Not according to the documents in the original post. It shows that you need to select an option:

2.0 Turbo: $2,000
3.6 Pentastar: $3,500
You are misreading it.

First of all, it appears to be the pricing for the automatic with the different engines. Second of all, it is garbled and you can't really tell exactly what it is. Third of all, it is a 3-month old document so take it with a grain of salt.

The release brochure differs from the leaked documents. All of this is speculation right now except for the HP and torque numbers. I'm still 2 1/2 years from purchasing a JL or JT but I'm really starting to think they are going to price me out of the market. I've never been able to justify a $40k+ vehicle in my head even though I can afford it.

For those worrying about the power of the turbo, do you realize one flash will boost the HP/tq output by ~50?

My original post took into account the price for an automatic transmission at the end.

JKU 3.6 and auto: $1400 (for auto)
JLU 3.6 and Auto $3500

This is a $2,100 increase for this alone.

Here's a suggestion.

How bout we not all not panic about pricing at this point based on a couple of outdated leaked docs and one random window sticker from a pre production vehicle.

And if the JL ends up being too expensive for your liking...here's an idea--don't buy it. If it is truly too expensive, And enough people don't buy it, Jeep will be forced to lower the price. There's a reason they're increasing the price here guys. It's because people keep buying Wranglers. Jeep would be stupid not to test the price elasticity of demand when introducing a brand new Wrangler when the existing Wrangler has been selling like crack rock for a decade. AAAANNNND...Jeep is still giving you the option to buy a brand new JK for the next 6 months (likely for a steep discount) if that is what you truly want.

Or you could keep shaking your fist at the sky and being angry about how economics works. Whatever.
This is the post that makes the most sense to me in this thread. That JLU Sahara window sticker that was posted was likely fudged because they had to deliver something for which they don't have official, final pricing yet. The $45K "base price" was likely a rolled-up guesstimate with all the options added in. On a similar note, the August 2 pricing information that started this thread is vague, likely very preliminary, and subject to change. I think we will have real answers on pricing very soon, and if we don't like them, we can always choose to put our money elsewhere, or wait for the used JL market to take care of these pricing problems for us through the magic of depreciation. If FCA has truly set the prices too high, the market will bring them down to where they belong.

But if the 2.0 Turbo wasn't available for those who ordered our Jeeps early, why would we have to pay for the only available option? Doesn't add up.
Being that the 2.0 was not available you would be purchasing the 3.6 which is an additional $3,500. If there was no other option, according to the original post this would be the case. Even if the 2.0 was available, and you selected that, you would still have to add $2,000 to the listed price. You have to add the engine choice to the MSRP whether it is the 2.0 Turbo for $2,000 or the 3.6 Pentastar for $3,500.

So that's where the grain of salt comes in.

But let's take this as gospel. I would spin it like this:

- The V6 and Automatic together is a terrible deal so those of you looking for an automatic should start getting used to the idea of the turbo 4

- The automatic alone in the JK $1,400. The automatic with the upgraded turbo engine (mild hybrid, better gas mileage, better torque) is $2,000. Pretty good deal to get the upgraded engine for $600.

What I don't agree with is all your made up math. Either quote the numbers on the page or wait and see.

Again, only if this document is accurate and only if someone ordered the automatic and of course they would expect an upcharge for the automatic.

There is no made up math. If the document is correct, so are the prices and increases listed.

Everything in the thread is based on the original post. The point of a forum Thread is to discuss the topic posted.

Only time will tell if the document is correct. In the meantime all we can do is discuss and wait...

How many are sold without A/C , any real numbers ?

All, of my JKs have been sans A/C, but I don’t pretend I am representative of anything other than my own desiress in that respect. From those without A/C it’s not even the price (incouding Canadian A/C tax).

I am likely part of a very small minority who would prefer No A/C even on my JKU / JLU if it were possible to get everything else in a Rubi or Sahara SE, and hate whenever it turns itself on with remote start.

However I would say/guess that likely there are as many of us without AC in a Base manual dorrs & manual windows JK as there are RubiHR owners.

This very well could be true. It would explain why they chose to run the JK into the JLU production. Gives people time to adjust to sticker shock from the JL.

Personally I have purchased 165k worth of Jeep vehicles in the past 3 years. I like the vehicles, however if the sticker prices are too crazy, I will find something else I like.

I cant help but thinking at that price point a Raptor is looking like a much more reasonable vehicle.
Still $20,000 more expensive for the Raptor, and it’s not a convertible, so your idea of ‘reasonable’ is pretty skewed. Colorado/Canyon reasonable, that I can buy, Raptor reasonable, then you’re not really using reason to arrive at that conclusion.

I don't understand the game Jeep is playing... Order banks are open, the vehicle has been officially revealed, why would you not release MSRP? The thing has been in development for years what is the problem? They even have the accessory prices listed at the show.
Pretty much how they do it with all new vehicles.

Why would the MSRP not include an engine? Think about this with a little bit of reason. Obviously those numbers are jumbled.
