Sadly I have a 15-16 hour shift tomorrow. I'll take my sleep. I'll just have to check when I'm off.

I'm really surprised they went with 35"s instead of 37-40"s

Good question. I've never heard of it.

I think it is. I have a 2017 pacifica (not hybrid). It is the main reason im hesitant to get the v6 in the JT. In the Pacifica it is a turd. Slow and not as efficient as if expect it to be.

Except when you change the suspension tires and add other goodies your towing and payload will still effectively decrease. The only reason the sport has a higher towing is because its lighter, and possibly has a firmer suspension. If you add the upgrades you'll be in the same boat as the Rubi

Unless you absolutely need to tow the max (and if you can afford it), then Rubicon it up!

Here it is. Reference for gear ratios and axle width. 4.10 and wide axles Standard on the Rubicon/ Optional (with max tow package) on the sport

Yes. The towering difference is likely due to the greater weight of the Rubicon and likely softer suspension.

I have to do the math. But Ive gotten just over 700 miles on a tank (24 gal) with the ecodiesel wk2. If I remember right the 3.6 doesn't come close in the wk2s. I also have a 3.6 in my wife's Pacifica with a 9 speed. Its aerodynamic and still only gets 25-27 highway and 17ish in town. My heavy...

Why would you upgrade the axles on the Rubicon but not the Sport? They are the same axles minus the lockers (sport with max tow has the Dana 44 wide 4.10 gears just like the Rubicon).

I'll likely get gator, but if in person it's not quite the same, my back up is gobi

They'll probably wait to release it until right after I buy mine, forcing me to live a life of regret.

This is worrying me. I hope it does better that its specs portray on my mountain switchbacks

I hope

Not soon enough. But I also really hope they have a breakthrough and surprise us early.

We may need an after market quadra steer system...

Being the JT is longer than the other midsized crewcab short bed trucks. I'm curious as to how it compares to the others.

So the big draw for me is easier city parking and the ability to navigate tight mountain switchbacks. Do anybody have an idea how the turning radius compares to a JL, JLU, other similar midsized trucks and the half tonnes? Do we have numbers yet?

Slightly off topic, but related. I've never had a rag top vehicle, but I plan on getting the premium soft top. How does that do in the summer heat?

The only trucks I would consider are the JT, Raptor, ZR2, and Power Wagon. It needs to be a 4 door and able to handle both overland dirt roads and the itch to rock crawl at my local parks. The Raptor and Power Wagon would be annoying in town, a hassle on the mountain pass shelf roads (with...
