Rubicon or sport?Going to start the order process for a 2-door sport for my oldest son tomorrow. This is his first vehicle that he’s going to pay for.
Any advice from you guys?
IMHO, First vehicle payment, sport. Jeeps are expensive enough, let alone getting into the higher trim levels. If he has sufficient income and can tolerate the higher price, then Rubi.Rubicon or sport?
If sport, make sure to get the dana m220 upgraded axle.
Definitely Sport. Maybe a Sport S or Willys depending on the deal we can get.Rubicon or sport?

Willy’s has been labeled (by some) as a budget Rubicon, probably not a bad place to start.Anything other than the M220 axle?
How so, your missing all the “rubicon” stuff, lower transfer case, and lockers with better front axle.Willy’s has been labeled (by some) as a budget Rubicon, probably not a bad place to start.

Willys is no better than a sport if you plan to upgrade it. Ie suspension , wheels,tires Then the “willys” isn’t worth it
You need the anti spin rear differential option. It is narrower than the Rubi with a different gear.@Trauma Jeep
Well I do have the take off suspension and wheels/tires from my wife’s rubicon. So I def don’t want to pay to upgrade that. I’m thinking that you can get the M220 axle on sports now correct?
Yep, has the same 3:45 gear as the rest of the Sport/Sahara line, but w/ that option you also get better AT tires vs. the All Seasons that come on the base Sport.You need the anti spin rear differential option. It is narrower than the Rubi with a different gear.
Does sound reasonable, got our 19 Sport S w/ Hardtop V6 & 8AT (think that was pkg 24S) for $32k, didn't get the D44 RearSo I just got back from the dealership. Couple of things, in 2021 you can’t get a hardtop on a sport or sport s. He didn’t want that but I thought it was interesting. There is a 80th anniversary package that costs about $9k that loads it up.
I think he’s probably going with a sport s with the 23S package. Adding the anti spin diff and the tech group which gives him the 7” screen. Also included is the destination fee of $1495, red paint fee of $245 and soft top window storage bag of $75. Comes out to $34,600 MSRP and the invoice was $33k and some change.
Hoping to get 5% under invoice which is about $32k. Does all this sound reasonable?
All 6 sport models can be had with a hardtop. I would find another dealer.So I just got back from the dealership. Couple of things, in 2021 you can’t get a hardtop on a sport or sport s.

So that’s what I was thinking but I was looking at the computer screen and it wasn’t available. They may have had an error or somethingAll 6 sport models can be had with a hardtop. I would find another dealer.

look for HT1.
My daughter (19) learnt to drive with my basic Sport S and drive it for a year and loved it. So I don't think you need all the bells and whistles. She even bought her own new car this past March (Chevy Spark) and didn't want all the bells and whistles, just the hands free options with the radio and phone. Yeah, I know, Spark I tried steering her to Jeep, but she was scared to pay that much (18k vs 32k). At least she was thinking ahead of her paymentsGoing to start the order process for a 2-door sport for my oldest son tomorrow. This is his first vehicle that he’s going to pay for.
