2022 Models - Press Release Dates

[OffroadCalling77]

It's a baby step toward electric, really, and is nowhere near full electric. You still have the ICE to fall back on if you need it. I am also not ready to go full electric, largely because the infrastructure isn't there yet. But I'm personally excited about the 4xe because it will allow me to be electric most of the time, but still get places that I want to go (like, say, the beach) without worrying about range.

Ugh. Tesla. My desire for one has gone from 1000000 to 0 fairly rapidly over the past few years. Hard pass.

I will probably be an early adopter of a Wrangler BEV when that eventually comes out in 6-8 years...

It would probably be a C or D car for me.

Same here! My round-trip to the office is 3.5 miles. Honestly if I go electric I’d rather have a Tesla model S p100D. I really want to 392 hopefully I can find one.

Haven't been following this thread often, but I though you were a diesel or 4xe guy...thoughts change?

Haha. I’m all over the place.

4Xe makes the most sense because my office is 1.8 miles from my house. It just doesn’t excite me. No reason I’m sure it’s a kick ass build but I just don’t want it.

I actually really like the diesel. I think it would be awesome for those long camping and overlanding trips. I also love the way it sounds. But I do little driving during the week. I probably put less than 40 miles a week on my car. From what everyone is saying that’s pretty bad for the diesel. If I was camping every weekend I would consider it but since I’m not camping every weekend it doesn’t make sense.

The 392 checks off everything I’ve ever wanted in a car but get it in wrangler. The engine noise… there’s nothing like it. It’s just cool. Impractical but awesome nonetheless. I’m trying to ship one from Boston actually hahaha.

I'm in MA. How's that working out? I'm looking for a blue one and I can't find one within a few hundred miles of me. I have a trade so don't want to get into the shipping thing.

I’ll know by days end. I’ll tell you.

I've had a few things pop up personally, so I may need to wait a bit anyways. Going to head to a local dealership this weekend just to test drive the 2.0L, make sure I'm good with the power from that.

There's another thread that suggests that any builds with Gorilla Glass or the Headliner (both of which my Sahara Altitude will have) are all stuck in D1 status and not likely to get built until July, probably deliver early August. I'm kinda interested to see where that leads.

Also *really* hoping that on the June sheets, that new Tuscadero color is both confirmed to be the new Chrysler blue AND expanded so I could order that.

My only concern with waiting is the value of my current vehicle, but otherwise, I'm not in a rush. I WFH so during the summer when the kids are out of school, I may only start my vehicle twice a week anyways.

I definitely wish we could get an official update from FCA, though.

I owned a "15 JK 3.6 and "19 JLR 2.0T with eTorque.

Definitely go test drive the 2.0T and 3.6. Both are great engines. I think you will be satisfied with the power. The 2.0T has noticeably more torque that peaks lower in the rpm band. It also has a flatter torque curve. That means the extra torque hides the weight of the Wrangler better. The extra torque makes the Wrangler feel more agile, it feels like it gets moving eaiser. This is very noticeable. Another benefit, the extra torque is great if anyone is planning on upgrading to larger heavier wheels and tires. Over all the 2.0T is a excellent motor but it has a short coming. The 2.0T is not as smooth or quiet as the 3.6. The noise is is not as noticeable on some Rubicon and Sahara models with certain options. The 2.0T Rubicon and Sahara optioned with the 8.4"/Alpine gets electronic Active Noise Control to make the cabin quieter. There are microphones in the cabin that electronically cancel engine, exterior and cabin noise.

The 3.6 is silky smooth and quieter so it does not get the electronic ANC. You can't go wrong with either engine choice.

You might be pleasantly surprised by waiting. Your trade might be worth MORE if you wait? Used car prices are still going up. Shop your cars around to Carmax, Carvana, Vroom and local dealers for baseline values. Take into consideration your State sales tax credits if your state has that.

I would definitely order the Gorilla Glass for $95. Anything has to be an improvement over the regular Mopar windshield.

Just be prepared for a wait. Hopefully they start the gorilla builds soon, currently 32 days and counting.

Yeah, I'm coming from a 15-year-old 4.8L V8 in my GMC pickup, so anything is probably going to be an improvement, both in terms of that "off-the-line" quickness and overall noise, lol.

That's what's giving me some hesitation. In my head, going from a 4.8L V8 to a 2.0L I4 just sounds like a huge step backwards, but I'm sure it's not, in reality. Plus the Wrangler likely weighs a lot less than a full-sized pickup, so there's less to get moving.

What is this gorilla glass? I've built a JLUR to my spec on the Jeep website, but didn't see any options for different glass.

Are you going with cloth or leather? I'm on the fence.

 

[Caveman044]

I was at the dealership yesterday and asked if they have heard anything about the 2022's. They think orders will open in august or september, but didn't have anything concrete.

 

[OffroadCalling77]

The 392 only comes in leather.

 

[Caveman044]

Well if orders can't be placed until september plus a 10 or so week lead time, it will be about 7 months until I get mine. I don't know if I want to wait that long. Though I would be a little bummed if I were to miss out on uConnect 5 or the 35 inch tire option.

The website is out of date. GG was added as an option in early May.
