I honestly don't see how Jeep can justify a $3500 upgrade from 6MT to 8A unless they are really trying to drive sales for the 2.0. Then why not make the 2.0 the standard engine and mate it to the 6MT?
If anything else I think the automotive press would react very negatively to Jeep for upcharging $3500 for auto with the V6.
Now we are talking about a $4000 increase from JK to JL. $2000 msrp increase plus $2000 auto tranny increase ($1500 on JK now $3500 in JL)
Reminds me of the 4.10 gearing on JK rubi. 4.10 is standard but when you add auto tranny for $1500 it changes to 3.73. Then you have to pay $700 to add 4.10 again when it was standard to begin with. Why?
The new 2018 Honda Accord Sport is available with 6MT or CVT for the same price. Honda even added all the Honda sensing tech (radar/camera for lane assist, collision mitigation, adaptive cruise) while only increasing msrp $400 over 2017 msrp.

way too $$$$$ IMO + although i like turbos the 2.0 turbo is not proven + WILL see some teething issues, god knows what they think the pickup i am interested is worth!!! prolly have to wait for a preowned one as they drop a few thousand coming off the lot, but 4WD pickup prices are totally crazy as are most things these days IMO!!!!

If these are the prices of the new JL, I hope they sit on the lot so that I can negotiate a better price. I was going to gun for the Rubi but that's a bit more than I'm comfortable paying before options. The Sport S seems reasonable but I think the biggest screw up is there is no option for LED lamps(or is there?) which eliminates the Sport S for me out the door.

Maual is only avaliable on 3.6 tho so the full 3500 would prob be the turbo upgrade charge

led is very easy to do aftermarket or even with the dealer. I would definitely not make your decision on that.
I should add I am a Sport S buyer and I was disappointed they did not offer LED group like on the JK. Best case the lighting is better on the JL and I don't feel I need it. Worse case I'll add them later.

I think you are cjust comparing apples and oranges this is talking about the Ford products V8 vs their turbo 6, and yes I would totally expect the V8 to get better fuel mileage vs V6 turbo in the highway scenario. We are talking about the small 2.0 Turbo 4 cylinder versus the pentastar V6. The turbo 4 already shows better mpg on the highway than the V6 as well as significantly better in the city..Why you ask is it better in the city it's called torque down low in the rev band!! Also I was assuming his question was because of adding bigger tires, winches etc was more geared to what the Jeep is meant for which is off-road where again all that extra weight will be easier with the turbo 4 than the V6 is all I was trying to say which is a fact if you look at where the torque band is in each engine.First for the BSG it’s 48V Li-ion battery.
This may help you;

Nope.
Highway mileage and weight do not improve with the turbo, this is also seen in the EcoBoost which when towing inverts the MPG advantage, despite having all that torque down low. To overcome wind air and rolling resistance you need HP, so the turbo may need to be on boost to combat drag at speed.
This quote is from C & D’s June 2016 look into Turbo vs NA, and describes the issue specifically, it has the power to impress, but expecting stellar fuel economy when pushed is overly optimistic.

Or maybe they are trying to drive consumers to the 6MT.
