Hey all, I am considering the 2 door Jeep Wrangler 2.0T as my next vehicle purchase. It would be mainly used for leisure, but should be able to serve as a daily driver if I decide to move on from my truck.
Looking at the different trim levels offered, I see that the Sport is affordable ~33k MSRP and the Rubicon loaded up is around ~52k MSRP. Now that is a substantial difference. The Sport obviously lacks a lot of creature comforts (no 7" or 8.4" display, no LED lighting group, no active safety group, no cold weather package, no radar cruise), but I'm more worried about missing out on the off-road enhancements.
The Rubicon comes with lockers, electronic front sway bar disconnect, and 33s from the factory. If I got the Sport or the Rubicon, I wouldn't do many upgrades to it.
My main question is how wheelable is the Sport out of the factory? Other than changing the tires to be more off-road worthy, I wouldn't do much to it. I don't have the itch to modify the vehicle I buy and would rather stick with what I bought from the factory. When changing tires on the sport, I wouldn't get bigger tires than allowable clearance, which I believe is less than 33".
I live in the Pacific Northwest and I can see myself hitting some trails out in the woods. Not a lot of rock crawling or anything like that.
