Anyone Concerned About Costs???

45k with options pushing it to 50k. Let's hope this pressures FCA to keep their prices reasonable.

How does Chevy know what theirs will cost and we have yet to hear anything definitive from FCA?

I'm just quoting the article man, I didn't write it to provide sources

Well the JT isn't offical yet. They have said a Jeep Truck is coming but haven't announced it yet, so it dosen't really exist in that sense.

Really doubt the AEV bowtie rig stays under $50k. The Ram 1500 conversions are $80k.

I don't think its going to be a conversion. I think its a vehicle Chevy is producing (limited) which should make it better economies of scale compared to a conversion like the RAMs and JEEPs

The Ram thing is an AEV stickered new vehicle. It's sold by the local Ram dealer. The AEV upgrades add a minimum of $18k, so if you take a ZR2 with a crew cab and a diesel, which comes in at $48k, add that $18k and you're looking at mid 60s. IMHO

And the ZR2/AEV thing still has the bowtie, so there's that. I'll take 7 slots and a removable top all day long.

Thats because of how its made.

Ram or Jeep makes the vehicle, it get shipped to AEV who then converts it to a AEV vehicle. The vehicle is then sold to a individual or a dealer who then sells it. You end up paying the full price of the vehicle plus the full price of the conversion.

With the ZR2 it was shown as a "concept" so AEV developed the parts with Chevy. Chevy makes the parts and installs them at the factory and the truck ships that way from the factory. This in turn would reduce costs a LOT. Also your not paying for parts that are being replaced like bumpers, wheels, tires, etc. Think of it as an options package on the vehicle instead of a conversion.

Now this is all speculation, but that how I could see it play out and still keep costs inline with the current ZR2 line up.

"I could see it play out and still keep costs inline with the current ZR2 line up".

Respectfully, NFW.

In all seriousness (& not flaming) there will be a significant upcharge.

My point is that it simply will be a trim package or special edition with an uncharge. I don't think its going to be a full blow conversion cost of $10K+ I think it will be more in line with $3-4K add on.

Kind of like buying a special edition JK.

Bet a six pack? Just for fun?

 

[Vegas_Sirk]

Sure :P

I refuse to get drawn into a dance off, so beer it is...

 

[propkillr]

I"m hoping for a JT Sport or Sort S. That would probably be the only way the cost would remain under 40 k! I think I was born a poor version of Bill Gates. Bill mom says Hi.

From all the speculation, lets just say the JT in a “Rubicon” trim is at $60k 5% off that is 57k
That would make the payments on zero down for 6 years with a 2.5% rate, $853.35 for 72 months.
That is most likely too rich for my blood.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it’ll be closer to $50k than $60k, otherwise I would have to consider the zr2 or ranger raptor or similar options

Ps- 5 year payments based on above is $1,011.60 per month for 60

$1,000 a month for a Jeep is crazy and thats at 6 years too.
