Likely. My Sahara Altitude is fully loaded - the only thing I skipped was the LED headlights package.

There are
what does that off road+ button do on my new rubicon?....I haven't pushed that button yet. Also if Im just driving On dry pavement, should I turn off the traction control button?.....
OR+ changes the throttle response depending on if you’re in 4Hi or 4Lo.

In 4Hi, you get sharper response and it holds gears longer. Very nice for driving in loose sand. Love it.

In 4Lo, you get really mushy throttle response to theoretically make driving on the rocks easier. TBH, I kind of hate OR+ in 4Lo. The throttle response just feels weird as all get out.

As with all such things, YMMV. I’m sure there are other changes, but those are the most noticeable.

Pretty minor, but didn't they add something that honked the horn when you hit the desired air pressure while airing up in '21? I remember reading about it after getting my '20.
Yes, they did, but it may not work anymore because it's now 2022. It only worked while airing up in 2021.

Just kidding but my wife's 2019 Cherokee does that so why would Jeep wait until 2021 to add it to a Wrangler?

They removed it mid year 2021 due to chip shortage. My late 2021 build ( picked up beginning of December) was missing it. I was not told it was removed from the package when I ordered it. I was really wanting that too.
That's a bummer. My 2021 built in February has that feature.

I have it on my 21 and TBH, it's somewhat cool but certainly not something I would get all wrapped around the axle about of it didn't come with it. My portable air compressor has a feature that shuts itself off when it hits the pressure I want and for airing down, a cheap set of AliExpress knock off Stauns works great.
It's a bit of a process to get it up and activated. I don't know why they didn't default it as "always on" instead of the 3 or 4 menus clicks to get it going. It is cool that it turns on your 4ways as soon as you enable it though.

You said the 21s were worse than an 18, I'm wondering how so. More electronics? Also, mine doesn't have any wood in it whatsoever. FCA must have been cutting some corners in the 18s. ;)
I said 2021+ JL owners appear to be complaining more about electronic problems.

I found the details from an earlier thread: (I actually like Offroad+ in 4Low while crawling, but as John said, to each his own.) To me, it's a cool feature because it just gives you more options and potentially more capability in some circumstances.
Paste follows:
4L (4WD Low)

 Engine/Transmission Calibration: Rock Crawl and controllability focus, change in shifting schedule when rock crawling, pedal calibration shifted to de-gain and low range, operates at lower vehicle speeds

 Traction Control: Aggressive brake lock differential tuning at slower speed or FIRST gear

 Off ROAD+: Recall the last status between ignition cycles

4H (4WD High)

 Engine/Transmission Calibration: Improved sand performance/ wheel slip focus, change in shift schedule for sport mode, pedal calibration set to aggressive, operates at elevated vehicle speeds

 Traction Control: High wheel speed, slip tuning brake lock differential with no engine management

 Electronic Stability Control: ESC Off with unlimited speed

 Off ROAD+: Will default to OFF between ignition cycles
