This is the closest to being equipped like mine that there is in my area:I've seen you quote this $7700 difference and I'm confused how you got such a wide range. Every time I spec out a Sport S w/ features and then the Rubicon with the same features, the difference is $3500 (I'm always comparing Invoice on each.) Mind you I'm going fairly spartan in feature selection, but feature for feature it seems like the delta would always be around $3500. Maybe you're making a super spec'd Rubi vs a basic Sport S?

Granted, it does have Active Safety and the LED light package, but those two things are less than $2k combined.
Rubicon is several thousand more than Sport S when equipped similarly.
Actually, the payload capacity doesn't change. Wheels/tires are "unsprung weight" and do not subtract from the legal payload stamped on the door placard. So, the difference is still a full 400 lbs. between my truck and a Rubicon, which could potentially equal up to 4,000 lbs. of potential towing capacity if I'm carrying a family and/or gear.You forgot the price difference is even less at or below invoice pricing when the Rubicon and Sport S w/ Max Tow are optioned similarly. Around $3,700. I hope everyone is buying their JT's below invoice.
And when equipping both trims with 35s, the difference in payload capacity is only 275lbs in Favor of the Sport S. I've been researching religiously comparing the 2 trims and the longer I wait, the more I'm convinced the Rubicon is the better buy.
