JL Wrangler Build and Price Configurator now available on Jeep.com!

[JDMRN81]

If you're going to talk "upgrades" a stock JL vs stock JK is no comparison. It's not just check boxes, how about everything that comes built in. What value do you attribute to better ride quality, transmissions, interior, engine, lighter top and on and on. Not sure why no one focuses on these when talking price. They increase prices year to year even for no or tiny incremental changes. There's a lot baked into the JL that more than account for the price gap.

That's totally understandable, but are these newer "upgrades" worth that price difference? To me no, but if you and others are willing to pay that then go for it.

Still debating between the upgraded Rubi wheels... Would need to see them in person including Sting-Gray (might be too trendy)

Absolutely and I think many (not just on here) will agree. You can easily swap out fenders and tops on a JK or JL but we're paying for all the engineering and development that goes into a new redesign. Engines/trans/interior that give us more power, mpg, better driving mechanics, comfort, offroad ability out of the box. It's a huge list of stuff that only the OEM can upgrade. I'll take all those over cosmetic changes like color top/fenders any day

The things that draw me to the JLU/JT are better economy and power, better road manners (including noise at highway speeds), rear seating comfort. These are all simply deal killers for any thoughts on buying a used JK.

$48,705 for a loaded Sahara. This scares me since I want the Diesel. I am excited but thinking this car is VERY expensive.

What the heck is "Jeep Wave Equipped"?

A very special way for Jeep to make more money. Every Jeep has a holographic hand that waves at other Jeeps(So I don't feel stupid for waving at people that never wave back.)

Here's Mine! Love how the configurator now lets you remove the top and even the doors! Tough choice on the wheels, but I'll take a set of Machined Moab's please.

Do they have one with a single finger wave?

The Wrangler is priced more as a lifestyle vehicle now than ever. When I build out each model to my spec and "lightly" -meaning minimal options- it's comes out being a grand or so ahead of the JK, which was already expensive. Still want one, but I have a few years to go, so I should have even more options to finagle making my JL dreams come true. I think most should be able to make it work just like they did on the JK, you'll just have to exercise more discretion when it comes to how you spec your JL out.

I'd pay extra for that!
