So as we get ready for B&P, and because I was bored this morning I took a trip over to Jeep to option out a 2021 Jeep Rubicon to see if I could come up with a good optioned comparison. I know many on this forum are Jeep experts so this is more for those that are just getting into this market. Here is what I priced out:
I tried to load as many options as possible to get close to a 4-Door Wildtrak (with Lux package) since this is what I am ordering. I have attached the build sheet just for those that are curious. But for the ADD individuals in the crowd my final price came out to be $62,850. Now the Rubicon is a great off-road vehicle and Jeep has had years to work out the kinks and the JL is now going on three years.
Here are some of my observations:
- Still no option for bigger tires, winch, lift, or I assume a number of the options that Ford is going to offer. I know that MOPAR and the aftermarket industry has this covered but it is nice that we will (hopefully) have the option to option out our Broncos from the get-go.
- Interior, while still nice in the Jeep (even if cramped) it is starting to get a bit dated. I know the hardcore off-roaders wont care but in the world of Tesla interiors, the options for bigger than a 8" screen are becoming more of the norm.
- Engines, Jeep definitely has some good choices that would be made all the better if they do indeed bring the 392 to market. The 8-speed auto is a great transmission but I think that Bronco has them topped with the 10 Speed and 7 Speed manual.
- Colors on Jeep are pretty good although lately I haven't liked some of the off tint colors that they have brought out (weird greys and greens). I do like the color that I chose on the build though and would love to see a Maroon or Burgundy Bronco (with a white top of course!!!)
Anyway, this exercise made me feel a little better going into B&P as I know my Wildtrak is going to push $60K+ after I am done optioning it out but I still think it will be a much better vehicle than a 2021 Rubicon.
