2023 Gladiator Rubicon without plastic molle panel behind driver and passenger seat?

Seems to be a stealth change. Given that they're not marketed as a feature....probably no recourse. 'Specifications subject to change without notice' etc

I have a line item for behind seat rear storage too but I figured that was referring to the rear seats.

You're probably right one that.
While the one I quoted said "Premium low back cloth seats" on the dealer page, it only says "Rubicon cloth seats" on the window sticker.
That may be the subtle difference.

I thought it was just chips shortage. Since mid 2021:
Tpms changed
No engine cover
No axles drain plugs
No red dash for some Rubi
No Fox shocks for Rubi
No seat molle panels
.....

my 23 without the Molle back says “premium cloth-low back bucket seats”

I give up

Which TPMS are the "new ones"? My sheet says Contintental TPMS Sensors.

They eliminated the separate tire pressure module and integrated it into the Radio Frequency Hub. TPMS sensors are no longer back compatible with older vehicles.

NOTE: In vehicles built after 6/7/2021, all Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) functions occur in the Radio Frequency Hub Module (RFHM). There is a “dummy” module in place of the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) module which serves only as a pass through for CAN communication.

Those are the new ones.

That looks weird

I didn't realize I like my molle panels until I saw that image. Looks like a.... sedan. Those pockets always get beat up by a toddler, the molle at least seems to stand up to a daily beating of kicks with muddy boots.

AND - you lose the select-fill alert or whatever it was in Chrysler speak. Small bummer on that. Engine cover gone - feature in my opinion. Diff drain plug - minor annoyance cheaply solved with good aftermarket. Red dash, molle and fox's - I'd have been pretty unhappy had I gotten stiffed on those.

My '23 JTM has cloth, Mojave stitching and the Molle panels

Mine better have the molle panels. Gonna be pissed otherwise. Paying a premium for this thing.

I just looked thru some classifieds on Autotrader. I see 2023 Mojave's and Rubicons with cloth seats and the molle panels. I'm wondering if someone got the wrong seats installed.

Wow I was bummed to find out the molle seatbacks didn't come standard, but now I'm glad I didn't bend over to make sure I got them. I like how if I un-clip the top of mine by the headrest the whole thing folds down so I can get at the straps real easy. Mostly kids stuff in the back for now. I have to decide what I want in there for camping that the kids can't hurt themselves with.

I just spent an hour in the back seat trying to find the best way for 3 car seats and I have to say I am already over not having the Molle back.

Can you post the seat description that's on your window sticker?

I ordered my Mojave with the cloth seats (no cold weather group)

- Interior: Premium Cloth Seats with Sport Bolsters
- 2–Way Manual Lumbar Adjustable Driver Seat
- Behind–Rear–Seat Storage
