yeah, capability, tow capacity... those help justify some of the flaws. and the last bit regarding incentives is also key.
for example, a loaded up 2019 limited on my lot (with those adaptive cruise features and such the tester was missing) lists out at 49115. my goodness that is steep! we have that same jeep listed at 42472 after discounts/incentives though... add 0% that is stackable on that up to 6 years.
so compare that with say a 2018 rav4 limited with what they are advertised for and this months program(using one of the cheaper ones [non platinum].. about page 6 on trader for new cars in my area)... 6 year payment is the same (about 308 bi weekly) including taxes.
not really trying to say anything about either vehicle... more just that there is much less price discrepancy than people think or what is on the surface, and that goes for most cars... if reviews and personal opinion finds list prices on one to be crazy, i'll bet dollars to donuts that once incentives are calculated, the craziness is gone.
