I just ordered a 2019 Wrangler 2 door Sport S [where is the 2 door Sahara?]. Red River Jeep, Heber Springs, AR told me it would be 6 weeks before delivery. The big mistake I made? I forgot to order the tow package to get a class 2 hitch to tow my ATV. That cost me $100 for less!

But my wife is looking forward to the 8 speed auto and the 2.0 turbo. We'll miss the 2014 Sahara Unlimited we traded.

Probably about right. My JLRU was ordered on 11/20. Shipped on 1/5. At the regional freight depot today to be loaded on a carrier and taken to the dealer. I figure it may show up by Friday. Roughly 8 weeks total, which I'm very happy with. Others have received them a few weeks quicker than mine. Mine is pretty loaded with options. That may add some time.

Can you call your dealer and have them add the tow package? And yeah I'm with you on where is the 2 door Sahara.

Have the dealer change your order. Act quickly. There is no 2 door Sahara because of something about the fitment of the selec-trac transfer case. At least that's the reason Jeep gave a while ago.

Makes sense. Ran into the same problem when swapping my 4 speed atlas into my 2 door JK (doing v8 swap at same time). Had to use a 2 speed Atlas instead.

Was there much room for negotiating when ordering?

Did you beat Kim's price at Superior in Conway? I know she's 5-6% below invoice on ordered units.
