For real. I've never been a true mechanic, but I've owned a few vehicles and done a significant amount of work myself. Started with a Scion tC, and even putting a cold-air intake in or changing headlight bulbs was a pain! I had a 79 Bronco for awhile with the 351M, and I remember climbing into...
You've hit the nail on the head for me. If it's as insane as some people think it will be, I'll be going to another full-sized truck most likely. Not worth paying a ridiculous amount more for me. If it goes crazy, I'll just keep trying to talk the wife into a JLUR!
Not commenting on your accuracy, other than saying I hope you're right! This would probably be fairly similar to what I'd shoot for, build and price-wise
I'm hoping you're right, this would absolutely put it right where I want it price-wise! Even if the Rubi starts at $45, that's far better than some of the numbers I've seen thrown about here
Absolutely! But the $7k increase from the JLUR I've seen thrown around still puts it too high for me. I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping the price ends up being close enough to my budget that I can negotiate it.
Oh yeah, I fully understand that approach to it, and I realize I'm a weird...
Man, I'm not disagreeing, but I'm hoping you're way high. At $68k, there's other trucks out there I'd rather have. Maybe I'm not FCA's target market, but loaded full-size money for the JT would kick me right out. And maybe I'm being too picky, but I'm on a Rubicon or nothing mindset. If I'm...
That's about where I'm at. Pushing north of $50k, and I'd probably talk myself into a used 2nd gen Raptor. I'm sure I'm somewhat rare in cross-shopping these two, but I honestly wasn't paying super close attention to the JT until I saw the LA reveal.
