One thing I noticed in the last two order guides is that Max Tow Package in now only offered on the base Sport and none of the other trims. This might be an attempt force customer to purchase the more expensive Rubicon and Mojave trims when some of the the standard feature in these trims are not really what the customer wants or needs.

I ordered a Sport S with Max Tow on 7/22 so it looks like the order guide is wrong. I could see why Max Tow might not be possible on the Rubicon or Mojave trims due to the larger stock tires, off-roading suspension, and skid plates potentially affecting trans temps. It possibly could be made available on the Overland trim but the stiffer rear suspension would impact the ride and the more comfortable orientation of that trim. In my mind, Sport/Sport S is the unspecialized à-la-carte trim.

So I'm wondering if the Max Tow Package will even be offered on any MY22

Jeep is always claiming market leading tow capacity. Hopefully that’s reason enough to keep it around.

That's good to know. Max Tow is a very desirable package for any non Rubicon or Mojave trims. I have always trusted the order guide over the online configurator for the current available options and/or packages. The online configurator currently still shows Max Tow available for the Sport S.

Yup, there are lots of special colors that become available throughout the year and do not show up on the online build tool despite being available for order.

RE: New JT Colors:

Well... Monday morning. No news. What was it about the NY Auto Show that was supposed to be the timing for MY22 details to be released? It seemed so certain, but now I can't think of why other than rote timing...

As far as I know it was just timing. IDK if a press schedule was ever made clear, but there was one for Chicago and it ended up not being about the JL/JT. I was hoping a NY one would offer hints.

I'm hopeful for the 5.7. Perhaps the 6.4 was a way to scoop up all of the high-dollar buyers over on the JLU side of the house and now they'll give the rest of us the 5.7. Am I correct to think...."if the 6.4 fits, why can'y the 5.7"? Or is that logic flawed?

Not at all, it's just that the margins are huge on the 6.4 whereas the 5.7 would need to be more competitive.

If they added the 5.7L to the Gladiator I’d lose my mind.

I was just about to post the same thing. I think they'd see a lot of current owners upgrading and they would bring in a TONNNN of new buyers. I plan to buy the 3.6 unless they do something crazy with the diesel cooling but I'd jump on a 5.7 in a heartbeat. This will be my first Jeep.

Would Definitely make me reconsider ordering a diesel - a lot would depend on the upcharge.

 

[flsupraguy]

If they charged me an additional 10k to have a manual with the diesel I would pay it. Yes, I am crazy LOL

I’d just pay it, it would be a massive improvement.

Id be so pissed because I just put in an order 6 days ago!
