I don't think it makes any sense for Jeep marketing wise to distribute a 2WD, but it is, in fact, available in the USA...
Don't think we have it here in Canada....

At least 30-40% of the Jeep owners in SoCal could live comfortably with 2WDs, they buy them because they want to go topless.

The USPS and some parking enforcement and police departments also buy them.

And maybe even some disgruntled 4WD JK owners that are willing to do *anything* to get better performance from the anemic 3.8L might consider tossing 4WD once they toss the top, doors, spare, rear and passenger seats.... Nahhhhh!

Coincidentally, I have received 3 calls in the past few weeks from as many dealers I tried to negotiate with earlier this year when I bought my JK. I was unable to negotiate an agreeable price with any of them and for some reason they all seem to have found a 2WD unit with the exact options that I wanted that they are willing to sell for a couple thousand dollars less than I was offering for the 4WD I wanted. Chrysler must have put a large incentive to dealers to blow out the 2009 2WD JKs.

At the dealership a few weeks ago getting my free oil change and they had a ton of 2009 2WD's sale. I am betting even in SOCAL people know better.
