Got an email from Jeep Research Team. They asked me the following questions:

What industry do I work in?
How likely am I to purchase a 2020 Gladiator?
If a bed cover is available, what type would I consider purchasing:
- Soft folding
- Soft Roll Up
- Hard Filding

What type of roof:
- Soft Top
- Hard Top
- Dual Top

Assuming I was going to buy a Dual Top, how would I like to receive it:
- In Jeep in a box
- Ship to my house
- Ship to a different location
- A lot more options, but I don’t know how to post a pic

I choose to have with Jeep, so they asked a question why I did not Choose to have it shipped to my house.

The next question was about tires. They had about 15 different brands of tires that I would like to see on the jeep. The question after that was what type of side wall lettering are preferred. There is about five different options and sidewall lettering.

I actually like that they are reaching out to potential customers. It shows they care about they think.

One piece hard top would be fine for me, but three piece. only thing else I want is towing and automatic. Manuel is my wish but my better half makes my JK make some bad sounds when she try's to drive it. :involve:

As trivial as it may seem I would like “power up and down windows “
I like power as standard on higher trims, but would like to keep optional on both sport and sport s

Hard or hard folding bed cover. That roll up tonneu cover looks worthless. I like the Mopar one above the storage boxes but below the bed rack/cargo management rail, but waiting for details what that looks like up close (can't tell if that's just part of the bed box or not).

Dual top, unless the soft top really looks as bad as some of the photos that came out this week with it partially open. Dual should be shipped together with Gladiator.

Definitely need different tire options that what are in the current configurator.

Make power windows, mirrors and locks each separate, individual optional items on all trim levels, not all 3 coming together as a package deal.

I can't stand one touch power windows. I am smarter than my window. I know how far down I want it. All you have to do to make it go all the way down is hold it for 3 sec.

If you keep power windows and doors as options, then the S really isn’t a thing anymore... not that I’d be opposed to them simplifying the lineup by dropping the S.

At the end of the day, the only reason the S exists is to make it easier to force you to get some
basic features before you can get any fancier ones - like no 7” Uconnect with manual doors and windows.

Once I found out I get leather seats and max tow on sport, I am sold. I think the bed plug is only on S, so that is where I was coming from. If you could just get the bed plug without wiring the whole vehicle, I'd get it on sport...
