Sounds like that order goes through Fleet sales.. that's a whole different can of worms.. :(

My semi-reliable fleet info is showing 8-12 weeks, with the following items on restriction/delay/hold:

  • (PT6) Brownstone Light Pearl Coat
  • (PTW) Luxury Brown Pearl Coat
  • (PAR) Maximum Steel Metallic Clear Coat
  • (WF3) 20” Polished aluminum wheels

Well I have none of those! Mine is silver with the blacktop package.
 
My understanding of orders going into the assembly plant is that genuine retail customer orders are at the top of the list.. everything else gets bumped.. so I don't know where Enterprise fleet is in the pecking order..

I know of at least two cases where a dealer took a "customer order" but actually ordered something the dealer wanted to put on his lot... and then told the original customer "oh they built the wrong stuff, we'll have to order again.."
 
I called Chrysler and found out it took my dealer a week to finalize my order with the plant.
4/1 order was placed
4/4 D1 waiting for parts
4/12 still D1 waiting for parts

D1 is ready to roll, parts that aren't in-house are committed and heading for the plant.

D1 should have an estimated ship or delivery date
 
Black R/T Black Top with Tec, Sunroof, DVD and Tow. There were a lot of inventory with those packages but the wife and I wanted the 60/40 split 2nd row for when we have our child. So the second row is what set us back and had to order.

Funny because we have that seating now in our Enclave and spec'd ours with the full bench. It stinks when we have both of our boys, the two of us and if one more person wants to go, they have to climb into the back. I like the look of the buckets better but want the 7th seat more.
 
Yeah about that.... I was told 4/18 but I don't think that was right. 17 days from order to delivery. It would be nice but I'll be happy if I take delivery by June.
17 days order to ship is reasonable.. maybe that's the date they spit out..
 
Our Family decided to get a 2016 RT for my wife. So we went to the dealer to order a RT since her only requirement was second row bench and the Tech package, they could not locate one within 300 miles from Kentucky. The dealer said that May 6th was the last date to put in a order for the 2016 models and said if you order the 2017 model in couple of months the cost will be 3% more.

Is the dealer just pushing me to order one now. I will gladly wait for a 2017 model if Dodge is going to make one. If dodge decides to retire the Durango, I dont want to miss out on a RT and be forced to drive our second choice Honda Pilot :doh:.

What are your thoughts/suggestions...

That can't be right... They've only been building the 2016's for a few months.

According to the Airfleet website, your dealer is correct on the final order date. Airfleet has been accurate in the past.
May 6 - 2016 final order date
June 6 - 2017 order banks open
A 3% price increase for 2017 seems high, but a small increase is certainly possible.

4/20 D1 waiting for parts
hm. That is a long time to sit in D1..

If you are in D1, AFAIK the plant knows to within a couple of days when your rig will hit the line.. so waiting for parts or not, there should be an estimated ship date..
 
Growing impatient, I signed up for the vehicle tracking on the Jeep Garage Forum. We'll see if they have any more info.

Update: Worth every Penny. My build is in KZ status. Ingate/Rebay at Facility Detroit MI

Estimated Delivery 5/3-5/9

Is the information from the Jeep Garage more accurate than contacting costumer service? From other posts it seems you can get a really comprehensive breakdown with a Level IV membership, but I'm wondering if that actual status is more reliable than costumer service would be. Thanks.

Thanks
