I would think you can get a new Wrangler within your budget.
Thank you! I will read it. But my pricing on Jeep.com has me way over $40k even with a 5% discount. And I'm hearing 3-6 months, which is not an option for me. I will still check it out though, thanks again...
Food for thought, not sure if it's just our area or if it's nationwide, but lead times right now for orders are just a bit shorter for our store in particular, more like 8-12 weeks (manual trans is the exception right now with the recall). Not a big cut in time, but every bit counts, when you're waiting for your perfect Jeep!
Yes indeed, thank you!
Of course! Let me know if I can help with anything, I can always get a window sticker for any pre-owned Jeep you may be looking at, if you're having any trouble getting ahold of one, or just to answer questions
It’s been five years for the 2.0T, with no significant complaints, even on high mile 2018s, and was used in other vehicles for years before that. How many years does it take to become “proven?”
Technically, eight years. Alfa got the 2.0T engine beginning in 2016; our Jeeps, two years later.
James, I would think by now that the prevailing opinion is that it’s now “proven.”
ours is a 2.0 Willys that has been great. for our needs, it's perfect. not looking to turn it into a monster machine (might put slightly larger tires on it, but nothing crazy). the Willys isn't nearly as posh as the Rubicon, but it's what we wanted......basic Jeep, but not as basic as a Wrangler Sport. if you do plan on building it up more that "basic" I would go with the Rubicon. am also please with the 2.0 engine so far.
Agreed. I added my pinch of clarity (8 years vs. 5) because I do believe the 2.0T is a safe bet.
With modern synthetic oils, etc, and cooling systems, and also the performance history, I have high confidence in the entire powertrain - even though it’s DI. The engine, after all, is designed for the higher pressures of a twin-spooled blower, whereas the 3.6 is not. Adding a turbo or supercharger to a 3.6 would be a HUGE mistake.
