It's going to be funny when that thing costs more than a crew cab 4x4 Ram/Silverado/F-150 in the base plus options trim (Express/Custom/STX).

"The Jeep Wrangler-based pickup truck does not yet have a name, despite press reports that it will carry the historic "Scrambler" name. Marchionne said the Jeep pickup will be "expensive; intentionally so" because it is designed as a lifestyle truck that is likely to generate annual sales below 100,000 units

Unlike a lot of other arfcomisms, the mall crawler stereotype is a legitimately accurate stereotype.   Especially for wranglers.

I almost never see a stock wrangler anymore.  Its got about 20k worth of bolt on accessories, and never leaves the black top.  ALWAYS seen pristine with nary a smudge.

I don't hate, but jealous they have the money to spend so frivolously on unused accessories.  One could have a lot of fun taking mall crawlers out for what they're supposed to be doing.

It's a shame they will never use em to their capacity.

ETA:  i really like that truck's design.  The only thing that keeps me from buying jeeps is their subaverage reliability and resale.  Oh, and I'm too poor haha

To play devils advocate, the majority of vehicles out they don't do what they are designed for.

Mini vans are probably the only segment that do what it was made to do.

That means those mall crawling Jeep's will be in good shape on the used market at a better price latter.

Bwaaaahahahaha. "subaverage resale"?????

There has never been a more absurd statement made on ARFCOM.

Wranglers really have no equal on resale value. Get a great deal and time it correctly, it is actually possible to sell a used Wrangler for more than you paid.

They are going to be pushing the Turbo 4-cyl engine big time for it.

But-but-but it makes more Tourqe than the 3.6.

Yea just what I need going through the mud is a turbo4......

Also the turbo 4 that uses the alternator as a starter, so........

Sir the reason your Jeep is not starting its because the drive belt is broken, no that's not under warranty because it is a maintenance item.

In ‘17 I bought a stripped down 4Dr Wrangler with a soft top and stick.
Only 2 options. Alpine Sat Radio and “S” package with cruise, power
windows mirrors, aluminum wheels etc.

List $34,200.  I paid $31.6.  Brand spanking new. Now with 7k on the clock
I was just offered 29.5 trade in value towards new Rubicon.

I passed when I found out the Rubicon sticker was nearly 49k.
Probably the same with the new scrambler.

I'm either going to buy one of these or Tacoma.  I want the jeep for the looks and the solid front axle, but I'm not going to pay too much more for a Jeep than a Tacoma.  Since the those are my only two options, the Tacoma is the benchmark for price.

TRD Off-Road or Rubicon

I require:

MANual trans
4 doors
at least one locker

Nice to have
solid front axle
two lockers!

I've had people look at my '04 TJU Wrangler from a distance and say they don't believe me that I take it off road because it's too clean. I then point out the armor that prevents body damage as well as the polished-over tree branch scratches going down the sides and inform them that I simply take care of my shit and spend hours washing it and cleaning it after I come back from the trails. You'd probably mistake my Jeeps as mall crawlers, too.

Turbo 4 ain't gonna be in the JT by all accounts. Just the EcoDiesel and Pentastar.

Oh and for everybody complaining at the price, donate $100 to Tread Lightly and you're guaranteed 1% under invoice on 2 FCA vehicle purchases (affiliate pricing). You can possibly negotiate better, but sometimes its fun to negotiate with a shitty salesman for a while then whip that out when they won't come down on the price.

ETA: Invoice on a $44kish JLU Rubi is $38kish from what was posted on the JL Wrangler forums.
