I understand about the color. That was an issue with getting mine. Momma was very specific that we did not get Black, White, Grey or Green. Didn't leave much as the new Yellow was out as far as I was concerned. I took a White Grand Cherokee because it was on the lot and priced right but this truck had to be an acceptable color for both of us.

the dealers seem to only have granite and black sport S’s around here……I wish there was a way to send out what your looking for to multiple dealers at once

Thanks guys….I have no problem calling those dealers even tho they are out of my state…yes I can put my truck back to stock thats no problem.I might even have some trade in equity in mine

Call Craig at Koons, he was who I ordered mine with

buying a vehicle you have been renting for 3-4 years ups the overall cost immensely.
you will end up paying nearly double the original cost. It may still be YOUR best option, dunno, but think about that.

There's a brand new sport locally for $36k with the deep discounts being offered. I'd lean towards a 2023 personally. Tax and license might put you about $10k over the lease buy out, but that's on a brand new vehicle with 0 miles and a full warranty vs one that's pushing 40k.

If you have to take a loan, can you afford a 3 year note on the 2020? Not sure you want new car monthly costs on a 7-8 year old truck if you go 4 or 5 years. 3 years 32k will cost about 1k a month.

Also….is this a max tow package? Thank you

no, it would say max tow. Also, expand your search. It may cost less to buy and transport a gladiator than to buy local.

 

[Yellow1098]

Thank you! I probably need the max tow and 410’s if I go on the planned 37’s correct?

You'll see that and the 4.10 gear ratio and the wide 44's.

There is a lot of debate over gearing. Personally, if I were going 37’s, I’d upgrade to 4.88 minimum. I do not carry a whole lot though so weight can be a factor. The wide axles are nice though with the package.

This or open your search to a diesel…. Diesel will turn 37’s in Florida without any issues on stock gearing (3.73’s)

you missed your day of real opportunity, it was yesterday, the last day of the fiscal year for most dealerships.

Not quite. Leasing for three years at a money factor from 2020 when rates were low means you are paying the depreciation monthly. In CA, you only pay sales tax on the payments and then the buyout, if you buy it.
Your comment may be true if you got a horrible money factor and didn’t negotiate the price of the car.
