I don’t know. Mine (23 Rubicon) is exactly the same line for line Gupton/Jeep/Costco

Edit: It was the same line by line now it’s just the same MSRP.

So I just looked at mine again and while they all come out to a final MSRP of $68,770….MSRP, Cold weather group and safety group no longer match up line for line.

Jeep lists the starting MSRP of $49,715 while Costco and then Gupton have it at $49,320.

For the cold weather group Gupton has it at $1195 jeep and Costco have it at $895

for the safety group Gupton has it at $1,045 jeep and Costco have it at $1,145

but again everyone lists the MSRP $68,770

Those online build your own are typically not what it's actually going to cost through the dealer.
Don't put much stock in them. They are simply to use to give you an idea, get close.
When I was looking at 2022s a while back, the dealer pricing was always less than any of them - and that's MSRP.
People put too much into those as if they are the law, the actual figure you'll pay and as if they actually show all things accurately. Read the fine print, please.
Take your build to a dealer and get the REAL numbers.

Interesting to hear that the dealer pricing is usually below MSRP on build sites. I would have thought for it to be the other way around.

Costco auto program is just a negotiated price between them and whatever participating dealer that is signed on to their program. It may or may not be below invoice nor will it be the best deal you could get if you are willing to shop around for dealers that will deal with steeper below invoice percentage pricing.

What Costco auto program does offer is a "CarMax" like experience as you will know upfront what the costs will be with way less of the dealership pitfalls of like adjusted market pricing and mandatory dealer add on.

Costco makes their money on the fees the dealerships pay them be in the program. In addition, the affiliated dealerships in that program will usually have one or two people in the dealership that will be your point of contact for the whole transaction and are vetted and trained by Costco to handle the transaction.
