Tow rating goes down quite a bit with the manual. Rubicons go down to 4500 lbs and all other manual JTs are at 4000 lbs.

Actually, it does have a rear window as confirmed by videos made by people who got to ride in it that night. However, the rear view "mirror" is a screen fed by a camera that I'm guessing is mounted near the highest point of the roof. As you noted with the "vault" tonneau closed the rear window...

I doubt the weird steering wheel will make it to production. That alone would prevent me from getting one. The only other things I really don't like are the size (mainly the width) and weight (I could be wrong here, but I assume it will weigh a lot more than a standard truck). The styling is...

Good point, I almost forgot the Bronco was supposedly coming to LA. I suppose they didn't want to take attention away from the Mustang Mach-E reveal.

I completely agree, though I could possibly see myself in one of these eventually. Maybe if they came out with a mid size version a few years down the road (seems a little big for me). But Tesla definitely set a new bar in terms of price and capability here. I quite like the Rivian R1T, but...

I'll be tuning in tonight, that's for sure. Should be interesting though I don't expect it to be produced for 2-3 years. I nearly ended up with a Model 3 last year until I settled on my i3s. Tesla makes interesting cars - I'm glad they're around to shake up the automotive industry if nothing...

Or you can purchase the dash color you want from Mopar for about $300 and swap them in. You might even be able to swap for free if you find someone else on the forum here looking for your color dash.

Jeep's been charging $195 for some colors (including Hydro Blue) since early October. Several options saw small increases at that time. My build ended up about $400 more because I waited a bit too long ...

Actually, the Overland has a lower tow rating of 6000 lb (with auto). The Rubicon has more weight, but an even higher GVWR than the Overland to make up for it. Not to mention better gearing for towing in the diffs and slightly wider/beefier axles. If you want a manual transmission (like mine)...

Nice, congratulations! Sharp looking truck. I think that's the first one I've seen with body colored fenders and hard top. I'm still waiting for my build sheet to show up ...

One thing you could do is get a normal 2-4 year lease and find someone to assume the remainder of it after a year. Check out sites like swapalease. I've used it twice over the years - once to get out of a lease early and the other to assume the last 6 months of a fun car I wasn't sure if I'd...

I don't know why the Sport S with no tow package is special, but I sure would have liked the option for the 6250 lb GVWR in a manual Sport S with regular tow. This was one of the big things that pushed me toward the Rubicon. And I agree it is very odd that they would reduce GVWR when adding a...

I have no direct knowledge of this, but I wouldn't think heavier wheels/tires would count against your practical payload capacity. Unsprung weight is carried by direct contact with the ground and not your suspension.

I'm in the truckless club, too. There isn't much of a vehicle market where I live (northwest corner of MN) and I happened to be near a CarMax with a ride home so I went that route. That happened the week before I ordered my Gladiator so I've been truckless about a month now. I knew I wouldn't...

The wording ("body vendor is done") sounds promising to me so, yeah, I think there's a chance yours is done. It might just be wishful thinking on my part though since mine is coming right behind yours. This is my first time ordering a Jeep so I'm not super familiar with the process. We...

It sounds to me like your Gladiator is completely finished and waiting for a train/truck. I have heard on here that there is a delay between when your truck is finished and the window sticker becoming available. I will be going through this process myself soon as my estimated production start...

I've kind of been eyeing the Taxa Cricket. Expensive, but would fit my needs pretty well. They have an Overland Edition option coming out for the 2020 model year that is lifted 4", has a Timbren axle-less suspension, and a pivoting hitch...

Yep, that happened to me. By the time I specced a Sport S like I wanted and factored in upgrading things like the headlights, wheels, and tires I wasn't all that far off from a Rubicon. So I stepped up to the Rubicon even though I likely won't use the lockers and disconnectable sway bar very...

I have zero experience with overlanding and very little with offroading, but I am good at researching specs. The Overland JT has the lowest payload and tow ratings of the 4 trims. It has the lower 5800 lb GVWR and is heavier than the Sport or Sport S (more standard equipment). If you're...

Same here, though I hope my dash is red :)
