In today’s world of online commerce, purchasing goods and services has become easier than ever. With the quick tap of an app, we can order food, clothes, and other necessary amenities that make our lives comfortable. Before the global pandemic, many people had no choice in how they acquired various goods. Due to the growing necessity for quarantining and social distancing, online ordering became common practice as most of the world’s workforce had to resort to working remotely. It’s only natural that the process of purchasing an automobile would join the list of products that are available to anyone with an internet connection and a driver’s license.

At Spirit CDJR, we know Jeep, the fleet, the history, and most importantly, the advantages of owning one. For those who enjoy online shopping, you’ll be pleased to know that you can factory order Jeep vehicles and have them custom-made to your specifications. That’s right, and you can order a Wrangler in the same fashion that you can order your weekly groceries, and it’s easy to do right here on our website. If you’ve been curious about the process and its advantages, we’re here to answer all of your questions.

What Are the Advantages of Factory Ordering Your Jeep?

Let’s backtrack to the food analogy for a brief moment. Imagine you sit down at a restaurant. You place your order, but you’re not given a chance to tell the waiter or waitress the specifics of how you want your meal prepared. The result is something that might taste good and feel fulfilling, but there are a few ingredients that you could do without and maybe a few that are missing that would have been to your liking. In a nutshell, choosing to factory order your Jeep means that you’ll have what you want and none of what you don’t. You’ll be able to customize your trim level to your liking and precise specifications.

Going through the factory means you won’t have to settle for something that someone else wanted but might not match your liking. After all, you wouldn’t order a pizza with anchovies if you don’t even like them, would you?

The Ordering Process Is Simple

You’ll have more options than ever when you start to build your own model. The vehicle selection isn’t limited to just a few models or select trims; the entire Jeep fleet is available for complete customization. The choice is yours to do what you want, from the exterior color to interior amenities. We’ve decided to walk through a hypothetical process to illustrate how easy the process is and the options you’ll have to work with.

Start by choosing the type of Jeep you want. Whether you want to go with the Wrangler, Compass, or Grand Wagoneer, they’re all here to choose from. For this exercise, we’ll be going with the Jeep Wrangler, as the Wrangler is one of the most popular models on the road today.

Next, you’ll want to find the ideal trim level that agrees with your wants and needs. For instance, if you’re buying a 2022 Jeep Wrangler, you’ll have a total of twelve different trims to choose from, each one with its own unique advantages. Take a look at the starting MSRP for each one; this will give you an idea of where your customization process begins. It’s important to stay within your means and don’t overspend. We advise setting up a budget before the ordering process to keep things affordable.

Once your model and trim level have been chosen, it’s time to choose the type of exterior you want. You’ll have some important choices to make. While color is usually easy, there are other chances to fine-tune your Jeep with items such as tires, wheels, and even door handles. If you’ve ever wanted to turn heads, here’s your opportunity. After all, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

While spectators will notice the exterior of your Jeep, it’s the interior where you can really put your own signature on your vehicle. This is the throne upon which you’ll sit and survey your kingdom and the terrain you wish to explore and conquer. Opting for a stylish interior can make all the difference in your commute. Here, you’ll choose which color scheme works best for you. You’ll also have the chance to decide upon what infotainment screen you like and items such as dual-zone climate control. Remember, this is where you’ll spend most of your time; make it count.

The ultimate choice you have in front of you is which powertrain you would like to utilize. For instance, the Wrangler has three distinct engines, each one having its own advantages depending on what you plan on using your newly acquired vehicle for. The standard engine for the Wrangler is a 3.6L Pentastar V6. Known for its resiliency and durability, some users can get over 200,000 miles of service when the engine is properly maintained. With 285 horsepower and the ability to generate 260 lb-ft of torque, you’ll have the ability to tow 3,500 lbs with minimal effort.

For those who want a slimmed-down motor that still delivers plenty of performance, a 2.0L Turbocharged inline-four cylinder is also available, with 270 horsepower and the ability to generate an impressive 295 lb-ft of torque. This ultimate adventure machine comes with four-wheel drive, and to maximize control over the drive, there’s the option for a six-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 6-speed manual is only available for the 3.6L V6 engine, so if you want one of the other engines, you’ll get the 8-speed automatic by default.

Are There Any Disadvantages of Ordering From the Factory?

Should you decide to order from a factory, there are a couple of things that you should be aware of before placing your order. Ordering anything that is custom-built to your specifications means having to wait for an undetermined period of time. Some locations work faster than others, and depending on if a location has all the necessary parts can make a considerable impact on production and delivery times.

Depending upon what you have done, there is a slight possibility that customization can affect resale value. While your new Jeep can be customized to fit your needs, it might not adhere to someone else’s. Any vehicle you purchase is an investment, and it’s good to put a lot of thought into making the choice that best suits you. On the opposite end, parts that are built for better performance might add to the resale value. It all depends on how much life you want out of your vehicle.

Making the Right Choice

While having a Jeep custom-made to a person’s precise specifications isn’t for everyone, it’s a great way to have a vehicle that has a very unique and personal touch. It can be a choice that presents many options on what works best for you and your situation. When you visit Spirit CDJR, you’ll find a team that’s in your corner and wants to get you on the road just as much as you do. We’ll take the time to listen to you, your concerns, your needs, and your current situation. We’ll help you decide whether or not a customized model is best for you and help you explore all the options.
