Against the Tacoma....uh oh. If Tacos are anything like the Tundras, that’s a tough fight. Not much competition against the Wrangler right now but stepping into the small/medium truck world is a whole new game.
FCA stated and I quote "expensive; intentionally so" and they don't plan on selling many because it is designed as a lifestyle vehicle. They are assembling the new RAM Dakota on the same frame etc... in Toledo and will sell those for Ranger / Colorado money in an effort to get the economies of scale for the midsize scale production.
Like the Kardashians...
This is what I heard too. I would regret it if FCA limited supply (over demand) because I could think of some really great (Scrambler specific) after market products for it, like someone mentioned above a cab cover, that providers might think twice about spending the money to produce if they're not going to have anywhere near as large a market of prospective buyers.
From what I remember he said initially expensive. It is also rumored to have only two trim levels. I believe that only the Rubicon will be available at launch kind of like the JLU vs the JL. The sport will be available a short time after. If I had to guess I would say add $2,500 to the price of a JLU and that will be what the JT will coast.
Last Union meeting we were told production will start in March on the JT and the Dakota can't be built at the Toledo plant.
Almost a year old now. To me they hold no relevance .
It's going to be a long 23 days. I have put off a JL Rubi purchase in hopes that this truck will be affordable. I need the extra towing and payload capabilities.
