I think it would be helpful for those of us waiting for Overlands with the tech package to know the status of others. I ordered mine more than three weeks ago (9/18). Also ordered mineral grey and saddle interior. Still in "C" status. I called jeep customer service today and they had no idea when it would go into production or be delivered. Anyone with the tech package in anything other than "C" status. :mad:

Nov is almost over.....I'm still D status. Dealer says I'll have it by dec 15th. Haha, yeah right.
 
#293 ·
Finally...D1 with est ship date 12/13. Hopefully it will be in my driveway before Christmas. It's been only 9 weeks and 2 days since the order was placed. My wife told the salesman that they better put a big Red Bow on it. Hohoho! :)

Seems like a whole lot of Overlands have an estimated delivery of 12/13. Starting to think that is a made up date, can't be that many Overlands getting delivered to different parts of the country on the same day.

I'd be happy just to have a build date....ordered 9/21 and haven't heard a word since.
 
#300 ·
I ordered on the 9/20 and was just told the est ship date as of today is 12/06 but I on our tracking sheet the est to dealer was the 12/11 but do not see that happening. But from the tracking sheet looks like it takes about 20 days so will have figures crossed for it to only be 18days have it for x-mass that would be a great gift to myself.

This seems to be the unofficial "jeeps in waiting" thread......so I thought I would add my words of wisdom to the fray. My dealer gave me some dates that seem to be pretty accurate at time of my order.

Mine was built and ready to ship on the 23 of Nov....and had a estimated delivery of 11/30. Since then it has traveled to within 100 miles here in MN via rail. (So....in 6 days it made it out of Detroit and to MN....not too bad IMO.) It's running pretty close to the original estimated dates. ;)

I'm looking for delivery by the end of the week. :thumbsup:
 
#302 ·
My estimated delivery date just got bumped from 11/29 to 12/13. Still sitting in D1 status. I suspect the first time I'll see mine is passing by it on the train as I'm driving from Colorado to Wisconsin in late December.

Here are a few Tech Pkg Pics.
Wow! That's the foward-looking sensor in pic #3? Looks like a cyclops :eek:
I'm getting the same package. I can see now why they say removing the front facia is more complicated with that option. Basically, if we want to do it, we'd have to remove that sensor too.

Thanks for posting the pics, and congrats!
 
#309 ·
With the ORAII and tech I was confused as to what I was seeing under the grill. Tow hooks and Im assuming the tech sensor. It look like a simple fender bender is gonna be pricey to fix that sensor. Second guessing my tech order decision since that protrudes quite a bit.
 
#310 ·
Have you located rear sensor yet? Pic? What does warning light in mirror look like?

Errrrrrr.......maybe I should just wait two days and I can see for myself. (grin)

My Suburban has rear blind spot (radar) sensors. They are located underneath the rear bumper cover on the sides. They are kinda bulky about 1 inch thick 12"x4" in size. I'm only guessing that the GC has something similar.
 
#312 ·
OK...thanks. I will know what to look for. This tech package is new to me.

Are you trading that Sub for the GC? Having owned a Sub in the past....these are so much nicer to drive IMO. Your new ride looks to have a similar vehicle appearance to mine....you must have good taste. :lol:
 
#313 ·
Keeping the Suburban. It's our travel/tow vehicle. Two adults, one kid and three dogs. We fill it to the brim and don't plan on selling it anytime soon. It has everything we want/need except the navigation and mapping from the factory SUCKS.

We are trading in my wifes TSX for the Grand Cherokee for her to drive. She needed something bigger than the TSX to haul our newborn son around and the rest of her junk but the Suburban is too big for her to drive around everyday and I refuse to buy a mini-van.

A jeep specialist called me today and said there has been "movement" with my jeep within the last 8 days....I have no idea what that means. I told her that wasn't really telling me anything. She assured me that I would have it before christmas and even stated that there is absoultely no reason it should be taking this long. At one point she made a reference to how I ordered everything you can get on one like it was a bad thing and my fault it's taking this long. I said this was the first time I've order a fully loaded truck and the car company actually complained about it. Surely GM or Ford would be ok with taking my 46,000 I asked.

She said she expected within the next 7 days it to be built and given a est delivery date. We talked for about 45mins, mostly me letting her know that I am very unhappy with how this has went so far!

I will give it to them, they are extremely nice and understanding, just don't know what the crap is going on. To be honest on one hand I feel like it got more answers today then any other time but on the other I feel like I still don't know anything new.

We will see I guess....

I'm with you Jonesark! Your comments are true, I went through it too.

I know you ordered the same day I did (9/21) and have no info in Milous' tracking yet. Hope you get into production within the week!

Ours is at the dealership! We pick it up today! :D

Congrats! I was torn between the black interior and the saddle. I'm afraid I would have liked the black better.... Can't wait to hear your review of the tech package, especially the forward collision warning. :thumbsup:

I called today to make good on my promise that if I did not have a build date and delivery date by December 1st I was going to cancel my order.....Well let's just say the dealer wasn't happy at all. He actually said he wouldn't do it. I asked him the following question "Do you think American Express will side with a Platinum Charge Card holder or you especially considering you altered the contract and put in plain english order to take 6-8 weeks."

Now he swears up and down he will have complete information for me no later than this Friday. I guess we will see. I wasn't trying to be an ass to the guy, but come on people. This is getting pretty ridiculous, I don't want a miracle, I want to have accurate and truthful information.

Edit: Probably should mention that the deposit was paid with my AMEX and I Ordered 9/21 or so.

^^good for you. I told them yesterday I'd give them 7-10 more days to me a est delivery date....jeep that is. I really, really want a grand but I can't see waiting anymore than 3-4 months. I've never had a order take this long...but then again I've never ordered from Chrysler.
