Nice. If I knew my sales manager personally I think he might have ended that relationship. Lol
Ohh I already know he might be sick of me by now. I'm trying my best to stay cool but it's on the edge now lmao. We went to high school together

I also didn't put a deposit. You shouldn't have to! The way the car market is right now if you change your mind chances are they'll make more money on it anyways lol!
I had looked into the Tahoe's as well, love the new Duramax although not proven(but hey that's what warranty is for). I looked at a few but at almost $10k+ over the Durango it didn't justify it. I feel like I would have a better time driving the TnG too. But I mean if I don't end up getting the Durango by time my wife's lease is due in October (i think is the latest we can have it) I may have to cancel and just turn her car in for an Atlas(currently has a Tiguan) or something. Don't want to lol but financially would make sense.

Man this is just so frustrating. My dealer texted me this morning my expected ship of 7/24 just changed to 8/23. And then proceeded to send me pics of a nice new Grand Cherokee they have on the lot. I give him credit for trying lol, but no.
A month difference lmao. Yeah I am waiting to find out if mine changed or not. It was supposed to start building on the 19th apparently with a estimated ship date of the 23rd.
Got a call from my dealership, yes the plant is down till the 9th of August and they gave me the option to cancel. Going on week 11. Now even much longer wait. Might just say keep it and move onto something else. I really want that tow and go but idk if I wanna wait any longer.

If you currently have a vehicle then just wait it out I guess. I kind of screwed myself I already turned in my truck, I mean it was smart because I cashed out nicely on it. But now I have my wife's lease to use only, luckily she works from home. But she's to excited for me to cancel she has always wanted a Durango and the tow n go fits my needs and budget. I will wait! I am just hoping the extra wait can take some of the edge off of the pricing when it comes down to the terms. Would be amazing if it gets discounted for technically being a year older haha.
From what I was told from 2 different dealers, the price won't change. It's not their fault that it is happening. 2021 cars are gonna be built all year because of how far behind. Look at used cars, the prices are crazy and people will buy it, so why discount the new ones. It's still new, just not as new as we would want it lol

Well of course they will say that especially if its something not being done at the moment. I got it cheap enough so I am fine with it but I always enjoy a good negotiation. I got time, literally no other option in that price range sadly so they got me.
I didn't even talk about pricing. They said to me same price or lower payment I said then order it. I didn't put anything down for it so I'm okay.

Looking for some encouragement here... sat down with my local dealer April 30 to order a R/T, Tow n Go, few other small options. Order didn't get picked up by Dodge until May 24. Been getting the standard updates from Dodge "it'll be in production soon". Just spoke to my dealer today (who didn't even know about the factory shutdown) and they said to expect it on their lot in middle of September... Went with the Durango because the of the amazing capacity of the Tow n Go option, we have a small-ish travel trailer and wanted to take it on a few trips this summer. Have alredy been forced to cancel some of those plans... Unfortunately, I'm not finding much alternative as all dealer stock within a reasonable distance is extremely limited and pricey. Small saving grace is I have a purchase agreement at a very competitive price.
Yeah it sucks man. I'm on the edge to just cancel it and find something else. I really want it but then again, I have been waiting since may 15th, was told 7 to 9 weeks, and now here we are at week 10 and no updates or sign of it. Iv been car shopping for a different vehicle for the past week. If I can get a good deal on something else, I might just do it.

It is what it is! Economy and chip shortage is going through a phase lol. You either find a TnG at a dealer and pay the markup, or deal with the same situation on other brands. It’s not just a dodge thing. It’s beyond them. They did fail to have extra chips and etc like other brands but that’s business. The economy right now is all about timing if you want to save/make a buck.
This today after ordering in February…. Note that it was in D status months ago and fell backwards to C. Not sure what to make of the odds…
Good timing on the update, it has now progressed to D status. That gives it a 93% chance of getting built. There has been a lot of turmoil at the plant. In addition to the chip shortage and other supply chain issues the plant was flooded a couple of weeks ago in a heavy downpour that also put several thousand already built vehicles under water. It’s tough to say when but my sense is that it WILL get built.

There is a list for the codes would have to find the thread on it.
I guess they’re rolling out updates. I finally got a build date of 9/4! Wow crazy! But it’s progress I guess. That was from my dealer too not the chat. I’ll check on Monday with chat.

Order Status Codes
You'll hear us talking about "order status" in the threads where people are getting excited about their newly-ordered D.. The order status codes give the state of the vehicle inside FCAs system, and can be gotten from Customer Service, your dealer, or places like jeepgarage if you have a certain...

9/4... holy hell man. I just messaged my dealer now to check tomorrow for me. My build Date was the week of the 19th of July. And estimated ship date of the 23rd.

Yup you’d probably get a better update through the chat. As I mentioned above at this point it’s luck of the draw, all companies are going through it aside from ones that had extra chips on hand. We just gotta ride the wave, and be glad we don’t pay any markup or deal with any dealer schemes lol!

so wife and i pulled the trigger last night after she test drove a demo r/t at the dealer. went ahead and ordered with the options we wanted, which apparently the dealer will put in today. i didn't get a whole lot of good vibes about the potential wait time or luck-of-the-draw but but wifey wants wifey gets
it's a shame because i was able to locate one with every option we wanted within 50 miles from us but it had the dual stripes, which she didn't want in the least. i told her the next closest one was about 200 miles away, and every color seemed to be black
so i guess this will be the first post to chronicle this purchase
so we went with the r/t, awd, TnG (i had to have that), blacktop, tech group, premium interior, upgraded speakers, no console, and i cant remember which color she wanted but it was one of the grays.
this will be to replace her '18 grand cherokee overland. we were looking to get a 3rd row for a potential addition to the family, and it was between the durango r/t and explorer ST. had her test drive the explorer (used 2020 with 30,000 miles on it) and although she liked the ride enough to want it right then and there, i told her to test out the durango too. once she did she decided it was better
can't get over some of the things in the explorer that ruined it for us. although it had more power and better gas mileage, it certainly doesn't have the best tow rating. we tow a boat so for me i lean towards the side of overkill for towing ability. also pull an ~8,000lb camper with my 2500 with the 6.4 after i didn't want to use my 1500 hemi anymore. the center display literally looks like someone glued a tablet onto the dash, and vertical at that! and my phone with case did not fit on the explorer charger (works in the durango).
hopefully the process to get it isn't too excruciating and the used market stays up by the time we trade her GC in
