So the ones this dealer in TN is getting were ordered in October 2025!! And they are just now getting a ship date!! It's wild. Anyway, I explained to them that there's too much risk in a $1,000 deposit on a Jeep that nobody has seen in person, none exist to test drive, we don't know whether...

I found a dealer in Tennessee with two Recons on order. This one would actually be a little closer to where I live in Kentucky. Not as much of a drive. So I inquired about their Recons and they said both of them are in JS status. They said that means "they are in storage". I can't imagine...

That's exactly the problem. Even the dealerships have been left in the dark. I've called at least a half-dozen dealerships in three different states. They all act like deer in headlights when I ask about Jeep Recon. It's frustrating. Jeep has teased this vehicle for over 3 years! It's been...

I got a message from a dealer in Ohio that has one coming that September 7th is the ship date. Sounds like a few Recons will be trickling in next month!

Yes, @JeepCares please give us some information on what in the world is going on with this vehicle. NO dealerships here in Kentucky know anything about it. Jeep Customer Care up in Michigan says ask your local dealer. Jeep social media pages show nothing about Recon. I searched AutoTrader...

I have tried and tried to explain to people on the Scout forum that 220 miles of range is because of the 33" A/T tires and the weight of the Jeep, which is a byproduct of building it strong enough to handle bashing around off road. Jeeps have been heavier than normal SUVs for decades because...

Okay, I've been trying to dig for information every week for the past six weeks. Here's what I've basically ascertained as of today. Jeep opened the order banks in July. That was the only month that the order banks were open. There are dealerships scattered about the country that do have some...

Yes, all Recons for this model year are defaulted to the Sky One Touch power top. And of course, the Moab trim level is the only one available for order. So that's why the MSRP realistically starts closer to $70,000. There was hope that the second model year would open up lower trim levels...

All the dealers I've contacted, including the highest volume selling dealer in the nation (Mark Dodge), says that there is zero information on this. So if you do actually get a VIN and build date, please report back to us.

I'm certain the R2 is really good. It's also really expensive, and they are intentionally screwing the lease deal on R2 to force people to "buy" them at over $1,000 per month. Hard pass....

It looks a lot like the Jeep Liberty KK models that were sold about 15 years ago. What it does not look like, at all, is the Ford Bronco. I have no idea where people get that from.

Interesting. We’ve seen a customer report here than his order is in “D” status. We’ve seen the guys at Jeep Jamboree already take delivery of theirs. One of my local dealers has a Fathom Blue one already ordered……and that’s supposed to be a late availability color! So I don’t know what Jeep...

With orders being taken and at least one delivery already confirmed, I'm surprised at how dead this forum is! I figured things would be heating up by now.

Jeep Jamboree on facebook received a Recon. I am assuming Jeep gave it to them for advertising purposes but I can’t confirm that. Anyhow, this is the first one in the hands of civilians that I’ve seen.

So here's what I'm running into. All the dealers here want a $1,000 deposit just to place the order. Nobody has even seen one of these vehicles in person yet, let alone driven one. Therefore, I don't know for certain if I'll like it or not. If I do like it I don't know if Stellantis will do...
