Who's Ordered a Cherokee?

I live in Texas, we don't worry about winter tires down here. We normally get 2 ice days a year and everyone stays home on those days.

haha should have read your avatar, lucky, must be nice to live in a winter free area of the US

Houston here, and our winters bottom out at maybe 40s at night. Days always warm up to the 60s or 70s... in Winter. After awhile you start to miss the snow and cool weather. Hey, Christmas is just not the same without some snow.

South Florida

You can disregard my question in your other post. Congrats!

My Trailhawk entered D1 status today with a tentative build date of September 23. That's too far away! They must be backed up.

sometimes people mention having their orders bumped up... maybe yours will to!

think that only happens when someone cancels which with the Cherokee will be less likely of happening since it's such a high demand vehicle.

not that winter is a problem for the CHerokee :sleepy:

Gee. It took TWO WEEKS but I finally got my order confirmation email. I was starting to wonder. Now if VOTS only had some actual data to display instead of a busy spinner...

Hey, I got data now too. And status indicates: Production Scheduled

Looks like I really did buy a new Jeep.

They have cancelled winter this year due to lack of enthusiasm

I have a feeling winter is going to be long and painful this year.

yeah it's not going to be nice, i wont be surprised if some members report they had to get their cherokee's pulled out or had to abandon them

I thought the Destination AT tires were pretty good for all season use. Is that not the case? Are they not suitable for snow?

Depends on where you live. Keep in mind they are All-Season Tires, not Snow tires. If you are from Fargo North Dakota, you may want to purchase separate snow tires.

I think anyone driving in any city, town, county that gets snow should have winter tires. The initial investment of having all season or summer tires for warm weather and winter tires for winter is well worth it.

It's been proven that with winter tires you will be in far more control of your vehicle in winter than with running all seasons.

order progressing?

Has anyone had their order progress from "scheduled" to the production sequence? Today marks 4 weeks since my first (and only) email from Chrysler (considerably longer than "a few days to 2 weeks" they predicted as the normal delay). Getting antsy now!

Mine went from the D status to D1 (Sequenced for production) almost 3 weeks ago. It has not entered production yet.
