Wait or not to wait for 2021 model

I don’t think that’s accurate. Certain colors have gray dashes. Punkn has gray. If someone has a red dash with Punkn, that would be surprising.

Yea was at the car show today and they had Punkin with grey seats and the dash was grey not red.

Willys anyone? Sorry if someone mentioned. Didn't read all the pages.

I've had a JK and JKU Willys Edition. Very much my fav. I'll be a bit miffed if they make one in the near future. Although I probably wouldn't have waited anyway.

Its very unlikely that Jeep will change their production for next years JT. I would imagine their priority is preparing for a diesel version.

If anything, I can actually see them removing 1 or 2 colors from the lineup

2021 model will be released in the normal fall timeframe and expect info to start coming out this summer.

UConnect 5 may be a 2021 option if it is not a mid year addition.

I really hope it's mid year. Id count it as a reward for having to see all your gladiators and not having one of my own.

I originally was in the wait for a 2021 diesel club...until I test drove one. Driving it erased all my plans and got me started about 9 month earlier than I expected.

As a member of the “waiting for the diesel club” I would enjoy hearing your assessment. Are you saying that after driving the gasser, you decided it was good enough?

I'm hoping I'll be one of the first to throw a custom build down as soon as 2021 is available if my money is going right by then. Making progress paying stuff off here and there but the wait is Killing me!

I do think the gasser is good enough And the price difference didn’t hurt. I’m probably going to tune it and put exhaust on to get a bit more pep out of it. I wanted a manual trans and there is no realistic chance we’ll get a manual diesel so I test drove a manual JTR and figured it’s good enough for me since I only tow around 3,000 lbs about 10 times a year. While it’s not the best transmission ever, I love rowing my own gears and kicked myself for getting an auto JKU for 7 years, last time I bought a Jeep in 2013. The 4.10 gears seem to make the manual work pretty well. If I had to tow more, I would have had to hold out but for me the manual outweighed the diesel. This all sound pretty rational but I have to admit, I fell in love and threw all reason out the window and bought it. My wife driving it on a 20 minute test drive and loving it sealed the deal for me.

For those of us with 2020 Gladiators or having them already on order, do you guys think the UConnect 5 will be able to be installed aftermarket by just replacing the 8.4" center console screen? Or it'd require more than just infotainment center updates if there's more electronics with the behind steering wheel display as well.

Just read up on wireless Android auto and looks like it only works through your car's WiFi...meaning we'd have to probably be paying for the full navigation/wifi package once the free trial expires.

I bet FCA never considered that.
