2022 Rumors?

[869 KPH]

Yeah I hear you. I wanted this thing before the long freeze sets in again.

I think the least I am willing to do is wait on a new order guide. That is supposed to be a monthly thing, but last happened in April.

If the color I wanted was available now I would have already ordered. At this point it's like a sunk cost fallacy for me to keep waiting, but it is what it is.

Kinda what I'm doing too. If a new order guide would come out I could officially move on if Gecko wasn't offered at this point.

Lack of computer chips or anything for that matter shouldn't hold them back from releasing the color charts for 2022. If I knew Gator, Mojave sand, or another new release color were "not" an option in 22, I'd buy now instead of waiting. So they may move 2021's now by releasing the color charts early if there were no changes coming.

You know Jeep is thinking just the opposite = “If we tell them awesome new colors & cooled seats are coming for 2022 they will wait to purchase, so let’s hold off - they won’t be able to wait & will buy now!”

I've got (Chicago) auto show tickets for next month, hoping I know what the deal is and have ordered by then - but if not, maybe they'll use that as an opportunity to preview MY 2022 / 4xE / colors, etc? Maybe. They 'released' the Mojave there last year right before C-19. Was like the last big function I went to that year.

We’ll be patiently awaiting your trip report.

MY22 rumors not yet discussed here: 4XE and gorilla glass windshield as a $95 factory option.

I'm a definite yes on the latter. The windshield on my wife's JKUR is being replaced in a week or two (hard to get appointments right now), and we talked about going the gorilla glass route. Pricey for something as unproven as it is, and the warranty being void if a crack is longer than 2" does not inspire confidence since that's doable at the time the crack appears or within the same drive as a rock chip from personal experience. $95 is a cheap experiment.

The 4XE option is interesting depending on a variety of unknowns. Way too many unknowns. I live in the mountains, and everything is a ways away AND all the extreme ups and downs between me and everything else throws all electric range estimates out the window. I have two reservations about the JT; one is size (not much to be done about it, usable trucks are just bigger now), and the other is fuel economy. I have had diesels, and while that would normally be my number one choice in a truck, I'm not so sure about this one. My plan was the gasser. The 4XE could take the lead if they do it right. I'd love a manual, but not at the expense of my truck being able to do truck things (like it does on this platform). Similarly, I'd love a hybrid, but not at the expense of my truck being able to do truck things (which may or may not be the case).

Fortunately (for now), I'm in a position to wait happily. One of the two cars I'm selling left the stable last night. The other is waiting for the title to show up in the mail. Two hot buyers on that one. Then we can just sit and chill with the one car until I'm ready to pull the trigger... Unless my wife ends up needing to go back into the office on a regular basis. Otherwise, I'll wait around for MY22 and whatever color I think I'll like.

Completely agree. It might make me think critically about the diesel if a 4xE looks trustworthy.

Wow nice $95 for gorilla glass is a no- brainer. I saw they were making it a factory option, but surprised that cheap!

I tow way too often for a hybrid to make sense for me, much less the Walmart is 40 miles away. 25mpg + tow whatever I need? Diesel is a no-brainer.
Would love to have tow mirror option-

Diesel costs you payload and towing capacity in this platform due to cooling restrictions. If you need to tow, the V6 with the automatic transmission is required to get the best performance in that regard.

If you can now order Gorilla Glass as an option shouldn't the new order guide have dropped by now?

I wonder if that it’ll be released for the 21s or my 22. This article says in a couple weeks. But doesn’t really denote what model year just says June 2021. Heard from dealers, not Jeep officially.

Ordered my JT last week Friday and gorilla glass was an option I was able to select. $95 add
