Rubicon-Hard to find

[walkerkm]

is it just me, or is it really hard to find a 2019 Rubicon 4 door, auto, with a 3.6...is there an issue? a back order? or are they super popular right now? Dealer did a 200 mile search and found 1 with the options I would want, but not my color choice. I did a nationwide search and found 4 not with what I would want...dealer said best to order, but what’s up?

Yep just place an order. For some reason, most 2019 Rubicons have the 2.0. But just place an order and get exactly what you want. Good luck

From what I’ve read in the forums and seen locally, most dealer lots are full of the 2.0s. Seems that there’s a push to sell those for some reason.

That’s all I’ve seen here in MA...all are 2.0

And from what I've seen, it's only the Rubicons that are afflicted with the 2.0. Sports and Sahara seem to be split on the 2.0/3.6.

Sounds like the mustang. I was in the market for a new mustang convertible, or slightly used, and 99% i found were the ecoboost 4 banger. Went to the dealership and thats all they had. No way id buy a new mustang without that badass coyote motor. For a mustang that sounds like a focus.

I just had to order mine too. Everywhere I looked, the Rubicons came equipped with the 2.0.

FCA is pushing the 2.0 HARD. Had to do a dealer search to find a 3.6 like 400mi away.

It’s because of the Federal Emissions standards. The 2.0 has a reported 2 mpg advantage over the 3.6, which means the more 2.0’s they sell, the higher their average mpg. This is the only way to keep producing such ineffecient fun vehicles like the wrangler in the age of overregulation.

I have the V6, but would have been fine with the 2.0. I just happened to find the V6 on the lot. . Its your jeep, so get what you want, but the 2.0 Turbos are great too.

I think I read somewhere on this forum that it's a CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) thing. The 2.0 has better fuel economy so they have to try selling more of those to meet federal standards/regulations for fuel economy, which of course is quite the challenge for a Wrangler!

[thread hijack] Please tell me that is your YJ in your avatar. Words cannot begin to express how much I love that. Jurassic Park came out when I was in 3rd grade and I saw it 6 times in the theater. Bought the VHS the day it came out. I can still see the VHS display as if I’d seen it this morning. If that is your YJ, kudos to you, sir. [/thread hijack]

It is indeed. I was in the 1st grade when I saw JP. I lived in Hawaii, and even got to see a JP Jeep sitting on a lot randomly. I also co-founded a (mostly Jeep) club called the Jurassic Park Motor Pool where we recreate replicas vehicles from the movies. Check us out, www.jpmotorpool.com

I am also buying a silver JL to attempt to make it look like the G Wagons from Jurassic World. Fun stuff.

You're the coolest person I've ever met, even though we've never met.

You sir are destined to be a rock star on this forum
