Unfortunately its not really apples to apples. I rent 2-3 cars a month from Avis so they generally give me anything I ask for. I paid $27/day with unlimited milage- but that was the rate for the Toyota Corolla they were going to give me.

Will someone tell me when to stop holding my breath waiting for the 2017 Bronco.

I saw this post and happened to have a Gladiator as a rental car so I drove with this configuration from Texarkana to Dallas at 75-80mph the whole time. The speed limit is 75 between the two and its about 180 miles or maybe 200. I had no issues or problems. Hope that helps.

I flew into Dallas (DFW) on Monday night around 9:00pm. I had a long week coming up, I had an 8:00AM meeting in Camden Arkansas Tuesday morning- its a 5 hour drive Ive made many times. When headed to the Avis my name wasnt on the preferred board so I had to take a little detour to get my car...

This is called ROS Return on Sales. While it is an important number its not generally the decision making number in a production/manufacturing environment. At the end of the day- financing and service will always beat RoS by a long shot.

My wife’s Meecedes has stop/start and I will say it get confused when pulling into the garage. Pull in, apply brakes and come to a stop (car shuts down. Put it in park, car starts back up.

You seem to have gone a bit high & right sir.

I have never worked in automotive but i am an engineer- and design time, tooling, and spares is probably more of a factor than actual material cost. I would guess an increased cost since the volume will be so much lower than a standard wrangler top because those costs will simply take longer to...

I think a general 5K premium over an unlimited is pretty reasonable. At the end if the day you either want a truck or you don’t. If the bare bones base model starts at 33K the overland model probably hits 45-52K and the Rubicon mid to high 50’s which all sounds abouy right.

Well yes I suppose Willys, but perhaps more broadly CJ’s. He probably owned a dozen of them over the years. Wranglers werent a thing until 1987 and he had been driving CJ’s for a good 25 years at that point. Old dog/new tricks and all of that.

My dad died believing Wranglers weren’t “real jeeps”.

I wonder what this means for the “late availability” colors. They are starting to reshape my expectations quite a bit- 1st diesel had to wait, then diesel wasnt the max towing option, Now they wont hit the dealers until the end of June. Im guessing i might jump back on the wait for the diesel...

Do you know what the rear seat of a JLU with cloth looks like? It’s probably a good guess it would be the same.

I will be selling a 2wd 2004 Ford Expedition with 150 thousand-ish miles on it. Im hoping my wife doesnt press the issue on why I need a JT and my more capable, lifted 02 F150 that my boys call “Big Red Dog”. Big Red Dog isnt really worth much but it just rolled 100K and has never let m down.

From a program management view I always select dates I know I can BEAT, and I know all the functions are doing the same- so when i need mechanical/electrical/Quality engineering to provide a bid I know they have padded it, as will the tooling and manufacturing guys and the suppliers and as will...

The Ft Worth show was this weekend. I emailed several dealers and none of them responded that the Gladiator would be there. So I didnt go to the show.

My dad had one of these when I was a teenager. His was black.

I think they did a great job- I have a few months ti decide of I have to have a diesel or just buy the forst one I can get my hands on. Well done Jeep!

So looks like i might get a new job (great!) but i will be driving 35-40 miles each way so 75-80 miles each day. So I also am a pretty die-hard motorcyclist and I ride whenever I can but I would still be 2-3 days a week commuting in the JT. Am I the only one facing a drive like this? Any...
