fabbrisd1 has said the release date will be in November with end of October still a possibility.

Brunswick and the shipping company MB uses to move the G Wagon’s is an absolute SH*T Show. Mine was picked up a week ago, and was told 24-48 hours to deliver to Tampa. Now, it’s not supposed to get there until Wednesday. The shipping company is awful to work with. Brunswick to Tampa is a 4 hour drive. AWFUL to deal with.

What do they do if the car arrives at the dealership before the US release date?

This G-Wagen is a 2020 - and as "usual" most Florida dealer's know how to tell TALL TALES to make up for the fact that they don't lift a finger to follow up..

Get your sales guy to give you the "vessel" name and you can track the ship! My build date was late Aug or early Sept.

My understanding is that cars are held at VPC if they arrive early until the official release date, then they are released to dealers.

So if a 2021 is on a boat now, it should still be a bit until the dealer sees it.

That’s what happened for 2019 and 2020.

EJKaufman: very cool! I thought I was a November build but my dealer said it was in October. Pleasantly surprised.

Correct. I remember back in Oct. 2019 when I wanted to take a test drive of a new 2020 and the dealer told me they would not get it until the first week of Dec. when they were released to all of the dealers, which was the case.

Here is what my dealer told me today for my Sep 3rd building date.

"The car is scheduled to dock at the port on October 2
nd. MBUSA hasn’t announced when the new MY21 will be officially launched. Hopefully it will be soon."


If MBUSA released the new model in December, my truck have to stay in the dock for two months? Hopefully, they have the interior parking aviliable.

I doubt it. Do a Google Map search for Mercedes Brunswick VPC and see their parking lots.
edit: from google earth, whatever date the shot was taken, there are hundreds of G-wagens all lined up.

I like how you can easily see the red ones. Otherwise a sea of boring grey/black/white

Same here! Originally I was first decade of November but then my dealer got me moved up to third decade of October so I was happy! Ensures we should be driving our new trucks by the first week or two of December latest 😁

We can make this an unofficial MY2021 tracking thread. First week of December would be wonderful EJ!

My build was locked officially to red yesterday, although I bet no changes were probably allowed for the week prior to that. If you have a November build need to make sure you have everything all set!

It won't. Mercedes cannot release a car from the port until the actual release date.

Several threads on the topic, including this one...did you read it? Based on past years it will be December.
