I'll eat your hat if a diesel can be found for under 55k.

Probably pulled from a Ram, or based on it. It sounds exactly like what my previous Silverado and current f150 do when set to 4A. I assume Ram has the same thing.

Yeah, but that’s what I’m afraid of, as it implies that it’s electronically controlled, and thus not the purely mechanical like the NV242, which most of us SelecTrac fans actually want.

I’m still amp’ed about the option regardless, just have a little trepidation that it may not be exactly as we had hoped.

PS, @admin , can we get a clean-up on aisle 5 of the spilled bag off posts from VA6....

If you order a base Rubi with diesel you can be under 50K no problem. Especially since the dealers seem to be honoring the Tread Lightly 1% below invoice program.

I hope so!

When it happens, show me. In reality, I don't think it will be that simple.

How much do we expect a base rubi to be (invoice)? The ecodiesel should be about $4,005 more (invoice) than the 3.6L per the Grand Cherokee.

Base Rubi should be about $45k. But, these things are going to be high demand and dealers will order them up loaded. They won't be easy to get unless demand is soft. Listening to the excitement in the Jeep community, I don't believe it will be soft. Nobody is going to order one without options, either. Dealers will play games if someone attemts to. I may be wrong, but I don't think so. We'll see come August.

If that's the case (no more than $45k) you should be able to order a base Rubi, add the ecodiesel, and be just under $50k (barely)

On paper, or in theory. If a hot item, reality will be different. We'll see when someone tries it. Add a couple popular option groups and it'll get north of 55. Loaded, it will push to 57 or 58. Mot will sticker around 58, I'm predicting. When pricing is known on my well optioned JLUR 3.6 manual, we'll get a realistic idea. I'll share when that happens.

I guess we will see. Will be interesting to see if the $4k number is really it or not considering the GC comes with an AT and the base Wrangler/Rubi is with the MT and the current JK is a $1250 adder for the AT. I wonder f the ecodiesel will be more like $5k because it will require an AT upgrade as well.

Exactly. Base +1500 is the starting point. The diesel will add another 4 grand, I'm betting. Now you are at or above 50k.

I know my dealer ordered his allocation of 15 fully loaded.

Diesels? When I ordered, you couldn't get the diesel yet. But, that's what I'm saying. Nobody will get a base Rubi diesel. They'll be loaded.

So looking back at the front page again, it looks like the numbers posted for the JKU are actually those of the JK, although the photo on the EPA’s site shows 4drs, the Unlimited is actually 16 city not 17, and the 5spd-auto was getting 1 MPG less than the 6spd manual on the highway.

So a little bit better improvement in the city than previously thought;
