Welcome to the forum. This is a great community. I hope you pull the trigger on a Jeep and stick around for awhile. I cannot comment on the price of value of your Titan but the price for the Rubi sounds very reasonable. I would try to sell the Titan privately and pocket the extra cash. Trading it is certainly the easier route but not usually the best move financially.

Just order it now and start the waiting of the 6-8 weeks for it to come in. When I ordered mine I X'd off each passing day. It was the only way I could make it... Well, that and calling Chrysler A LOT for code updates.

Good luck with your choice and what color are you going with?

Make sure your state allows tax credits for a trade in going from a truck/commercial vehicle to a non truck. Not all states do. If they do the tax credit helps offset the 2k you could get extra for dealing with selling it yourself.

Well, I placed an order for a 2010 Rubicon Unlimited about an hour ago. I ordered a green one with a 6 speed manual, hardtop, tow package, and engine block heater. My price was $30,881 less any additional incentives that are applicable in 6-8 weeks when I take delivery. They also beat the other dealers by $1k on my trade, giving me $16,000 for my truck. I am extremely excited about the whole thing, although I will miss my truck.

Echo,
I see you're in the PA Grand Canyon area. I graduated from Mansfield University, but now live near Wyalusing. My fiance is already asking me where we can explore specifically near the Grand Canyon/Wellsboro. If you don't mind me asking, are there any Jeep trails you could recommend in your neck of the woods (or anywhere for that matter)?

There was a 2010 Unlimited Rubicon in St. Mary's PA. Green. Hard Top. Tow. Manual.

I almost went up for it, but decided on a different color.

I traded in my Tacoma on a 2010 Rubicon. I knew it was the right decision about .00000000000001 miles into my ride home. I've always had Jeeps though so I was excited to get back into one! Good Luck with yours.

Congrats on your new Rubi... Make sure you have the Chrysler customer service number handy so you can get your build status codes. That is until you have it memorized because you have called so many times getting updates on your build!
