Check for sure what the gears are. You may not want 3.21s with the S tires (32"s) in an automatic. I was thinking the Tow option came with 3.73 gears though?

The tow option should offer the 3.73's which is what I got. It is worth it!!

+1 on not getting the 3.21's

There are two different tow packages....the cheaper one is on this vehicle.....so yes it comes with 3.21. So If I plan on running 33's....I should get 3.73?

If you want to pay under 1% invoice, sign up for the treadlightly membership. If not, you should ask to pay the invoice price. Anything else, you should walk away.

Yeah we've been hearing that the 3.21's will ride fine stock with the new auto, but going any bigger and they suggest the 3.73s. Also, if you want to tow anything I would suggest the 3.73's as well... stupid they offered a tow package without the 3.73's, but that's another thread...

Is 1% under the invoice price a great deal? Or just an OK deal?
This will be my first new car purchase

Thanks guys.

Invoice and below is a good deal. Its a deal where after its said and done the dealer will not make any money. a great deal can be had with 3% below invoice + but these are very hard to find.

Anything invoice or below is good.

I got my 2012 JKUR for 2% below invoice. It was a sweet deal. Pretty much no haggling, I told them my price and they accepted.

Go to costco.com and search "autosave". Then select your vehicle and option it out. It will give you the MSRP and the invoice prices so you know where to start with negotiations.

Good luck.

I used the tread lightly affiliate discount. If you join for three years it costs sixty bucks and states you will pay a max of 1% below invoice.
I negotiated about 2% below invoice. I have 12 jku rubi auto. good luck.
