Silly Rubicon.
That begs the question... What's the back story?
The auto world always works a few years ahead of when the model is actually sold. Maybe this is a prototype of the next generation Gladiator. Possibly 2029 model???That begs the question... What's the back story?
For a daily driver I love these features. My mom has a base model Renegade, and I have to drive it cross-country in a couple of weeks. No Bluetooth, no backup camera, no navigation - going from New England to AZ. I bought an aftermarket head unit I'm bringing with me to install just so I can have all of that. It does have a push button start which has started growing on me. Tire monitoring has saved me more than a few times on long road trips, too.I guess I am "old school", but I don't want: back up cameras, tire monitoring, traction control, stability control, start/stop, big honking tv screen in the dash, etc.

For my Jeep, no. Most I'm doing is putting in an amp with Bluetooth.
All the stuff you dont want is now federally mandated.
There are a few luxuries that I have grown to love. Proximity entry and push button start is just so easy to live with. Navigation in the dash helps when going to new places and prevents phone battery drain. Backup cameras make hitching trailers simple.
Unfortunately, a well equiped base model is not far off from a similarly equiped Rubicon, and that has delayed my purchase of a Gladiator or a JLU. Still on the fence which I want. Also discouraged by the ultimate price.
Without the Rubicon package (and even then, they really need 37s) these simply look like garbage. Waaaaaay too little tire for the body.
I want an update from @Moabite...
