Status says built. It was in paint Thursday so I think it might still need the body vendor and inspection before it actually hits th truck

'21 JLUR, Hydro Blue
I'm glad you posted this because this is exactly what I'm looking at ordering. Hydro blue and all.
I'm also going with the 2.0L turbo. I drove my friend's a week or so ago and it feels like it has more pep than my 3.6L.
I want the upgraded Alpine speakers but that is only available with the Willy's and not the Sport but I don't think it's worth it to me to pay an extra 5 grand for the willys to be allowed to pay another 1,200 for the speakers. I can do a monster sound system upgrade for 7 grand. I don't really mind the manual door locks and windows. I've gotten used to it again on my '18 sport that I have now. Other than that, I believe everything else is the same, correct?
Ditto - I'm debating upgrading my '21 JLUR or going the Willy's XR route. The Willy's Sport would be a nice cost savings too........I just don't know if I can ditch my manual, although I've had the 2.0T as a rental a few times and it's definitely got plenty of torque.

I'm liking the turbo. Haven't driven enough yet to see about the MPG, but right now it's sitting around 19 1/2. I'll have a better idea on the next tank that I get. If they did a manual in the XR it would be awesome.

In all honesty, it's a night and day difference. The 8 speed auto, 4.56 gears, and the 2.0t is the perfect combo.

They also got rid of the Etorque on the 2.0t, so you don't have to deal with everything that comes with it.

Drive one and you will know.
