'22 GCL Overland 4x4 V8 tech group holding up order?

So I ordered a '22 GCL Overland 4x4 V8 mid-January and on the original order the dealer messed up and left off one of the tech packages. They immediately ordered another and included both tech groups. Got VINs for both the next day. The screwed up vehicle arrived at the dealership yesterday. Absolutely no update on my actual vehicle other than "scheduled". Anybody heard anything about a particular tech group (Pro Tech or Luxury) or particular component of either holding up production?

That is exactly why I took a loaded in transit Overland. It had all the tech and the air suspension. There are many Summit Reserves around with real wheel drive and no air suspension. That is mind blowing, anyone in that situation that took half a Jeep has NO bragging rights. FCA has no components for the best features. Can you imaging getting a sticker credit for $750. and NO air suspension. Are they insane? What about the guy who accepts this and buys the SUV. If its only worth a $750.00 credit why when the break down it costs 2-6K to repair? I couldn't fit the Wagoneer in my garage, however I am very happy with my Jeep just the way I would have ordered it. I had it 11 days after giving my down payment.
I added the OEM side steps and the 8 year/125K Maxicare along with custom Lloyd Lux carpeted mats for all three rows.

Yeah, I had a salesman at a different lot the other day tell me I should have just ordered a Summit, "It's got upgraded leather and it's really pretty" he says. Uh... I guess he thought V8, 4x4 with air ride and factory tow capability wasn't important to me... And for $10k more! No thank you! Ugh. I guess I'll have to expand my search and see what I can find.

Aren't all those things available on the Summit?

Assuming that when he said “tow capability“ he meant the ability to tow rather than the presence of front tow hooks, yes. The 4x4 Summit includes as standard both the air suspension and the same trailer-tow package as the Overland. And the price difference between 4x4 V8 Overland and Summit configured the way he wants should be a bit under $2K, not $10K. Even the Summit Reserve should only cost a bit less than $7K more than the Overland.

(You do lose the front tow hooks with the Summit, though.)

Is the off road package now available on the Overland? Last I tried, various dealers said they couldn't order it.

That is not true.
There are NO Summit Reserves without air suspension, 2021 or 2022.
The Quadra lift was never deleted on Summit Reserves and/or V8.

If you meant Summit, then yes it was deleted on 2021 for a couple of months from August to October, then added back when 2022 production started.

This was a 1st google and I pulled this up.

Not sure about air suspension deletes, but @JeepGeek had an ELSD delete on his SR V8 in early March:

Ok, so, for some reason ESLD is scarce and is also preventing the availability of the Off Road package.

On thing is an article saying its being deleted, the other is reality.
Anyone that has ordered or purchased a SR 2021 or 2022 has the Air suspension.
All V8's also have it, Overland or Summit.
And nowadays the V6 Overland and Summit have it back after it was deleted for a while in 2021.

Jeep website even as of today only shows "Normal Duty Suspension" when Building a vehicle, but that means nothing if your actual vehicle comes with the QL.
