So we have a Tuscadero JLU Willys Sport and have been kicking around the idea of trading it in for something with power.

Guess we’ll be ordering a Tuscadero JT ?‍♂??

Shhh! Nah, I keep nothing from her. Thanks Papa, I'll let her know, let her make the call.
Back in January 2023 I was in the dealership having something done on my JT. I chose to wait. So i was wandering around in the showroom and there sat a purple Wrangler Sahara.
my wife had been saying for years "I want a purple Jeep". Every time we upgraded her Grand Cherokees, she'd hound the sales person - can I get it in purple or "how much would it cost to paint it" and I told her - she didn't even want to go there!
So I took a shot of that reign Wrangler in the show room, and texted it to her - TEASING "here's a purple Jeep for you".
Next thing I get back is "how much" and "is it for sale?!"
That started a nearly week-long search of the whole country using autotrader, jeep and all of the other sites I could come up with to find her a purple Jeep. OF course this was like 3 months after they stopped production of that limited run of reign.
I found something like 220 total reign Wranglers of all different flavors and engines and so on. Many were V8 or diesel, or missing things necessary for her with her handicap and so on, she did not want that skyview roof (I'm sort of glad, really).
She now has a 2023 reign/purple JLU Rubicon 4xe - the closest match I could possibly come up with for her needs. It's lacking the advance safety package - she really misses the auto high beam and I miss the ACC but she doesn't drive as much after dark as she used to - so it is working out - she just has to remember she's got to keep dimming the lights as needed.

Last year she was saying "this is my baby and I will keep it forever" and of course being the antagonist I just had to say "what if a new Pinkish Rubi became available?" At that time she said "Hmmm, that might be the one scenario..."

Random, but does anyone in the dealer realms know if the Texas Trail editions are still able to be ordered?

we’re wanting a Willys but the Texas Trail would be cheaper but with a nice interior. Just curious, thanks.

It was me ?

I've been (very) casually looking at Rubicons to get a fresh start on mileage and to get all those little Rubicon goodies that my Sport didn't come with.

I said that I would totally rock a pink Jeep. Especially once it has all my JT goodies thrown on it.

I think what you got is quite nice, but I might have a bias.

I checked with my dealer yesterday - Wrangler only. He tempered that with "at least at this time, who knows"
So no, not on Gladiator at this time. Yes, on Wrangler. Likely limited.

Still only the same 7 or whatever it is colors - no snazzberry, no pink, no sarge green, for Gladiator.

i was trying to find out what colors might be available should I win the lottery.
He'll, all we have is 5 grays and 3 colors, blue, red and green. Lol

Your dealer is misinformed

They show it there with half doors!? I wonder if that will be an option that is able to be ordered in that color. It wasn’t available when I ordered my Punk’n, and only this year has HVY been available with half doors. Interesting

No, he's not. He showed me the order screen. At that time there was no way to get it.
For all I know, it could have changed later that day, or even yesterday.
It's not "misinformed" when he's not pulling it out of the air but verifying what they can and can't order right in the the official dealership order system.

He showed me that he could order me a Tuscadaro Wrangler right then and there.
Then went to the Gladiator screens - nope, can't do it.

He's the sort that doesn't keep the screens to himself, but turns the monitor so you can see everything for yourself. And he also clicks and digs if he can't find something.
