Under invoice is great if there are no "hidden tricks" but you'll have to pay a dealer fee on top of it I am sure.
The only way to beat that is to wait for some to pop up used.
If you look at a Gladiator you don't need to be worried too much about price. The Jeeps have markups or at a minimum no incentives. I think every other pickup has incentives. As pointed out the Glads have features the others will never have so it is not Apples to Apples but it is function to...
I swapped the 3.21 for 4.10s in my sport S wrangler. The economy went down a little. The lift and 33s really hammered it. Not an expert but I don't believe there is a requirement to establish a separate fuel eco rating for each configuration of model so they are using the optimum one.
I have seen them packed on the Wrangler Saharas and these Gladiator Overland. A buddy who works at a local Jeep says they spec order based on the stats. People shopping sport / sport s type vehicles are leaning towards price so they avoid loading them up.
If you look at how human ability deteriorates with age then cars with driver assist, collision avoidance systems are amazing advancements. I can't wait for all of the old people in South Florida to buy them.
"The one thing I find the RL and JT do have in common is that they both have acquired tastes in the looks department." My wife (who is always right by the way) says the same thing. As a long time CJ and Wrangler owner I get it though.
Dealers almost always begin ordering next year models months before the websites show ordering options. This has been true with every manufacturer.
The only recent exception I saw was pre-orders on Rangers and the JT launch edition. Otherwise you have to go into the dealership. Of course they...
I read an article where pricing was discussed awhile back. It was characterized by Jeep executives as a niche vehicle. So yes I would expected $3500 over JL is a reasonable assumption. A sport model with any options is going to easily be in the 40s. Rubicon and Overland will easily be in the...
The big factor is personal preference. Car makers do a good job of emphasizing certain features and characteristics over other items. This is why a Ridgeline truck exists. Body on frame SUV type vehicle with a unique truck bed appeals to certain people. I like Hondas and I really like the...
