I agree and was surprised when I read about it but I hadn’t verified and was hoping I had read wrong. Such an odd choice, I don’t really get it.
I’d like to think that since the cable run is short it won’t really be an issue, and the one 2018 JL I’ve driven other than being very notchy (...
I could be wrong but I’m fairly sure the JL and JT manual trans actually is cable shifted.
This install video on the link below shows the cables:

Anybody here have experience with the ram box cargo management divider? Seems like a neat idea, both a bed extender or folds into a cargo divider. Haven’t found one for the gladiator though.
I’ve rented and borrowed pickups with the fixed/rotating type divider/extender. Works good to make...
I wish I could turn off the weather alerts on my JGC. They are rarely relevant, usually alerting me to weather occurring 3-4 hours away from my current location, sometimes multiple times a day during the same drive while the sun is shining and there is nothing coming to my local area at all...
Last year I drug the utility trailer out to get a load of gravel in my LJ with the sun rider open and the half doors on. When he started dumping the gravel in I realized I made a tactical error... the dust cloud filled the Jeep and me and my buddy, we were half laughing, half coughing...
Curious what the added maintenance costs are. Things I can think of are DEF and the larger oil capacity ? (I guess, I’m not sure how many quarts it takes). What else?
Well the dealer you buy the warranty from doesn’t get involved some central/mopar?/3rd party does, as I understood it. But maybe it’s was BS, I don’t know. Bottom line when your sitting there signing the final papers after 8 hours of hell trying to purchase a vehicle your best defense is to...
When I purchased my JGC last year the dealer there had said that depending on where you buy the warranty (mopar lifetime in this case) has an effect on its usefulness. Here’s how he described it:
If you buy it with the vehicle, it works as you would expect, go to any dealer and they will...
I think the auto is going to work better 95% of the time for most people. I also bet that you get 150k out of the clutch and by then the MT is making some odd noises or grinding a bit when you shift (speaking to the NSG but hoping the new one is better) but the auto lasts “the life of the...
I tried a JLU when the dealer first got one last year and was pretty bothered by the steering as well. It felt tight, but, it required constant attention and adjustment to keep it going straight down the road. After ten miles that was enough for me! The other complaint, the manual in that one...
While I mostly agree with you I’ll say my all mechanical and completely overhauled 1947 CJ-2a goes about 500-1000 miles between needing something addressed, compare that to my other cars in the 10-15 year old vehicles that need brakes and plugs every 10 years and that’s about it. The computers...
My guess is that it will be similar to the plug in hybrid Pacifica, but it will be interesting to see if they use an auto with that or a CVT as done in the Pacifica. We’ve got one at work and honestly it works pretty well for what it is. It’s the absolute opposite of a fun driver engaging...
M/T for me, no question!
Last year I got a 2018 JGC v8 (with the 8 speed auto) because it was the best fit for my needs. The auto is one of the best I’ve driven—solid, fairly responsive fairly quick shifting and it allows forced manual upshifts (which is uncommon in autos but very useful)...
