Sky One Touch
Xtreme Recon package

The only thing I wouldn’t like about that option would be the excessive wind noise

- overhead/panoramic camera to see all around the vehicle (would be nice for mall crawling and off-roading)
- vented front seats
- that modular hardtop concept/patent
- steel lock box under front seat (Lexus has a safe in the center console of the GX)
- cooling options for the diesel

- an easier way to fit a single car seat in the middle without having to lose functionality of the other two rear seats
- a retractable divider screen around the driver seat so I don’t have to listen to my wife and daughter ask me why we have the top and doors off all the time

How about something simple: stop gatekeeping standard off-road features like a locker behind top trim, $50k price tags. Its stupid that the "premier" off road brand only sells lockers on the top two trims when you can get it on the most basic of basic Ranger or Bronco.

While I'm dreaming I might as well ask for a unicorn too.

Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto
Wireless charging pad

Better side mirrors. Or at least make them adjust out farther.

I'd also like to see more of an a la carte options menu, rather than packages & groups, but that's an industry-wide thing that isn't likely to change.

I don't understand all the bitching about the Pentastar motor. I find it quite sufficient. After all, it's a Jeep, not a flippin' race car. You want torque, get the diesel and suffer it's pitfalls

Wireless charging/android auto. Power sliding rear window

You can buy aftermarket wireless charging kits just need to be creative where to put it.

Make the Soft top when folded back to only uncover the two front seats instead of all 4 .

I am not saying I "expect" these to happen, I am saying to make my perfect truck ? a little more perfect:
1) Lower the Hight of the cabin just a little for better airo's at highway speed.
2) Locking gas cap door.
3) Hood lock.
4) A little less Nanny State warnings...Some of them are great, some just plain "overkill" and annoying.
5) Make some of the controls on the dash more functionally intuitive - start with those "wild and crazy" 2 rotary dials - lol.
6) Trash the always on FOB design for a push button operated one for enhanced security.

I am extremely happy with the engine power for a six, the auto-tranny if used efficiently brings the best out of it. Only into this 5 months but have never once felt "under-powered" on the highway and especially not in the dirt. Just need to keep it in the correct gear for the task. I don't tow so can't comment on that.

I also love the ride of my Mojave, perfect sweet spot of sporty ride vs comfort ride.

I would like to see a dedicated pass through (grommet-ed)the fire wall to add wiring/power for accessories.

 

[john#21]

Door wiring harness that is more robust.
Slightly wider mirrors

 

[TrlRnr]

Better sound system. Or at least the option for one.
Yes, I have the Alpine system currently. Woefully inadequate, especially for being the “premium” one.

 

[IanNubbit]

Why do people still say dead pedal from the factory? It’s not there because there’s manuals. They aren’t going to rebuild an entire new floor pan for the two different transmissions.

 

[Marlinvx]

Armorlite type flooring, shape floor and drains to actually encourage draining
cowl-mounted mirrors,
Oil cooler for diesel,
integrated brake controller option,
an inverter bigger than 400w (useless for the bed outlet, needs to run a saw, not a phone charger),
bed step of some kind,
functional reverse lights,
front and rear dash cam that records,
locking gas cap or door,
Stubby antenna
Taller bed height
cup holders that drain (I always drill a 1/4" hole in them)
Key fob not the size of a brick

For real. I popped the two soundbar 5.25s or whatever they were. Switched to the MBquart 6x9 kit, much better. The "subwoofer" is garbage as well. My 17 JKUR was bangin! They nailed the premium sound on that setup. The floor mounted sub was really good. Only vehicle I have ever owned that I didn't modify the stereo.
My new gladiator gets here in a few weeks, the JL stealthbox is going in, and have to swap the soundbar speakers again...ughh.
