Any idea of any changes for the 2024 model year? Specifically will the inline 6 engine be offered in the wrangler? Appreciate your input. Thanks

I don't have any insight into the 2024s, but that's a great idea to go ahead and start scanning for them. They run test build sheets long before production starts.

LOL, who is predicting THAT?

Optimists? I've heard some random ppl say the market might stabilize or something -- and the Mach-E and some other car's prices were lowered, so maybe other makers will follow? Something like that.
Doesn't matter to me now, though. My order is placed, and I don't care if it's good or bad timing anymore. I'm just glad I'll have a Wrangler!

The price of some EVs were dropped to make them eligible for the newer tax configurations, but I'm not aware of any other price drops. History would seem to indicate that prices will continue to rise.

Maybe someone was talking about the 4xe models? I sorta glossed over a lot of the price predictions because money is why the last time I planned on a Jeep Wrangler, we ended up with a Honda ...

That's super cool-- I knew Punk'N Metallic would be a rare color, but I love that it's the least common (assuming 13-15 are non-US colors). That makes it feel even more special to own one.

As a side note, it's so nice how many bright and vibrant colors are available for Jeeps. Such a shame that most other folks don't get that choice when choosing a car.

So true! This is my High Velocity Yellow parked next to a Tuscadero. Reminds me of a bag of Skittles. ?

Is it uncommon to see a window sticker but no build sheet? My window sticker is showing up but no build sheet showing.

I'm not sure. My algorithm only looks for window stickers if it has already found an associated build sheet.

I figured it out. For some reason I have to replace "Jeep" with "Chrysler" and it will show up. Really odd.

Interesting. The last time I checked those were aliases to the same set of servers. Mind sharing the last six digits of your VIN so I can try to figure out if it's more than a cache issue?

Sure, no problem it's 644705.

Edit: Just checked and now it shows up on the Jeep link as well.

Yeah, that's unexpected. I'm seeing the same thing for your VIN. Ditto for dodge.com.

Note that I'm not seeing your build sheet on jeep.com yet.

I'd have to do an analysis of each of those options to try to figure out what might be the issue.
