Everyone stay calm, it's happening!

It allowed me to select half doors on gecko... boy Jeep is really pushing the 2.0

Must mean I should get the 3.6

Happy to see Jeep is starting to update site. Come on new colors!

It seems a number of people on this forum are concerned about the 2.0? I just got back from a trip to Colorado and that engine was awesome. Handled the mountain roads with ease and I love the manual feature for downhill, easier on the brakes to let the engine control speed. It handled the off-road trails like Cinnamon Pass, Engineer Pass, California Gultch, Picayune and Placer Gultch really well. Enjoy your Jeep shopping.

Could this be the first sign that Bronco has finally put FCA’s boundless greed in check...?

Or perhaps we are seeing the first evidence that the common sense of the new bosses from Stellantis is filtering through...

Looks like the "upg" is the manual is all.

I just built a well-equipped Sahara: despite the cheaper powertrain options, the total price hasn’t changed.

But it appears the running glitches that had plagued the Build & Price configurator for the last three years were finally fixed! Woohoo!

Is Stellantis starting to crack the whip on quality control...?

I think “UPG” simply stands for “PUG”, the acronym for “Pentastar Update.” PUG is the internal code for the latest generation of the V6 that appeared on JL https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2014/12/chrysler-group-introduces-pug-plan-pentastar-v6-family/

The question now is, is the transposition of the letters PUG into UPG deliberate, or is it a careless typo...?

After all, this is a PUG looks like

I was all set on ordering a 2.0 but now the 3.6 is tempting. Although, from what I've read, the vast majority of owners here prefer the 2.0.
I don’t know about “vast majority”: according to the latest poll on here, the V6 outsells the 2.0T 2-to-1, despite the stiff price premium FCA placed on the V6, eTorque and all that.

Still no option for the XR package on the builder yet.

2017 Jeep Willys 2dr
Waiting to order a 2022 2dr Willys, for myself I want the standard Willys Sport with only two options, A/C and the Hard Top, I would rather have the Premium Soft Top, but it's not offered on the base Willys Sport at this time. The stock V6 and 6spd manual is the way I'm going, one reason for a pretty much stock Jeep is that you really get a lot of Jeep for the money, plus every extra option is just something else to go wrong on down the line. All optional engines require two batteries plus who knows how much more electronics are required to run them, just more to go wrong.

I think all of the engine options have two batteries, with the etorque having probably the best setup with the 48 volt system.
