10% off MSRP not as good as jeeps making it out to be

[Aj58]

Looking at the prices over this year, specifically the Mojave, with certain additions, Jeep has increased the MSRP by 7% since march. I’m sure it’s across other models but I didn’t really look into it.

Just putting this out there because some of these increase may make it more worth while to get some upgrades from a 3rd party. Also could explain why there are so many gladiators still on the lots.

Base Price - $250 increase
Low Gloss black wheels - $50 increase
Aux group buttons - $100 increase
Black 3 piece top - $100 increase
Body color top - $100 increase
Cold weather group $50 increase
Off-road cam - $200 increase
Premium sunrider - $100 increase
Roll up tonneau - $200 increase
Trailer tow package -$100 increase
Wireless speaker - $50 increase
Paint colors - $100 increase

The SunRider and tonneau can be had for cheaper than MOPAR sells for.

Hell, I got a basically new SunRider here for about $300 less than new at BesTops price.

Towing pkg is better to get from MOPAR because of everything that comes in it.

Off Road camera I believe Z Automotive is cheaper AND a better camera, but there are other things that come with it from MOPAR.

Aux buttons are through MOPAR, just so there is no wiring nightmare.

Cold weather group depends where you live. If you get a real winter, buy it.

Of course it will be dependent on what options you choose but just passing on some info I noticed. Not everyone wants to or has the capability to install these options themselves.

I live in the mojave desert and wouldn't think of not having the cold weather group, love the heated seat when my back aches LOL

Jeep aux switches are twice as much as voswitch and have half the capability.... if I had known I wouldn't have ordered them when I ordered the the JT

Yeah Central Florida here and I use it all the time throughout the year including several times last week.

Just sayin'.

It's fine that you guys want heated seats in hot climates, but that isn't the point.

And nothing personal, but my Mom lived in SW Florida for 20 years, she gets cold at 72 degrees now.

So you know then.

The Z Automotive camera is not better, it's low resolution as wiring into the head unit is the limitation. If you want a better camera aftermarket, you'll have to use a secondary monitor.

To me, the pro of the oem camera are that the guidelines follow your steering input so you can see the line you'll hit. The wiper fluid function is a possible bonus if dirty. The negatives, besides cost and worry of it breaking, is you need a Tazer to use it beyond rock crawling speed. Which makes it practically useless for me so far in my faster offroad adventures, so I'll be ordering a tazer soon.

Factory camera is money for all the reasons stated. Since I swapped out my interior, it's the only thing left I wish I'd ordered. Would use it all the time if I had it.

You'll enjoy the many other benefits of the Tazer.

But for the very practical shopper that wants to keep a Jeep A Jeep,(and custom orders or selectively searches) that 10% is doing me $7800 off tomorrow AM.

Great points about the misc. price increases though. And a good point in general!!

I ordered my MY23 on Aug 18 '22, delivered on 21 Oct '22.........the sticker price went up almost $900 in that time. BUT I was price locked.

FCA is getting to be insane with their pricing, more like asinine

So do I. Grew up in Michigan but have lived in Texas for 30 years.

So you're saying you don't want 10% off the current price? The price is what it is, you're free to pay full price if you'd prefer.

I dont like the heated seat, made the seat harder. My Boss has same truck without the heated seat way more cushy soft.

Yeah, I am probably done ever getting a new Gladiator down the road. When they announced Punkin color for the end of 2023, I tried to build one out and even using both the 10% off MSRP and Tri-City offering another up to 6% below invoice, I cannot in good conscience justify the cost and come off the coin.

I say that of having the means to afford it, but I just am not going to play their game anymore and participate.
