First of all - hello everyone. Been lurking here awhile and preparing to pull the trigger on my first Jeep. More than likely will be a Mojave X. It'll be my daily, making a 40 minute work commute in the St Louis area. After driving one, I was really impressed with the comfort level it provided on the highway. We don't do Jeep things here at home (yet) but we visit the west coast at least 2 times a year and one of my favorite things about our trips has always been renting the Jeep and having some fun on trails or gnarly Forest Service roads. I always loved the Jeep in a limited vacation time span but never really saw myself driving one as my daily or owning one. Well.. I guess I've just come around now with the Mojave. I've driven about every other trim of Wrangler and a few Gladiators and the Mojave is the one I can see myself driving full time.
That said... I've been to a few dealers near me and really haven't been given any straight or consistent answers as to if what I'm looking for can or can't be ordered now or sometime in the future. I can appreciate it's still early for ordering 2027's so if I just need to sit tight I'm okay with that. Or I can go buy something I can get today if I get too impatient. I'm not really in a huge rush, but I'm driving a 22 RAM Limited that is the textbook definition of a "poor quality COVID era vehicle" and is now out of warranty so the sooner I can get into my new Gladdy, the better.
Below is what I'm looking to order:
Thanks in advance and regardless of what I wind up purchasing, excited to get into ownership and start my first build even if it's pretty tame by most standards

Below is what I'm looking to order:
- Mojave X trim - could possibly go non-X but the Selec-Trac would be nice for Midwest weather. If I went non-X I'd probably add everything else anyways. I'm not *totally* against a Rubicon, but the Mojave ride on the highway had me kind of sold on it. I don't think I'll need the extra goodies the Rubicon provides, and if I do decide one day I do, we'll worry about it then.
- Earl Color - Other than driving the Mojave, this is the thing that made me say 'ok, it's time' and seriously start looking into purchasing. If I had to go a different route, I'd probably say Anvil or '41. My only hesitation is what the greenish tinted leather looks like against Earl or Anvil. I think it looks great with '41.
- Special edition packages - These are totally optional for me, but I do love the different interiors of the Sarge and Rockslide. Also thought the Rockslide would look nice with the Anvil accents against Earl. Laredo has a nice interior too but looked like that was just for the Wrangler. Anyways, these are nowhere near necessary. I've had *one* dealer rep say that he could get me the Rockslide in a Rubicon (non-X), but every other rep has pretty much laughed at me for even asking.
Thanks in advance and regardless of what I wind up purchasing, excited to get into ownership and start my first build even if it's pretty tame by most standards
