Silver, just for the maintenance purposes. If it was a smaller car, like a 2-door coupe, I may say black, but washing an SUV once a week is not any fun.

Figures the order date would be late. My lease is up on April 29th so I will have to extend it for 6 months at a ridiculous increase in monthly payments. Otherwise I would be ordering on the 8th.

Scottina06

03-02-2010, 02:54 PM

I dont think they start making them till may 10. I could be off a couple days...but its in the info sticky

Went down to the dealership at 9:00 AM, my salesman said the 2011 Grand Cherokee was still not up on the website for ordering so he took down all of the info on what I wanted and said he would order it as soon as he can......it's 5:15 and I still don't have a Vehicle Order Number....

2011JGC

03-08-2010, 06:48 PM

Got a call around 8:30 this evening fom the dealership.....supposedly the order bank is not open for the 2011 yet....just wondering if they are blowing smoke or if this is true....anyone else try ordering today?

Marlin

03-08-2010, 06:54 PM

I will not buy the first of a new model. regardless, we're probably 6 months to a year away from WKII release over here in Australia. They have a BUNCH of WK's still to move, heck, they STILL have brand new 2007 plated SRT8's available! lolol (popular things they are...... NOT!!)

Scottina06

03-08-2010, 07:28 PM

really...I have to set in, drive etc etc before I can make a decision

Marlin

03-08-2010, 08:13 PM

Me too for sure! And I'd not want an early production example, give them some time to iron out the production line bugs :)

I agree, I bought a 2005 rocky mountain before my 06 Limited. My 05 suffered from the dreaded "I was just driving and the car died" problem. Other than a few starters, my 06 has been much more reliable. I will wait to buy a litely used 2012 in 2013. Still hoping for the SRT8 though.

03-09-2010, 03:21 PM

Too rich for me, my 05' is finally paid off in June so I plan to drive that while its still under the power train warranty which will be another 2 years or so unless I can find a better paying job then i'd go 2010 SRT or wait till 2012-13 when the new SRT comes out although the Challengers and new Mustangs are tempting. Im worried about all the new features they are packing into the WK2 its just more things to go wrong and everyone knows when something can go wrong with a Chrysler it does especially electrical, I just want a big simple engine like the old days. I want fast and loud I could care less about airbag suspensions and heated this and that. :D

03-09-2010, 04:31 PM

then a 5.7 hemi laredo would be perfect^^^^^^

2011JGC

03-09-2010, 06:27 PM

Well it seems that I am the only one that attempted to order a WK2 on March 8th....still no Vehicle Order Number as of today. By the way I ordered a charger R/T when they first came out as well as a Charger SRT8 when they came out and never had any first model year problems.

Marlin

03-09-2010, 06:35 PM

^^^ Did you order one at full retail price or screw a deal?

03-09-2010, 07:42 PM

how id love to go out and drop 50k on a fully loaded wkll overland... but the WJ still runs just fine!

2011JGC

03-10-2010, 09:19 PM

It seems that as of March 10th the order banks are not open.....anyone have any other info???

05quadratrac

03-10-2010, 11:16 PM

then a 5.7 hemi laredo would be perfect^^^^^^

I would definitely go Hemi Laredo I think that would be pretty cool. Same power, less weight, and not all the bells and whistles I dont need but if I go Jeep again I think I will go SRT8. Hopefully I hear back from this job I just applied for because I could possibly buy a 2010 SRT later this year if I get a steadier income.

2011JGC

03-11-2010, 09:32 PM

Just an update....as of March 11th the order banks are still not open for the WK2.

The ordering date has been pushed back just a bit, they have been making final revisions for the option packages and pricing. Dealer training will start next week, which has to happen before the order banks can be opened. Should happen in the next couple weeks, they may decide to time it with the start of the NY auto show.

Scottina06

03-18-2010, 01:06 AM

let us know when you find out for sure Milous!

I got this update from my dealer....Order Banks open April 13th....Quadra Lift™ air suspension system and quadra drive II NOT available until july.

jeepster23

03-25-2010, 09:00 AM

wow i thought they may have been having problems with that quadra lift system. You are going to wait until July to orger right 2011JGC?

03-25-2010, 10:23 AM

Yeah...I will wait until the quadra lift and quadra drive II are available. I am kinda surprised that those two options are not available immediately....maybe Milous has better information:confused:

jeepster23

03-25-2010, 11:58 AM

Probaly has to with tweaking and making sure thier product is acceptible to ship out. I would rather have to wait knowing they tested and used all of their resources to make a quality product opposed to them rushing to meet a deadline and offering an inferior one. This could be for the better of all of us.

Scottina06

03-25-2010, 12:15 PM

also...it is a 2011 model that they were "planning" to release early. April is still very, very early for a 2011 model.

nek121328

03-25-2010, 02:06 PM

I'm waiting until November to order. Maybe there will be a blue exterior color option by then.

I wouldn't order until these are available, you are doing the right thing on holding out.

Thanks!:)

Marlin

03-28-2010, 03:33 PM

My gut feeling is they're having some issues with the Quadra-lift suspension. Fairly obvious really re the delay. If I wanted this option I would defiantely be waiting some time before ordering one.

Scottina06

03-28-2010, 03:42 PM

Milous said in another post they are reworking some of the packages, pricing and a few appearance things

Marlin

03-28-2010, 03:58 PM

Yeah I understand that, but that alone doesn't make a delay of releasing the Quadra-Lift, there must be underlying issues. Not that we'll hear the facts ;)

Is there going to be a Nav update or something after the new model comes out?

Matt

04-05-2010, 07:37 AM

Is there going to be a Nav update or something after the new model comes out?

IIRC, the initial nav system for the WK2 is either the ones they currently use or similar... and after a few months (later this year) they're going to introduce a new navigation that uses Garmin's GIU/mapping technology.

jeepster23

04-05-2010, 07:39 AM

Is there going to be a Nav update or something after the new model comes out?
Supposedly the new WK2 is going to launch with the same MYGIG unit that is found in current models but a new Nav unit by Garmin is going to be launched in late August early September for the WK2

EDIT Matt beat me to it

robjeep

04-05-2010, 07:43 AM

Thanks. That might be worth waiting a few months for.

Matt

04-05-2010, 07:48 AM

IMO, you really can't beat Garmin for navigation. If you're going to be using the nav a lot, or prefer a very easy-to-use interface, or just want the latest and greatest, I'd hold out for the new system.

Will be interesting to see how updates are applied to the Garmin unit, and at what cost. On my portable Garmin Nuvi I purchased a lifetime map option for $99, so the maps can easily be kept up-to-date for no additional charge. My wife's vehicle is DVD based and they want something like $250 every time you want new updated maps.

On hers you also can't make changes while driving, which you can do on the portable (passenger only, of course). ;)

I seriously doubt they will be using a DVD-based system. My guess is it will be HDD and updates can be implemented via USB drive. Just a guess though. I'm sure Milous could shed some light on this.

Lancez

if its Garmin HDD thing, i dont even need to pay them 99 bucks for update. thanks for the info

It will have a HDD plus a DVD slot for video playback and updates. Not sure if USB capabilities have been expanded.

The Overland comes with just about everything...the only options available are the backseat TV and tow package....which I included (I have twin 11 year olds so the TV is nice).

The agreement I have with the dealer is that it must have "the new Garmin Nav unit, the quadralift system, the QD II system, and the other options they were holding back" .

So the soonest it can start to be built is July 6th.......

Sounds awesome, can you share any pricing details? I would imagine MSRP?

Sorry but I have to ask,

Wow I am so glad you got the Overland with the added features. The Overland is hands down the most luxorious, best looking, and capable and in my opinion is not even in the same breath as the Laredo. Good Luck and hope the wait doesnt kill you.LOL

2011JGC

05-07-2010, 06:31 PM

Well the dealer had to cancel my order for the Overland since the factory would have built it without the quadralift system and the QD II system and would have issued a credit on the invoice. They were told to place the order later this month for a July build that will include the quadralift system and the QD II system......

Dealer called and read me an email from his District manager. Basically the Overland is going to be delayed again because of the quadralift system (Milous indicates its the Quadra Drive II that is causing the delay...Not available until JUly 26th) so the wait continues.....ps. Dark Charcoal Pearl has been delayed until June 28th
