To get A 2010 or not to get a 2010. That is the question.

Default To get A 2010 or not to get a 2010. That is the question.

I have a Steel blue 2007 Rubicon with 35,000 miles on it and a 2004 F-150. I am considering trading both in and getting a 2010 Mango Tango Rubicon with a few more bells and whistles. When all is said and done I will still owe about $20,000 on the new one. Ok let me have it. Am I an idiot or should I do it.

I do like the new soft top on the 10's and the radio with the nav and 30gb hard drive.

I just traded in by 08 Sahara on a 10 Rubi. I say it's your Jeep, get what makes you happy.

Why don't you order the 2011 since there isn't much diff other than the tops(that I'm aware of)? At least you'll get the new interior.

I did not like the new interior personally. That's why I got a 2010 before they were all gone.

I did the same a couple weeks ago. 08 Sahara gone, 10 Rubicon in the door. Glad I did from what I am seeing in the new 11's. I do however like the fact that they are offering the volt/temp/oil pressure gauge set up! Something one can easily add but it would be (is) a nice offering from the factory.

A very tough question indeed. I will be trading in my 2007 Sahara with 21k miles in the next couple months. For either a 2010 or a 2011. I need to see the 2011 in person before i make any impulse 2010 decisions..

Default Keep your truck!!!!!!!!!

I once made the mistake of getting rid of a truck......bad idea. A smart man will keep his truck.

I'm not trying to insult or offend here. But a truck is a truck and if you have a full sized, paid for truck keep it around, it's the smart and handy thing to do.

Trade in the Jeep for the new Jeep. I'd trade for an '11 since you basically have the same JK now as the '10 models. This way you'd get the updates that you'll probably enjoy and you'll also feel that you got something new and different.

But that's just my


B.S.
