The dealer just let me know that the latest clutch recall was completed, so I will be picking up the truck on Tuesday! I'm super stoked to finally be grabbing it.
It's been a LONG time since I owned a jeep, and that was a 1992 Cherokee. I have never owned a Wrangler, or a Wrangler-esque vehicle before. I saw a study somewhere that said if people do not use a vehicle feature within the first 30 days, they likely will never use it (as they likely don't know about it).
The dealer experience has been great so far, but other than a quick test drive I haven't gone through anything about the vehicle in terms of features. If you guys and gals have any suggestions as to what to ask about, I'm all ears! It is a more basic truck so not sure what all to really look at, but it's spec'd as follows:
Definitely back to the basics on this one, but it's a truck and Jeep so it seems fitting. Just want to make sure I'm understanding all the settings and other little tricks going in and that I have an opportunity to ask the dealer about it while there.
Thanks all!
Edit: Another question... Jeep.com says the Dana 44 axles are standard in the rear only except on Rubicon, but my window sticker states the Dana 44 Heavy-Duty in both front and rear. There is no upcharge for that. Is that an optioned item or am I missing something?
Edit 2: Jeep's website actually doesn't seem to include 4x4 info for the Gladiator?? https://www.jeep.com/4x4.html
