4/11/18 UPDATE: 2018-2019 MY Changeover (Fleet)
2018 MY Fleet Order Cutoff Date: 7/19/18
2018 MY Build Out Dates: 10/27/18
2018 MY Final PSP Dates: 095
Estimated 2019 MY Order Acceptance Date: 9/13/18
Estimated 2019 MY Job 1 Date: 10/29/18
=============================================================================================
Today, we're sharing a major update on the 2018-19 JL/JLU Wrangler timeline along with some interesting notes. The dates listed are straight from FCA but I'm going to emphasize that a few of the items below required interpretation (and assumptions) based on the info and materials presented. By and large however, what you see here is what is currently planned by corporate.
Please note that as of last week FCA is determining the feasibility of pulling forward the 11/13/17 launch date ahead by two weeks to 10/30/17. If this happens the other dates will be impacted as well.
As always, events further out in time are more likely to change. I would guess the 3.0L diesel date will be pushed ahead in time from what is shown in this chart, but that remains to be seen.
* The following chart is not official and has been created by JLWF to illustrate our info.
The timing of the 3.6L ESS and 2.0L BSG seems to align with the information we posted a few days prior regarding the JL's entry engine. I've copied it here for reference:
Judging by the info we have, the 3.6L manual will be the entry level base engine / transmission. If you are unfamiliar with the current JK packagaging here is an illustration:
Dealers were allowed to place JL ghost orders (no pricing) at the FCA dealer meeting we reported. Assuming what FCA previewed reflects the final packaging, it showed:

- 3.6L manual will be the $0 cost entry configuration (i.e. 23G).
- 2.0L (auto only) will be the 24G upcharge. On the JK, the 24G simply adds auto for $1400. Remains to be seen what a new engine/auto will add here.
- 3.6L auto will be a clickable option on all trims and door configurations, like adding a tech group or hard top.
