured my outlook.
Just was informed by my salesman that my Jeep was finally scheduled for build on August 17th and today I was told it is finished and in transit to the dealer.
All the dealers here keep claiming the tan top cannot be ordered. ????????My Jeep has been built and is waiting for me! Finally! I ordered it on April 11th and because of availability delays, first was the Punkn' color, then the Cargo Management System, and finally the Tan Premium Soft Top, it took four months to build. I think it looks great. Waiting for the Tan Premium Soft Top was worth it, it looks so much better than the black soft top. I'm going to be moving to Tucson soon and this color combination works so much better in the intense sun that Arizona gets.
There was a point in time where it could, then couldn’t, the could etc. it was a waiting game. Some people got in and as you can tell and we’re allocated tan tops. Other people were called, through the dealer, and made aware that they had to change their tops from tan to black on their orders.
