High Altitude and Some Questions

[Wheelin98TJ]

That's where the disconnect is. If indeed the 2023 Rubicon, Mojave and High Altitude come with Alpine Premium Audio, why does my Monroney state it under standard equipment and Mr. Bill's possible buy Monroney doesn't? I think it is going to be hard to tell until a build sheet comes out or someone looks behind the seat for Subwoofer.

That is odd your window sticker specifically states it and the HA in question doesn't. I'm not sure I'd even trust a build sheet in this situation. I'd want to see the sub.

My HA window sticker mentions premium audio, but mine is a 2021.

I found the link to pull up a Build Sheet (10 pages long), and it shows this at the top:

Equipment Listing
VIN 1C6HJTFG6PL583194
Vehicle Description 2023 JEEP GLADIATOR OVERLAND 4X4
STANDARD EQUIPMENT
8.4" RADIO AND PREMIUM AUDIO GROUP

and this on page 4:

ALPINE PREMIUM AUDIO SYSTEM
FIXED LONG MAST ANTENNA

I wanted the white one, but it was at a dealership 1200 miles away. I went to my dealer to look at the one they had. It is identical, except it's black. My plan was to make sure I liked it, and then contact the other dealer, since they didn't seem to be interested in trying to help me get it. After a test drive, and looking it over, I ended up buying the black one from my dealer. I'm picking it up on Tuesday afternoon.

I ordered a set of the Teraflex Trail Rails, they should be here Monday. My RSI Smartcap uses the Trail Rail clamps to hold it down. Now I just have to pull off all my lights and stuff, and empty out the old one.

I think I did okay on price. They discounted it to 49k and gave me 29k trade on the old one (4.5 years and 57.5k miles). The last time I tried to order one, all they offered was $750 below MSRP (new sales manager on the monthly letters since then).

The only items missing, that I wanted, were the Bed Liner, Bed Outlet, Trail Rails, Front Camera, and Bluetooth Speaker. I already have one of the Tazer clone front cameras, that I never got around to installing on the old one. @AllMoparParts.com sells a kit for $300 that will add the outlet, but I may just purchase one of the portable power boxes instead. I watched the install video, and you have to dismantle a large amount of the dash to install the power switch. The way I've been using the truck, a Bed Mat will work, so I'll probably skip the Bed Liner. The Bluetooth Speaker was just one of the 'nice to have' options. Now, I just have to decide what to do with the 20" wheels. I have an extra set of 18" Overland wheels, and just put new tires on three months ago.

Here is an 2023 Overland for you. It's the one I ordered back in March of 2023, but I gave up on it as I thought it would never be built. I bought a High Altitude in October. This showed up at the dealership in January.

[Mr._Bill]

I picked it up Tuesday evening. This is the new High Altitude, with the old Overland in the background.
