# Ordering for Dealers Is Open for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Some fresh details just leaked about one of the most heavily rumored and gossiped-about cars of the year. Enthusiast site, [*JL Wrangler Forums,*](<https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/official-2018-jeep-wrangler-order-guide-jlu-order-bank-is-open.1467/>) has gotten its hands on what they say is the official [2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/15168/read-all-about-the-2018-jeep-wrangler-in-this-leaked-manual>) ordering guide used by dealers. According to *JL Wrangler Forums*, ordering is officially open for the four-door variant of the newest generation of the iconic off-roader.

At launch, the [JL Wrangler](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/13264/2018-jeep-wrangler-jl-details-leaked>) Unlimited will only be available in three trims; the entry-level Sport, mid-range Sahara, and off-road monster Rubicon. The only engine available for now is the ubiquitous 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with a manual or automatic transmission available in every trim. No surprises there.

There have been lots of rumors about different engines coming to the [JL](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/8770/new-2018-jeep-wrangler-unlimited-images-leaked>) like a 2.0-liter turbo-four and a diesel, but we’ll have to wait a bit for those to arrive in the order guide. [*JL Wrangler Forums*](<https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/update-2018-2019-jl-wrangler-timeline-schedule-2dr-jl-2-0l-delay-powertop-diesel-dates-etc.1341/>) predicts the four-cylinder will be available next March with the diesel becoming an option in August of next year.

The color palate at launch for the [JL Wrangler Unlimited](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/14136/spy-shots-of-nearly-naked-2018-jeep-wrangler-emerge>) will be, well, limited. The only available colors in this order guide are Billet Silver, Black, Bright White, Firecracker Red, and Granite Crystal. No word yet on when [Xtreme Purple Pearl Coat](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/15307/cars-with-loud-colors-hold-their-value-better-than-boring-ones>) is coming back.

There are a couple of weird things going on in this order form in regards to tops. It shows that the Dual Top option will only be available on the Rubicon with a black hardtop. Dual Top allows you to convert between a soft or hard top on your Wrangler. It also shows that ordering a color-matched hardtop does not require the Dual Top option like it does on the current JK model. Finally, the only way to get a tan soft top is if you get it in the form of a Dual Top. Of course, this is all subject to change since we’re still quite early in the configuration process.

Adding to the Wrangler gossip is the confirmation that Fiat-Chrysler will officially unveil the all-new 2018 Wrangler this November in another document acquired by [*JL Wrangler Forums*](<https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fca-document-confirms-jeep-wrangler-jl-reveal-coming-in-november/>). That means Jeep will most likely pull the wraps off the new SUV at either SEMA, which is only a week away, or at Jeep’s press conference at the Los Angeles Auto Show which takes place on November 29. Either way, we’re awfully close to rumors becoming reality.
