Zach, do you have any Lunars available, or any coming in. If so are those at MSRP. I'm figuring if MSRP is the case I might as well buy the Lunar.
The market isn't the same for the TRX as with the Challenger and Charger. The group of potential buyers for the TRX is much smaller than that of the Challenger or Charger. Anything can happen but I just don't see the GP paying an ADM for a TRX. Look at the special edition colors for the TRX, I see Havoc editions once a week at MSRP and the Lunar doesn't seem to be doing much better so far.
Agreed, only so much you can milk out of the teets. Usually TRX buyers look to be gen xers and they don't throw money out the window as much as the younger generation.
That's great news, I do hope it speeds up for you now. If the rumors turn out to be true that the 2024s will be on an allotment basis (i.e. Msrp+) then whatever wait you have for your 2023 will have been well worth it. The frustration will fade quickly once you drive it off the lot!
You're probably not getting a 392 Rubicon for much less, sadly. I'm about to order one myself. I love our 2022, but I am going upgrade to the latest UConnect, power seat and most importantly, FULL FLOATING rear axle!
Granger is offering a decent discount on 2024 392 orders currently…. I’m just waiting for 100% confirmation on what Ram is gonna do on the TRX before I make a decision since it is my preferred choice. Not super excited on the Jeep colors though so I’m struggling with holding out for when/if they release limited color(s) or pick up a Raptor.
I like everything you said except "Raptor." You couldn't give me a Ford. My least Favorite part of the Wrangler 392 now is that ugly red interior, so I decided against the half doors to save some cash to completely redo the interior colors. The two vehicles are Apples and Oranges, and I personally like apples.... and oranges. So, I want one of each!
Retirement is for old people anyway. haha.
I’ve personally had good luck with Ford vehicles and I’m not opposed to many brands. Sadly what I’m looking for in a fun/practical vehicle is limited when I add the fact it needs to have strong resale value since I have a very expensive habit of buying a new car every year. While not the top of my list the Raptor checks most of the boxes.I like everything you said except "Raptor." You couldn't give me a Ford.

Agree to disagree on the Ford discussion, but for everything you say you want/need in a vehicle, the Jeep Rubicon 392 is the right one for you. It is virtually impossible to drive one with a frown. It's the most fun I've had on 4 wheels... and I've owned over 100 vehicles a this point and of course driven many more. The fact that you can run around in basically a 4wd dune buggy with no roof and doors with 500HP seems borderline illegal, but it's not and it's a blast every. single. time.
New to the forum but have read a lot of your replies and really find them insightful and helpful. Just wanted to say thank you! Hopefully the 2024 are NOT allocation based because then even getting a 2023 would make it challenging.Agree to disagree on the Ford discussion, but for everything you say you want/need in a vehicle, the Jeep Rubicon 392 is the right one for you.

I already know the TRX won't trump it for fun factor, but what it lacks in fun, it makes up in comfort and utility. So between the TRX, Rubi, and Hellcat Challenger (6-speed), I pretty much have something to scratch every itch (for now). I'm like you and rarely keep a car longer than a year or two tops. It's an investment I'm willing to make into my overall enjoyment of life (and that of those I love who also get to enjoy the toys). I work too hard to miss out on all of the fun.
Have to agree. I keep going back and forth between the 392 & TRX. Four vehicles in the household makes not more room for a fifth so I have to choose. My two boys each have JK's so I figure a TRX but not sure I want to drive a big truck in Socal trafficAgree to disagree on the Ford discussion, but for everything you say you want/need in a vehicle, the Jeep Rubicon 392 is the right one for you.

That's why I'm moving out of San Diego, so I can enjoy my TRX. And lower fuel prices.Have to agree. I keep going back and forth between the 392 & TRX.

I would be shocked if there was a 2025 TRX at all, but I could be surprised. If so, I can't imagine it will be Hellcat powered.
I travel a lot in California, from San Diego to Redding and every where in between. I t just floors me how widely gas prices vary in California, depending on where you are at the time. I can only imagine and smile if you are in certain other states that have lower gas prices.
Small world, I live in San Diego and own a gas station.
