What tires are those? Doesn't look like the factory tires on the Sahara at my local dealer.

Zooming in, they appear to be Bridgestone Duelers. I’m not sure as I haven’t seen the Jeep in person. Dealer sent me the photos.

2018 JLU Rubicon Black
Picked mine up my 2018 JLU Rubicon Black, yesterday from Lithia in Spokane, WA - flew over from Seattle (1 hr flight) and drove it back 4 1/2 hours.

Sticker was $52,550 and paid $47,990 - saw it coming in the lot and emailed almost a 3 weeks ago, paid deposit and that was it.

-Winter Package, LED lights, Infotainment Group, Park/Blind Spot Assist, Steel Bumper, Leather Seats, Proximity Entry, Automatic-

My take so far --- On the drive back to Seattle I did Highway, Small Roads, Rain, Snow- The Rubicon handles very well, the noise factor inside was much better than I thought, 75mph on windy I90 - was better than a JK by a long ways. Leather was firm but comfy, heated seats were nice, heated wheel got warm in about 20 seconds (no joke) and then had to turn it - nice touch though.
Visibility was great and the dash layout was better than expected.
-Most impressive was the 8 speed, it hauls ass in low gears and has a kick not seen in the JK.
-She is tall for a stock Wrangler, very surprised by height, she is a climb compared to my Yukon. Headroom - I'm 6' 220 and tons of room above me.
-When I got to the Pass by the mountains was pretty snowy and the JLU handling was great, tire choice off the showroom floor was really nice and did better than I expected.
-Road noise was also better than expected with those tires (perhaps my expectations were low).
- LED lights were really nice some of the better ones I've used factory so far.

Love it, Lithia was painless to deal with and sent the paperwork over ahead of time so when i bought it took 2-3 minutes for paperwork and the rest of the time it was going through the JLU. Props to their staff also as they had several Jeep Lovers who really knew their way around it vs some kid.

I plan on also towing mine on all 4's behind my Motorcoach in the summer so have to wait for Tow Bar to come out for the JLU as going cross country this summer!

Did it blow around much in the wind?

It didn't - the steering was firm and didn't have a lot of play- I could hear and feel the wind, but I wasn't getting knocked around like I was expecting. I think the firm suspension and steering helped quite a bit!

Cool! With the high-line open fenders, I feared it'd blow around. What'd you get for MPG?

MPG when it was Windy was low, it was 16MPG with bad winds - doing 75mph -

The tires make a difference I think - i have reset it a few times. City driving now gives me 14-16 and hwy 18-20mph - if you take to enjoying the 8 speed, it will punish you for it! I would be curious if the Sahara is getting better than the Rubicon.

Thanks Nor!

Red Rubi JL Unlimited
Saw a wht rubi with tan leather seats at Schumacher (MSRP only) Jeep, FL. That tan is a deer skin yellowish/tan leather. Reminded me of my deer skin gloves and jacket I had years ago.

Today, I saw a new Bentley Convertible driving ahead with the same deerskin colored leather seats.

I plan to tow our behind RV also. Have you ever towed a black vehicle behind RV before? Just a heads up that they will appear to be gone in BU camera after sunset! Just tap the brake lights and it will show back up. I'm thinking of going Red or White. Great looking and great buy! Enjoy!

Long time lurker. First time poster. Thanks for all the information on the JL. Can’t wait till mine arrrives. I’m the mean time I saw this at a dealer near me Bayside CDJR. They had 2 JLUS one white the other Black. I stupidly only took pictures of the white one. The black one wasn’t really well equipped from what I could tell. The white one had cold weather and tow from what I can tell. The pictures doesn’t do it justice. Not sure which option wheel were on it. Maybe someone here will be able to tell me. Also haven’t seen it mentioned yet from people who have gotten theirs but on start up of the car besides it telling you what trim you have, in the small screen in the cluster it shows the year wranglers were made (1941). Thought it was a neat Easter egg.

If anyone is from Fort WorthTexas, Klement dealership has plenty on stock. Price seems fair if they don't have a market adjustment. I did notice 2 window stickers in one of them, one on the window another laying on the seat so I'm not sure if they printed their own to mark up the price. Must be financed through them so I'm sure they pop your dingleberries with financing.

If anyone is from the area, would be cool to stop by and let us know
