The same vehicle in a four door will see you parting with just over $58'000AUD.

Doing the same comparrision with the Rubicon model, the two door Rubicon does not seem to be an option on the Australian Jeep official site at this stage.

The four door variant will see you parting with $69'000aud and getting all the bells and whistles including Rock-Trac® 4x4 system, Tru-Lok® Front & Rear Locking Differentials, Front Stabiliser Bar Disconnect, Heavy duty front and rear axles, Heavy Duty Rock Slider with Step Assist, Removable Black hard top with Freedom Panels, Deep Tint Sunscreen Glass, Rubicon Hood Decal, 32 inch BFGoodrich Off-Road Tyres, LED Reflector Headlamps/Tail Lamps/Fog Lamps/DRLs, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, Remote Proximity Keyless Entry, 9-Speaker Alpine Premium Audio System including Subwoofer, Uconnect 8.4 Touch Screen Display, Satellite Navigation, Dual-Zone Climate Control, Remote Start System, 230V Power Outlet and Winch-Capable Steel Front Bumper.

The most capable 4x4 Wrangler SUV ever. Available 32-inch tyres, stronger axle tubes, larger brakes, two available 4x4 systems, rugged steel skid plates and more all add up to you being able to take your Wrangler farther than you ever thought possible.

Some of the key features of the all new Wrangler will include the iconic folding windshield which has been redesigned for easier use and improved aerodynamics. The windshield’s rake has been optimized for improved aerodynamics and features a new 4-bolt design at the top of the frame to allow the windshield to fold down quickly and easily. A new header bar now connects the A-pillars and stays in place even when the windshield is folded down. This allows the rearview mirror to remain in place even with the windshield folded.

Clever and secure storage spaces let you bring more for all your adventures. Durable mesh pockets that run the length of the doors provide a handy place to keep small items. The glove box is now damped and like the redesigned centre console, can be locked to secure valuable when the top is down. An under-floor storage tray is the rear cargo area also keeps small items out of sight. New for 2018, the available Trail Rail™ Cargo Management System provides additional storage options and allows easy access to your stuff in the cargo area.

The all-new Wrangler offers a range of new top options for 2018. The new Sky One-Touch™ Power Top (late availability), is the first-ever available power convertible top on a Wrangler, and opens the full-length canvas roof with the push of a button. The premium Sunrider® Soft Top now features retainers that slide into a track for easier rear passenger window removal. Further upgrades provide easier access to partial and full opens positions. The available 3-piece Freedom Top® hardtop has been made lighter, making it easier to use and enjoy more open air.

New available LED headlamps are available on Sahara® and Rubicon® for a truly distinctive look. With the LED package, the forward turn signals on both models are LED and are now positioned on the front of the trapezoid wheel flares. Included with the LED lighting option are premium LED taillamps. The lights deliver bright modern performance but still feature a rugged Jeep® brand look.

The all-new Wrangler is the most technologically advanced Wrangler ever. The 4th-generation Uconnect® multimedia centres include full-colour displays with pinch-in-zoom capability and are available with a 5-. 7- or 8.4-inch touch screen, the largest ever offered on a Wrangler.

Listen to Apple Music, get directions with Apple Maps, and make calls and send messages with your voice with Siri. Available Android Auto™ provides hands-free access to content on your personal device. Premium navigation with turn-by-turn directions is also available.

It’s cool but is it $60k cool not sure. See what the reviews are like

I appreciate the fall in the AUD, but can't justify the price.

I'll get a 76 wagon next time, or the replacement for the FJ cruiser if there anything decent released in 2-3 years.

I love my JK, and no other car has the same fun factor with the soft top, and off road ability is second to none, but the reliability and lack of decent dealership support are a constant worry.

I don't think the gear ratios are correct... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...aa6deee3e7.jpg

Mmmm. Well, I have really enjoyed my current 07 JKU Rubi. But $70000. I don't think so. Even less so if the reliability issues, death wobble and dealer performance aren't fixed. There is probably better options out there, for what I will want in the future. Disappointed.

Yea, considering the JK Rubi is going out at roughly $56k, the new JL at mid 70's is a little startling.

I was considering a Gladiator but at that price I'll look back at the boring old Landbruiser.

Think they're still fair bit cheaper than landcruisers! Jeeps done this before, overpriced new model and had to drop price by thousands months later. I bought new jk six months ago, was thinking I should wait for new model, glad I didn't.

When I'm ready to buy again, I think I'll be buying the latest JK model I can and transferring everything over from my current JK.

I was looking at a Gladiator but there is no way it as a dual cab would fit in my garage and looking at those prices they would probably want $70 - $80k and they aren't worth that kind of money.

I looooove my jeep, but when you can get a Japanese ute for a lot less... well, even my little brain can figure out the best option.


Good bye Jeep it's been the best 18 years... it's not you, it's not me, it's the bank. lol

I'm with you Nanook. Just checking some ute prices of late - the benz v6 is about 80k, the wildtrack is up there.

I'm seeing roughly 70ish for the Gladdy too, which starts making the landcruiser look good value. And I can't believe I'm saying that.

Yup, spend 25-35k on a low km jku, keep of much as I can off my 2 door to transfer over, spend another 25k getting engineered for 37s with lift and still walk out cheaper then a new Rubicon with a few options. Part out the 2 door to recoup some costs, along with the spare diffs and wheels ripped out for engineering.
It's still not going to stop me from going to check it out at the DBOR JL launch in February.
I want to see for myself if the extra ŕe-engineering is worth the price.

Ford are also going to bring out a new Bronco soon which is going to have a retro look. There is no word on whether it will be released here but Ford Aust would be mad not to. If they can keep the pricing down, it should do well.

I'm worried that at the prices Jeep are asking for the JL, it will become less appealing to someone who has never considered a Wrangler before. As mentioned, why spend that kind of money when it will get you a top of the range dual cab Ranger or Merc.

Anyway, it looks like the JK might have a decent resale value after everybody hangs on to them.

I am sure that FCA will drop the price.

They deliberately start with a high asking price at launch, and then drop the price to get at competitors.

It could be the best way of showing the value in money saved to prospective Jeep owners.

Existing owners like us are not turning the cars over quickly enough.

Well for starters, they both don't offer a solid front axle, which would limit off-roading. I'm keen to see what happens. I'm waiting for the jt to come. Prefer that over the cruiser. That being said, the cruiser does appeal with the v8.

Someone posted a pic of the jt with the service body on the back. I can't for the life of me find it now...

True, but that doesn't mean much to those that are in the market for a dual cab ute. They just want something that they can throw gear in the back, will go on the beach and the occasional fire trail. Not everybody wants to do the hard stuff so they don't care. IFS is the norm now when it comes to 4WDs, that's not going to change.

That pic you are talking about was doing the rounds on instagram. I believe it was created by one of the moderators from here. Definitely looks better than a tub.

Was it this pic
