Americas The big May 17 Announcement / Pricing / Discussion thread.

[FlyingTexan]

It’s also reality, you can acknowledge it or choose not to believe it exists but that doesn’t change the facts.

The facts are that vehicle pricing has dropped in the last 12 months so there’s that. As has component cost, availability, shipping costs, and fuel. You know… the reasons they gave for the first price hike.

 

[Dr Zaius]

I get it. People still had prices from 2019 in their heads when they started this journey, and they wanted to believe a bespoke import 4WD could be had for the same price as a Jeep. However, Covid and runaway inflation have blown that scenario all to hell.

My Trailmaster build came in at $91.880. I was actually expecting it to be worse...

You know what I find interesting... not a peep from @Stu_Barnes today.

Absolute top dollar luxury pricing? Or do they think they’re competing with the value of maxed out performance 4x4? Seems like they all got drunk and dared each other to come up with the highest possible prices

 

[MTNDOG]

I really just wanted one of these...

I'm at the how bad do I need Safari Windows stage

You’ve got to have the safari windows..

 

[MTNDOG]

You’ve got to have the safari windows..

But I have a sawzall and some really bad after market sunroofs from the 80s that might do the job

Is there a way to put up a survey to see how many reservation holders are of the opinion that it's; priced low/priced as expected/priced high/priced too high and for that reason I am out?

Also a survey that shows how many are cancelling, on the fence, or buying it.

For you Americans, a Jeep JLU rubicon 2.0l in the UK starts at about $75k.

For reference.

I hear ya - but their quality ranks dead last in the US

 

[MidnightCamper]

I assume you also have on road costs to add?
I configured my vehicle in Australia and US and it has gone way up in Australia and US is slightly higher.
US gets performance sound system and 400W inverter but misses out on lots of standard features we get.
No roo bar for US

400W inverter "that's puke that is" glorified phone charger

 

[nobody_asked]

Can a current owner provide some feedback on the Utility seats? I'm concerned on how dirty they get (trap dirt) and hard to clean they may be. What is the material?

 

[bmore_burnsy]

After seeing these prices, I think most of our community (esp. NA members) wouldn't hesitate to promote the good, honest, and respectable dealerships amongst us who will sell the vehicle at MSRP and not add any BS! I don't want door guards, Scotchgard, undercoating, etc., please sell me the truck just as I have spec'd it.

I am willing to travel some to work with this dealer. I'm sure that 10, 20, 30+ of us could make one dealership very happy if we shopped together but expected honesty and fairness in return.

Count me in

Count me in too. Wife just approved

Also, I find it interesting that there won't be a dealership in the DMV area initially. It looks like I get to trek to ... Philly

 

[MidnightCamper]

We can have a group funeral as most of our spouses are sharpening their knives.

Dunno. My spouse actually is thinking of buying and if no Alu-cab comes forth, then flipping. Price came in below my guess. They put a tentative dealer icon in MA. I think our dogs should get a vote too. I wanna be a Pavement Princess too! At lunch yesterday in Concord, MA we counted 7 fancy Jeeps, 5 Teslas, 2 RR, numerous giant trucks, a few LR. The Rivian and the G-Wagon must have been at the transfer station.

 

[MidnightCamper]

Great I'll be 500 miles from the nearest, I'm in the middle of the US.

Adds new meaning to "Flyover States." Insulting.

No. He is the Owner and Moderator of the forum.

And no property tax either. You want a roommate? I will take up no room.

Haha, we do have property tax, but it is low. I live most of the year in WA (no income tax but high property and estate tax--gotta move before I die) and part of the year in MT (no sales tax) which works out well.

David - can you ask your local dealer the make/model of the roo-bar that you see in AUS - we can't order in the US but looks so much better with that.

At least you aren't at the how much can I sell a kidney for stage. Are you still going to buy then?

I'm hopeful we'll have a clean bullbar available in a year or two from one of the many armor builders stateside or those exporting from AUS.
