What's people thoughts on the rear window?

Horizontal middle slider like on many trucks.

Full vertical slider like the Toyota Tundra.


Being able to take the doors off, top off, and lay the front window down it would be shame if the rear window wasn't removable.

Would be pretty sweet daily with all the windows rolled down. Plus it could open up to the truck bed, with a seal between cab & canopy.

Honestly if I had to guess, I'd say it's just fixed in place... here's why:

1. None of the test mules seen so far have a horizontal slider, and between the recent videos and all the spy photos we've gotten some fairly clear view straight through the vehicle, so I don't think it'll have a horizontal slider.
2. If the window wasn't part of the hard top (ie: it's part of the cab), when you pulled the hard top off you'd have these two long, skinny C-pillars hanging off the top that would be hard to keep from breaking off without anything supporting them.
3. A Tundra-style rolldown window would have to be standard regardless of which top you got - and we know the JT will be offered with a soft top. It could be difficult to get a large, glass roll up window to play nicely with a soft top.

That said, I think it'd be awesome if it came with a Tundra-style vertically sliding rear window.

If it's fixed I'll be bummmed. At least give it the small horizontal slider. I use it all the time in my F-150.

Fixed but... have the front bulkhead of the bed removable so the bed is 6.5 ft.

You talking like the old Chevy Avalanche style?
Something like that though it is much easier when the bed is integrated into the body which the jeep doesn't have. However, having a 6.5' bed on demand would be sweet.
