I just tried on rubicon and rubicon x it will not let me select 6 cylinder auto no matter what I do with gears. When I change the gears it flips it back to manual tranny.
Is it really that bad? This seems a bit extreme. Can anyone else verify JL is total junk or not?
If the most action it's going to see is the mall and a dirt/gravel road or two every few weeks, just do yourself a favor and get a 4runner. If you want something a little more fun that you can beat up and take off road, get you with TJ!
There's a 50% chance you will hate your JL as it sits in the dealership lot waiting to get fixed for 6 months out of the year for the first 3 years before you trade it in under the lemon law in your state.
After you get your 4Runner or your TJ, wait a little bit, a few years, and if the brand rebounds, then get you like a 2028 or something!
You'll be doing yourself a favor! Don't buy a JL right now!
As one of the lucky individuals who is on the zero problems side of the 50%, I'm not dumb enough to buy another JL anytime soon! Disgruntled Union employees, disgruntled dealerships, a new CEO that's promising change but hasn't achieved it yet, you're looking for problems!
You don't got to like it, but it's the truth!
Try reversing the order of what you select. I think I selected the 4.88s then the trans?
Buy the Jeep enjoy yourself.

Hopefully @jdru66 test drives a manual and an automatic back to back. I stupidly bought the manual w/o knowing how much better the automatic was. I had that old-school mindset that a manual would always be more responsive and better all around (at least for those like myself that have always loved rowing through gears). I was wrong.
The builder on jeep.com continues to be notoriously wrong. Do not trust the options presented. Your sales person's system is significantly more up to date / correct.
I thought you'd support those Chinese kids building those parts. They're definitely not union members!
No your'e wrong ..my Dad was a Union longshoreman and I from twenty three years of age was/am union.
You do realize everyone's JL is more Chinese than American right?
Where are you getting that information? According to my window sticker over 80% of mine was made in North America. That explicitly excludes final assembly, distribution, and other non-parts costs.
Was the 6/auto available on 24’s ? There might be an acceptable one available if so, inventory can be searched. Your chosen dealer might even be able to get it from the other dealer. My 05 4R was a dealer transfer as were both my 73 and 07 HD’s , intrastate, interstate dunno.
Don't compare my Jeep to your Heap.
My 2024 Willys was great, problem free until I turned it into a pretzel and I've only had my 2024 Rubicon for about a month, but so far no issues and I love it. The 2024s are by far the best version out of the 6 Wranglers I've had. So yeah I'd definitely recommend buying now.
