2025 Jeep Wrangler: No Price Change, But LOST V6 AUTO And Colors

Dealers in my area have a lot of 2024's with the 2.0L. I would say 3 to 1 they have 2.0s over 3.6s. And, dealers in my area are not budging on the 2024's yet, they are only discounting whatever Jeep is offering, not much else. So, this makes sense that Jeep is going to slow roll the 2025s to help dealers move the 2024s.

[@Jason-Samko]

@huntsimple9527 always good to shop outside of your local area too. I have bought 38 new trucks and for the last 15 years only buy with great deals. Since I started doing that I have not been able to buy a teuck within 3 hours of where I live. Doesn't matter if it was living in Michigan or now in ga. I always find the best deals 3-15 hours away form me. Worth it! Think of a wrangler for 65 sticker for 59 local vs 52 a few hours away

[@Dc-ee8hn]

@@huntsimple9527 the reason there are more 2.0 is probably because early ordering on the 2024 didn’t have the 6 liter available. They unblocked it later then added a mark up

[@huntsimple9527]

@@Jason-Samko I agree, I have bought a lot of trucks 200+ miles away. I just wanted to point out that many dealers are still not dealing which would reinforce your thoughts that the V6 is not available in the early 2025's until more 2024's are moved out.

@huntsimple9527 yep some dealers are trying to hold strong on prices.

[@ianlaughlin85]

I will keep my JKU forever. I had the option to get a JLU or 4xe for the same price. I chose the JKU because it has less computers to break and I rightly guessed that the 4xe would have issues. I don't recommend buying a first generation engine. As far as the JLU, I just finished a year of fighting electrical issues on my Audi S5 and less computers under the hood is what I want. Also, I always replace the factory stereo on my vehicles. I added a backup and front facing camera with a 13" head unit that plays video and runs apps for under $500. I did the work myself and 1.5 years later everything works perfect. The head unit replacement was the best decision I made so far and I've done a lot to this jeep. Plus, I sold the old one and got $200 back. You could buy a JLU for $30k and have a monster if you put another $30k into it!

[@davids.9834]

A TJ with the 4.0.... anybody who actually off-roads knows this is the one to get. But.... the JK isnt bad, I just love the 4.0 and there is a reason people like "matts offroad recovery" jeep, uses the 4.0. I never see these computerized "mom haulers" out on the trail and honestly the people who buy them would be better off just buying a mini van.. and being honest with themselves.

[@Jason-Samko]

Ian, Very nice! I like the way you think.

[@valkyrieweaver9004]

1 the 4 with turbo was awesome when I had one. but remember a manual transmission really effects your resell/tradein worth BIG TIME

[@NemeanLion-]

Just my 2 cents from the peanut gallery, but I think this whole thing stemmed from Stellantis being greedy and driving up the price of the wrangler for too many years. Nowadays though, every 4 x 4 has a front and rear locker and a disconnecting swaybar. I’m not saying they’re as good off road as a Wrangler but the days of the wrangler dictating the 4x4 world are over. Now they’re scrambling to sell overpriced vehicles with crappy engines because they figured the public will buy whatever they give them because they had the market cornered and had no choice. People are going elsewhere.

I have to admit, I would like the 2.0 turbo in the Gladiator with 4.10’s or even 4.56’s with the 35’s. Our JLU feels so much more alive than my JT with the 3.6 and it has been a great vehicle to date. The power difference is very noticeable.

[@sez2429]

They need to drop the price by about 20 percent w incentives to draw customers. Unless you truly use your Wrangler as an enthusiast and drive off-road (most folks don’t), paying north of 50 K for a Wrangler out the door just doesn’t make sense.

[@davidmengle8269]

why did they have to change the grill? the JL was perfect when it showed up in 2018. It had more of that TJ look. The JK with its stubby grill slots, boxy front, doesnt look as good as a TJ or JL (pre facelift)

[@scarthumb7835]

This grille fits the radiator better and has been bringing down coolant temps on people running the ecodiesel when they swap out the old grille for this one. It doesn't allow as much air to go around the side of the radiator. They also wanted to refresh the front end. Almost every manufacturer does this about halfway through the life cycle of a vehicle before a redesign

[@rmat9023]

@@scarthumb7835 yeah vehicle refreshes happen but the last 3 "wranglers" stuck around for a decade with no refresh. The stubbier grille slats enable better cooling? how so? Thats interesting.

[@scarthumb7835]

​@rmat9023 it's mostly behind the actual grille face. They have better channeling behind it and are closing up gaps around the radiator which forces air to go through it instead of around it. We did the same thing on a FSAE race car at my university last year. Dropped coolant temps by 20°F in both cases

[@Jason-Samko]

@archangelmichael8620 maybe. And I have zero complaints about the 2.0. But I believe the 3.6 to be one of the best motors ever made.
