I think that's pretty obvious by the ad with the horses. I have an EB and I love Broncos, but I absolutely love a V8 engine. I feel like they've been reading this forum.

People have been able to and still can get 6-7% below INVOICE on 2021 jeep orders (includes rubicon and gladiators).

I don't know the Jeep Sports are still $38k in my Area and the Rubicon is still $50k+

Sports are trash for the price and the Rubicon doesn't have anything more then my $38k Base+ Sasquatch 2.7. As of now with the wimpy 3.6 and 33" tires it has less. Jeep is crazy with their prices. I'm thinking the v8 Rubicon will be $62k+

On November 17th Jeep is introducing a new vehicle. It's highly anticipated that it will be the Jeep Rubicon with the v8 Hemi.

My thoughts are it will be cool but way too expensive knowing how Jeep is with their prices. So it's a non factor for me as of now.

IMO the 2.7 twin turbo v6 Eco boost has plenty of power pretty similar to a v8 especially with the tune for waaaay less money.

My Bronco 2 door build with Base + Sasquatch+ 2.7 and Auto and other extra goodies comes out to $38k. Jeep can't and won't compete with that. https://moparinsiders.com/jeep-announces-it-will-unveil-a-new-vehicle-on-november-17th/
at this point if Ford comes out and says one more thing is going to be late availability that's were my money's going.

To steal Bronco Reservations they better knock their prices way down. And offer lockers on all models. And the new v8 would have to be affordable. I don't see any of that happening. They'll use the hype too keep their prices high like always.

I'm guessing more like 75K

I seem to be the only one on this earth who *doesn't* want a Hemi Wrangler from the factory (and this despite spending a weekend years back driving an AEV JK with a 6.4 swap and LOVING it).

If Jeep were more willing to offer hardware like f/r lockers across the model range, like what Ford's doing, *then* I'd be interested in a JL. But the high-horsepower, big-budget stuff does absolutely nothing for me.

At the end of the day, they're still selling a Jeep.

This isn't going to be a war. It's going to be a rout.
In which direction? Wranglers are established and have a huge following. Jeep is acting fast and releasing a hemi v8 before we lock in our orders. Ford can't even give us a matching top.
