Perhaps, but does seem very strange to not have the mufflers covered from the side. Just looks like something is missing....I think what you're seeing is an optical illusion. They put some rigid pieces under the tarp camo to keep it off the body of the bed so it makes it look like its higher than it really is. If you trace it back to where its secured at the bottom it's right in line with where the CAD images show us the body line will be.
It’s just still in development. FCA is likely waiting for a vendor to deliver. (AEV?)Perhaps, but does seem very strange to not have the mufflers covered from the side. Just looks like something is missing....
I've spoken to both Matt and Dave from AEV and they both said they have no knowledge or involvement with the development. Could be the NDA talking but I've asked them both in person and that's what I got. It's either that or they aren't putting them on to reveal anything before it's time.It’s just still in development.

I believe they ran the Rubicon for real, with the JT running gear (chassis, drive train, suspension). They would have then earned their trail rating, plus at this design phase the designers have one last chance to address all squacks before production.So, it's nice to see something new happening, but I'm completely withholding thoughts until they actually unveil it. The fact that we're still seeing a JK interior makes me think these are all frankentrucks anyway.
What DOES interest me in this thread is... how well were these trucks doing? Did they actually DO the Rubicon? The full trail? Or were they just in the area? (I'm unfamiliar with the Trail, so don't know what I'm seeing.) They appeared to be driving home... so that seems good. It seems that, regardless of that excessive overhang in the back, they're still earning the Trail Rated pedigree.
