Cost of 2016 or 2017 2 door jk

There's not a lot of markup on Wranglers. I'd suggest skipping the tow package, since it's just the hitch and 4-pin plug... doesn't change the radiator, gears, etc. $441 is the factory price, you can get the hitch and plug from Quadratec for $90, and install will only take 30 minutes.

Invoice price is fairly easy to negotiate to, and that's gonna be around $700 less given those options. With more negotiating, I figure you can get down to around $25,500, but they'll try to make that up on the financing. Good luck!

Doesn't max tow package give you a different gear set though? To 3.73 from like a 3.21. But as a daily driver that won't see bigger tires a 3.21 would probably be ok

This was my understanding too. I currently have 3.21 gears and can't wait to swap them out for something deeper like 3.73 or 4.10 (2013 Sahara Unlimited without factory towing package)

But I think the base level tow package is literally just a hitch and wiring. Max tow gives you the gear change, from what I remember when I bought my 14 JKU.

Can I ask why the engine block heater? It really doesn't get that cold here and it's a gas engine. Not saying DON'T get it, i'm more so just curious why you added that to your list. They warm up pretty quick in my opinion. Way quicker than my 4 cyl import.

I want to buy the cheapest tire and rim option bc i want to replace the 16 inch steel rim for the rims and tires from the rubicon. I really like them but not sure if the rubicon rims and tires would be able to be bolted on the the base sport wrangler with the 16 inch steel rims? ANYONE KNOW IF THATS POSSIBLE?

Anyone know if the 2017 will have any different options from a standard equipment perspective? if i can wait a few weeks and get a 2017 that will come with anything for free that i would have to pay for in the '16.

The Rubicon wheels/tires will bolt on with no problems.. same bolt pattern for all models. If you plan on going with even bigger tires (35") later, then bumping up to 3.73 gears would be good vs the 3.21 standard gears (will add $619 to the invoice price).

2017 won't have any changes to the base options, maybe a new color, but I haven't seen the specs yet. The changes are usually only included in the higher packages anyhow, the base model generally stays stripped down. The ordering specs will be out in a few weeks, can't hurt too much to wait (although the prices may go up a little). You'll have to order the Jeep regardless to get a true base model, dealers rarely order them, usually getting the "Sport S" package as the standard.

I have a buddy who had an Island Edition JK (2010ish??)... anywho, he really, really, REALLY wanted a hardtop for his 2 door. I did some searching around for him but it was near impossible to find one. The ones that I did find were averaging around $1k! Just based on my experience with that, I'd say opt for a hardtop from the factory if you really want one. It'll save you a ton of time and hassel, you'll have it from the get go and even though it might be a little more expensive than finding a used one, it'll be part of the financing and covered under your warranty. Just my $.02
