2022 Options Question

[Shawnu22]

I built my 2022 order today with the dealer but realized a couple things when I got home. I can't find an option for the engine Block Heater (I am ordering a diesel) and is the Technology Group no longer part of the Popular Equipment Package?

There should be a Block Heater option. Contact the dealer while you can still change the order. Make sure it has everything you want.

The 'block heater' option is just a cord w/ a plug. The heating element is already installed in every 3.0L. Just buy the pigtail seperate, nbd.

Awesome, Thank You!

There are postings, I think in the Diesel section. Starting around September, the block heater is no longer installed unless it is ordered. Prior to then, it was installed on all the diesel engines and the block heater option just got a factory install of the heater cord.

Sounds like Jeep may have changed how they are doing things, my diesel is a 2020 so it has been a while -

These are questions for your dealer to answer.
What is published online is not the most current and accurate information.
When your dealer is online and building your vehicle that is the “real” information.

I agree, but yesterday when the dealer built my Jeep we couldn't find anything about it. On the 2021 build page it is a $95 option. At this point the dealers ore not even sure what the options are including. We even had to put on dual door option and tonneau cover just to print if off.

We ordered ours on Tuesday and the block heater could be added online but not when we officially ordered it at the dealership. The dual door group also requires to get a tonneau cover as well. Kinda strange but I guess that’s how it works. It’s our first jeep and was told the builds are 150 days out or so.

MountainDave, I can't believe 150 days?!? I have questions, if you are willing to respond I would really appreciate it. I will just fire them off below...…

1. Do you have a trade and if so how did they price your trade with such a long build time?
2. So when you ordered, you did not get an engine block heater?
3. Did you want/order the dual doors or did you have no choice but to order them? I do not want them but it said I had to, crazy.
4. What model did you order Sport/Overland/Rubicon/Mojave?

Thank for any help!

Hey Shawn,
I don’t mind at all! We would have a trade technically. It’s a 2013 Silverado 6.2 1/2 ton. Great truck and don’t want to sell/ trade but looking to change up a little. Life’s to short to drive just one vehicle. We also have a 1956 Belair and a 68 charger so we’re well rounded. So that should kinda answer #1. Trade in value is around 20k or 24-26k private party value with today’s inflation. So we estimate around 18 for good measure.

For #2.
When we were making the order form on the website at the dealership to show them what we want it was still on the 2021 platform. This is a very well known jeep dealership here in MD and they still didn’t have the online process for 2022’s. So we were writing it down and talking to the General Manager. The block heater was an option online but discussing it the GM he said it can’t be done. So basically sounds like the GM knows the details on 2022 specifics and is still some kind of secret? Block heater is minimal knowing I’m very mechanically inclined to do it myself. I just wanted it for giggles if we travel north.

#3. I noticed something weird here to predict for later so check this out. We wanted the dual door group for us only vs aftermarket. As we ordered the color matched 3 piece top and the solid sun bonnet (also a Tonneau cover was mandatory with the dual door group which was odd so we went with the 3 piece fold option at $625) with it so the dual door group went well how we ordered it. HOWEVER, what I have been hearing is people are ordering the dual door group just to sell the half doors at a premium later on eBay as a rare item. And make back the $4,990 option for people that follow the parts inflation/rarity market. Wheeling and dealing if you will. So the dual door group is completely optional and don’t have to. So not sure why your dealer said you have to. It’s a $4990 option that’s shouldn’t be mandatory. That’s crazy. .

#4. We ordered a 2022 Mojave, couldn’t settle on color so we decided no color at all. Lol so we went with white. My wife’s an architect and loves clean colors and lines. My grandparents have a white grand Cherokee 4.0 with almost 400k so white is good luck for us perhaps. Red is our bad luck color. I will say the build process for the 2022 is exactly $2020 more then the 2021. We expected at least 3-4 months as I’m a wheeler dealer myself and follow the lead times, parts builds ect…. The build was still a touch over 60k so this will be our last new vehicle for a looooong time. And we’re in no hurry. But had to put $1000 down to order. I don’t mind waiting as long as quality is top notch. May sell the truck as private party before hand vs. trade in.

That is great info Dave and I Really appreciate it! My dealer was building off the 2022 dealer builder site (crashed the first day, LOL) and the dual door/tonneau had to be chosen to move forward on the website. Dealer said it was probably just a glitch they will correct on the website but mine would not have those. I love and really wanted the Mojave but we needed a diesel/tow vehicle and the Mojave does not come with it. I have been going crazy over color as well but think I have landed on the dark grey. I appreciate the info, seems a bit of a limbo period between 2021-2022 model builds!

Gas Mojave tows 6000.

The dual door group requires a tonneau cover because they ship the extra set of doors in the truck bed. It's the same thing for the dual top group too.

we couldn’t decide on the mesh or the solid. But settled on solid. We have a 5 month old and didn’t want to hammer her with rain just in case we get stuck in a storm.

Yup your right for the autos. We went with the 6-speed. Aka “ millennial theft deterrent”. So tow rating is way down. We were also able to get the tow package with the manual as we will tow very light stuff every once in a while. I have another tow truck for our boats at 9k + lbs. But the Mohave will work great for our run about. I’ll also be adding a cable locker for the front diff for the real nasty trails.
