Its nice they include the rail and tie down system but to me the power outlet is the reason to get this package. I am thinking that would be a harder aftermarket install than the tie downs.Lrtexasman just posted some pictures showing how high the bed of the truck is. In looking at those pictures it looks like the side rails to the trail rail system are just bolted on to the top sides of the truck. Look closely to the left of the tie down shown and you see what looks like one of these bolts. To me it looks like you could easily get these rails from a Jeep parts department one day and just bolt them onto a Gladiator if you get one without the trail rail system from the factory. You can’t order them from the factory when you get a Sport model. I have no clue what the large rectangular shaped black thing in to the right of the tape measure. Wondering if that may somehow be a part of the trail rail system or if it’s something different.
Isn't that the bed corner itself, spray lined?Its nice they include the rail and tie down system but to me the power outlet is the reason to get this package. I am thinking that would be a harder aftermarket install than the tie downs.
Not sure I follow. The spray in bed liner is a separate option from the trail management system. I am no electrition and HATE dealing with electrical problem in vehicles, but I don’t follow what you mean by the 115 volt outlet running off the same wiring as the power locks. I find this unlikely but then again as I stated I am not an electrition. My experience is that factory electrical is almost always better than aftermarket.Isn't that the bed corner itself, spray lined?
I like the after market plug b/c it won't have to come off the power locks, just straight to power, if I even get one. It's very useful.
I think what he meant was if you go factory, it would run straight to battery. If you retrofit on some kind of plug, the aftermarket might draw the power from the power locks on the tailgate?Not sure I follow.

The question was about a big rectangle; the only big rectangle I saw was just the liner. I must have missed it.Not sure I follow.

See the attached picture to see the big rectangular thing. I have circled it in yellow. No clue if this thing is somehow part of the trail rail system or if is something else. Maybe it’s just there so the tailgate will shut against it.The question was about a big rectangle; the only big rectangle I saw was just the liner. I must have missed it.
Its part of the bed stamping.

MEE TOO!I am sick of tech!
Thank you! That's what I meant. It's covered in the stuff they line the bed with...therefore it is "bedliner" lolIts part of the bed stamping.
There are still some differences between the spec sheet that came out after LA show and their build page unfortunately... I would trust the spec sheet on the forumFor everyone’s info I emailed the Jeep information group about the trail rail system and weather or not it would be needed for the hard tri-folding tonneau cover that would come from Mopar. To my surprise the guy told me that it would be available on the Sport model as well as on all other trim levels. So I emailed him back and asked him to double check that since their build site does not show that you can order this on the base Sport model. And he just replied back telling me that it will be available on Sport models. Hope that he is correct. Will find out from certain once dealers are allowed to order them. Hope this news makes someone’s day.
Hope you can get plug with non power doors on Sport...And for the trail-rail system it just shows it as being optional. So perhaps it will be optional on the base Sport model. I sure hope so.
