Got notification from Granger today that they have received my Jeep! Ordered 10/23. Waiting to see photos of it (hopefully tomorrow!) and I’m told I need to sign a purchase agreement, although I thought I’d already done that with my deposit back in October; maybe this is different. If we can get that figured out I may be flying to Des Moines this weekend!

I know XR seems to be taking longer. I'm not sure on the other options.

Hello All,
This is my first post, I ordered my Hydro Blue 392 XR on Oct. 25th.
The folks at Granger Motors have treated really well and have answered all my questions.
Well today I got my first email from US Customer Care welcoming me to the Jeep family.
So I guess things are starting to happen. I have no Idea how long it will be or status I'm in?
I'm not in a hurry, when it gets here it gets here.
The 392 is a retirement present to myself, so I'm excited about it and retiring in April!
Anyway just wanted to say Hello!

Same experience with Granger and same message received today. Does this mean that we moved from D to D1 status?

I got one too.
Zach,
My order was one of the progressing orders you posted on page three of this thread. Now my order is no longer on your last update of the list on this page. As a matter of fact, four of the orders from the first list are not on the new updated list. So what has happened to the dropped order listings?
Thanks

Ordered 1/21 and received Jeep Wave email (with Sean at Granger CC'd) from "US CUSTOMER CARE" with my VIN today. Jackie had already sent me a vin, and even then I had already gotten a vin from Jeep Chat, haha. No build date on the email (that would be crazy), but it's somethin!

Zach, do you know why some orders placed in the new year have gone to D1 while the earlier orders are still in D? thought you might be able to shed some light on this.

So I am the proud owner of a Sarge Green 392! I traveled with two of my sons last week to pick it up and drive it home. I wanted to share my experience so the rest of you know what to expect.
Communication with Granger was difficult as I prepared to fly to Iowa with two little boys and make a long trip home. I would get sporadic emails from generic Granger addresses with no ones name on it, so I had no idea who I was talking to. I had all sorts of questions that were relevant to financing, travel, preparation, accessories (asked several times for someone to please send me a few photos of the Jeep) that went unanswered for days. To be fair, the rep they assigned me, Jackie, was out for a while with a health issue, so she was who should have been helping me but wasn't present to do so. The problem I ran into was no one else was really willing to talk to me; I guess I wasn't their client so perhaps they didn't feel they had to, but not receiving any calls back from the multiple people the admin put me through to was frustrating, and it didn't feel great committing to a trip like this with so many unanswered questions. Having said all that, Cassie in finance spoke directly with my bank to get that part taken care of so I knew I could at least go pick it up, and Jackie did eventually email me when she got back in, including a few photos of the Jeep.
We left Thursday night and stayed at the Fairfield Inn near the airport; they have a free shuttle to take you to the hotel. Friday morning (it was like 12 below with the wind chill!) we took an Uber to Granger, which was about a half hour ride from the hotel.
We walked into the Jeep side of the dealer and asked for Jackie, and were told we needed to walk down to the Ford end of the dealership, as that is where they do the online sales transactions. Make sure when you come in to go directly to the Ford side and save yourself the time and the walk. I wish I'd taken a photo of the Jeep sitting there in front of the Ford building, it was kind of funny.
Jackie was there and greeted us and had most of our paperwork ready to go. She was very excited about the Jeep and said it was the first 392 they've had and it was a lot of fun; really nice young lady. She said the PDI had been done, fluids were all checked and tire pressures were to spec, and they filled it up with premium. I noticed that 12 additional miles had appeared on the odometer between Wednesday and Friday. Zach was there and I was hoping to meet him and thank him, but he was unavailable. We drove up to the Jeep building to finish up one thing with Cassie in finance (who was also lovely, and the deal was as promised) and we were on our way.
The first 100 miles were tough during break in; keeping this thing slow isn't easy! I started playing with the settings, pairing my phone, figuring out Apple CarPlay. Noted that the tires were actually at 45 pounds according to the TPMS, not the 37 indicated on the door; fixed that at the first stop for gas. We had a really nice drive, followed the engine break in procedures as I understand them, until we hit 300 miles and could really open her up a bit. Holy crap this thing can move, and the noises it makes are intoxicating! We drove to St Louis and visited the Arch, then kept on til we got to Nashville where we stayed with a friend. His house was outside the city in the hills; I almost felt bad for all the people listening to the performance exhaust echo through the valley as I would accelerate over and over again coming out of turns or going up hills. Almost.
Saturday we went into Nashville and the boys did some climbing at a cool spot called Climb, and then we headed home to Louisville. My last Jeep was a JK, and the ride and handling and refinement in the JL is a massive improvement. I had no issues with staying in the seat for such long stretches; it's really not a bad road trip vehicle at all. I'm starting to think it would be fun to drive out west and explore sometime, and now I'm not even a little concerned about the lengthy drive in a Jeep. It's definitely a climb up for my boys, so shorter folks or those with children should probably consider some sort of steps. I've got some RockSlide Engineering Gen 3 steps going in this week or next, which will help a lot. I bought the rubber tubing to put along the fenders and need to put that in, as I did get lots of little road debris in there on the drive home. The LED light package is terrific, way better than my last Jeep, and way better than my Ram as well. We had some sun yesterday and it was over 60, so I finally got to open the SkyOneTouch top and I really like that feature as well; even with all that canvas up there it's much quieter than my JK hardtop was. For those wondering, it has the new style seats, and has the 392 startup screen.
I've put over 1000 miles on it so far, and while I had a few frustrations with Granger they came through for me and I'd do it all again. I appreciate the opportunity, Zach!

@GPNinKY congrats! Glad everything worked out and you and your boys had a nice trip home! I was thinking buying the 392 out of state at the beginning but was also concerned that things may not work out smoothly due to I'll have a trade-in.
Thanks for confirming:
For those wondering, it has the new style seats, and has the 392 startup screen.

Thank you @GPNinKY for the detail of your experience. Very helpful for those of us on the wait list for our 392's to be built/delivered and glad it all worked out well for you in the end. By your first 1000 mile experience, it sounds like its well worth the wait!
{Hydro Blue XR, ordered back on 10/21/21 from Granger, hopeful Jeep gets to building the XRs soon!}
