Insane. No thanks. I’ll do a blower on the JT and keep my manual and my bank account. I’ve got something lighter with nearly 700hp to get my speed fix.

What is there to choose? A properly geared JL diesel will be just as good as the 392 for Jeep stuff and the TRX platform is immensely more capable at actually utilizing all that power. For me that would be a no-brainer.

I think I would have a hard time rock crawling the TRX or bring it my local Jeep club so it's a no brainer indeed

I am much more interested in a 4xe version of the Gladiator. Good gas milage with more torque. That’s a good combo. I would be willing to bet the tow capacity is less though, due to the added weight of the electric system.

So many Rubicon owners had no issues paying $60K+. $10k more gets you a V8! What the complaints........
Now I paid $38K for mine. Would take a second rig rather that spend that for one!
Still can't wait to see them and I'm sure they will sell like Hot Cakes.

I agree! I am one of those people that opted for a heavily-optioned Gladi, and the window sticker was $60k. I saw value in it, while many others wouldn't. Suddenly everyone is tripping on a fully-loaded V8 392 factory Jeep!?!?
I am so glad Jeep is producing this factory product!

Obviously Jeep saw the market potential or else they wouldn't do it. They're not in the money losing business after all.

Just bad most will just get turned into Blinded out Mall Crawlers from too many people with $ to burn and have No clue what these rigs can actually do.
Can't wait to see the few that escape to actual users.

I just think it would be nice to be able to get a HEMI without all the fluff.

you can, go to AEV's website or Rubitrux and you can buy as many 6.4's with whatever level of fluff you want for less than 75K. these just won't have the ability to lock in 4 high, make the exhaust loud or quiet, get a warranty that will be covered at any dealer in the nation, only the AEV approved ones, and you won't be able to buy an extended warranty that will be honored at and dealer in the nation.
And you will never have a service advisor or Jeep employee deny a warranty claim blaming the failure on the lift that didn't come stock on the vehicle- UNLESS its an AEV authorized dealer that they built.

We have many people here who buy a $65k Rubicon and throw another $60k of stuff on it to cruise parking lots. Then they wonder why they can't recoup even a fraction of the money they sank into the jeep.
