Long time lurker here...
There has been a LONG wait for me replacing my current ride, the '94 ZJ Grand Cherokee I special-ordered oh so long ago.
My current plan is to special-order a loaded WL Grand Cherokee Overland (2-row), but I am waiting until I can get what I want for my vehicle. This is my current configuration: Hydro Blue Pearl Coat Exterior Paint (currently unavailable on dealership site); Bright Side Steps; 10.1" NAV Display; Passenger Display; Advanced Pro Tech Group III; Luxury Tech Group IV; Off-Road Group (currently unavailable on dealership site) and 5.7L V8 HEMI engine (evidently not available). Also my vehicle will be purchased using the FCA Affiliate Rewards Program that currently doesn't include the 2-row Grand Cherokee, as of the February 18, 2022 update.
So I will continue waiting... My ZJ has been / continues to be a terrific / dependable vehicle (knocking on wood) that is 100% owner serviceable. I will miss that aspect most when changing to the WL. I personally rebuilt everything on my ZJ.
IMO the thing I dislike most about the WL are the colors. WHY do we need four shades of black? They eliminated THE BEST COLOR, for only the Grand Cherokee, retaining it for all other models, the Sting-Gray Clear Coat Exterior Paint. Jeep, please restore Sting-Gray to the Grand Cherokee.
Sooo, if the intentionally destroyed supply chain remains effed up, then I will continue waiting, perhaps until the next model year. If so, then maybe they will change to include better / different colors. I am ready to order whenever Jeep is ready.
