I have a 2024 Rubicon with the “35 inch tire” package and it’s awesome! Literally the perfect Jeep! Mine has 4:56 gears and I get 18.5 mpg! Already put 20K miles on it…she’s flawless! 👍🏻
In my opinion buy a sport and build it up. I have a 2 door sport that has everything a rubicon XR does. Found a set of 392 axles that gave me 4.56 gears, lockers, and heavy duty brakes. If you build it properly you’ll save money and have a better and more capable build.
@@KevinSmith-wr1sy I agree: Get a Rubicon right up front...nothing done to a lower trim will EVER make it into a Rubi even after spending big-money for parts/labor. And none of it will be Mopar factory-warranted, and you can't sell it as a Rubi later on (for better resale value) no matter how "better than a factory/OEM Rubi" your build is. And you're not going to get your money back on your expensive mods -- no one will want to pay extra for them. In fact, they may even take all that crap off and toss it. Get the Rubi in the beginning and be done with it...or, if it's a Gladiator, choose between the Rubicon and Mojave (same price but different missions). Forget the lower trims. Apply the "Buy once, cry once" policy. Get the Top Dog or go home. As Nike used to say, "Just do it." I took my own advice and did just that. ;-) -- BR
Have the XR package on my 23 Willys and love it. It was supposed to included a brake upgrade also. The XR package was a better purchase for pre 24 Willys as it included the front axel upgrade also. The 24 update improved on the Willys factory build.
My wife has a High Tide Wrangler which has the XR package. Basically that’s why we got it. They should all come with that package. I just picked up someone’s 392 final edition XR tires and wheels off fb marketplace yesterday for my Mojave for a good deal. The XR package is better of the 2 because you get the tires, wheels, lift and regear backed by the factory. As far as I heard with the winch it’s a 8k and should really be at least 10k. Putting that on a Gladiator and you’d have to have 12k. Only reason I’d buy another Gladiator is if it came with the XR package. I’d most likely want a different bumper.
8knwould work perfect in my opinion. The 2500 trucks like power wagon and super duty come with 12k winches. They are twice the weight of a gladiator. If I had a wrangler I'd be 100% happy with an 8k. Also warn recommends a winch 1.5 times the weight of the vehicle. A 8k is much higher than 6500 recommened by warn. Love the high tide package and the xr package!
Xtreme Recon package is a Must with the 4.56 Gears and 35's 1.5 Inch Lift you cant get that cheap aftermarket ...aftermarket bumpers and winch are way cheaper and dime a dozen BUT Regearing Jeep to run 4.56 gears plus new 35's is big $$$$....imho of course .
@Krystof.Veritae i think this package is a steal of a deal and being factory parts has resale value. I love this package. I have 35x11.50s on my gladiator rubicon with stock 4:10 gears and works like a champ. I barely ever need to go into 4 low. But would love the bumperwinch package
You technically can't "do whatever you want with it" referring to the fender extensions. Certain laws in Certain states. In PA you can have your wheels stick out past fenders to pass state inspection. So they would have to stay on for PA anyways.
I was bummed that I couldn't order the XR package on my '24 Rubicon. They won't allow it on the manual, so when I wear down the factory 33's I'll be getting some nice 35's.
Why the camel trophy FCX24? It hasn’t even sold that well. Both Axials, actually all Axials 24s are the same. They all just have different bodies. Plus they crawl like crap because the motors are tiny and they get hung-up on everything because they don't have portals. If swapping bodies can have different positions then FCX24s and CR18P should be dominating all 5 spots. The big 280 motor and 2-speed in Hobbyplus and 180 motor and 2-speed in the FMS rigs, not to mention the portals make these rigs outperform both the Axials and Traxxas rigs
Well, it IS pretty nice to be driving my Gladiator (Rubi) and looking at ALL the vehicles around me (cars, trucks, SUVs) knowing I have the most off-road capable mid-size truck (Top Dog) available. Yes, a Gladiator Mojave is also very capable, but it's still not a Rubicon. As for "serious 4x4/off-road focused" SUVs, only the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and Ford Bronco Wildtrak are competition...but neither of those would meet my needs (I needed a mid-size TRUCK) so they wouldn't even be on my List. -- BR
We were going to special order the Jeep Wrangler 4dr. RubiconX, but to get the Automatic Trans, one has to get the 2.0 litre turbo. We want the 3.6 but not with Manual Trans. So I may have to locate a 2024 Rubicon or buy a Jeep Gladiator. I presently own a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon and love it but garage space is reduced by 30 inches.Yanni
@@Jason-Samko You were right. Yesterday 10-14-24 I purchaed a new 2024 Jeep Wrangler RubiconX. listed for $71,600. My final price out the door $58,400. Thanks John
I bought my Jeep without knowing anything about off roading, especially the importance of having a winch. So now if I want to get a winch I have to throw away the stock plastic bumper, get a new bumper, get the winch adapter, and pay for installation. Not to mention losing the "bumper to bumper" warranty.
I would like if they'd offer the 35 package with 4.56 or even 4.88s on the Gladiator. I have a Mojave which clears 35s fine. I'm waiting for my warranty to expire before I regear to 4.88s and go to 37s with lift.
@@Jason-Samko I just replying to what a salesman told me. I tried talking them into putting the factory winch and bumper on my 23 gladiator he told me that and the cost wouldn’t justify it. Basically told me better to go aftermarket. I wouldn’t think he’d lie about what size winch they use but maybe he was mistaken.
Capabilities package?? More like a company mark up. My 21 ecodiesel was not expensive. Came fully loaded all steal, given no 35s or winch but still it’s 5k more than what I paid
I love Jeeps, but the CEO killed the brand. They stopped production recently, package availability isn't on on their minds right now. They will just be lucky to still be in business next year. They overpriced themselves right out of the market
No hate brother but you could definitely do these upgrades yourself for a lot cheaper. You said 8k increase for some pretty simple upgrades you could do yourself. My 2015 jeep jk came fully stock with all the plastic bumpers and stuff. Upgraded to the poison spyder front and rear bumpers for about $1300, winch was 500, tire carrier upgrade was also 500. Clearly jeeps ripping you off with this package in my opinion
also my Jeep is a 2015. The newer parts may be increased a good bit but realistically… the parts can’t be much more expensive especially for these simple upgrades and I’m no mechanic by any means but I completed these upgrades no problem
We got the 24Y package on our Rub X Wrangler, also winch was from factory but separate charge. I wish Jeep did the winch as a package but they dont on the Gladiator
Yeah I wouldn't buy another till the issue is a 100% corrected. I have a 2018 and it's been in for corrision 2 times to be fixed. Warranty out now, so my problem.
I own a ‘22 Rubicon and wish I had got the XR package when I ordered it. Many people think it’s an expensive package but, when you want to upgrade and need to get the rims and tires alone you are over $4k.
And yet I'd buy this package all day long for many reasons. Even if you think I'm out of my mind. I'd buy it before I paid for the xr package! I'd want both but if I had to choose I'd choose the capabilities package.
74K? Maybe a few years back good luck finding buyers now. The more you pay the bigger the depreciation hit. So you think 74K is a keeping the price real? lol. More like surreal.
@@Jason-Samko That's got to be well below invoice. I doubt I could get a deal like that in my city (Albuquerque) Nevertheless I have allot of pause with the newer Jeep/Ram quality under stellantis. Keep hearing the ones built under FCA were better.
Did I see that sticker right, 75k for a jeep. You gotta be nucking futts.. The steering will be worthless in 2 years tops. By far the worst vehicle I've ever owned. Can't wait till Kamala stops the price gouging😂😂😂
I live in the bay area no off roading needed. Jeep owners think a jeep is a flex. Most of them are in debt with the car payments. It’s not a flex to pay two thousand a month when you can invest that 2k in a dividend paying etf every month and retire in ten years. That’s what i do. Either way jeeps look cool but the mpg and monthly payment is a major road block for me.

I you are a true Jeeper and off roader this is a waste of money. 8k winch is not enough and the lift is worthless for off road. Save you money and get at least a 9k winch and a real lift kit. Those bumpers are trash. Buy a real steal bumper like LoD.

Buy JL Sport, and add all those options aftermarket. You still save 50%
Depends on your needs. If a sport will do what you need that is a great way to go
If you add lockers, 35s, sway bar upgrade, etc... It will actually be almost the price of Rubicon. Especially when discussing extreme recons.
The 35 package is a must for off-roading in my opinion or do something similar from the aftermarket in some cases maybe 37s

I've got to be honest until today I wasn't aware of the capabilities package every jeep & truck should have a package like this it's awesome
