2019 Jeep Wrangler JL Info - What's New (So Far)?

[JeepAdmin]

It was my understanding that they can’t put ACC and FCW in the Wrangler because the cameras/sensors wouldn’t work with the windshield down.
Now, that was the comment from a reviewer on YouTube after attending the release/test drive in CO in the spring. Pretty sure it’s illegal to drive with you window down on public roads isn’t it? So it wouldn’t matter?

Also, on the JT, will they offer a two door model? It just looks too long in a four door setup.

I think you’re off here. Multiple sources confirming ACC in 2019.

From spy pics it looks like it's on the rearview mirror, which stays in place when the windshield is down.

As for legality, I'm assuming it depends on your locale.

where did you find this pic?

Thanks everyone for the updates on what's to come!

Jeep posted this on their facebook page a few days ago. The headline was "Rock On", maybe hinting at a hard rock edition? But if it is a pre production model why would they post the photo now but idk...

Another thread somewhere in this forum has a member saying someone they know or a friend or something (can't remember exactly) informed them that Selec-Trac would be available on Rubis in 2019.

I mentioned 2 features that I said I "really" want - but really, it's three My first order was a Sahara, just b/c I wanted Selec-Trac. Then, wife and I decided she would be fine to "tough it out" and manually switch in to 4WD when needed (placed order for a Rubi). Selec-Trac would be preferred, though, for our Ohio winters!

Anyone heard anything to back up claims of Selec-Trac on 2019 Rubis?

Also, half doors are confirmed, but I heard late availability.

This is great news. Source?

Probably just as a promotional/marketing photo. Who knows. I wouldn't read to much into "rock on".

Mopar released the statement earlier this year. I think they said something post Detroit Auto Show when it was announced that the donut half doors were not going into production.

We are a few months out from being able to order a 2019. I've been planning to order as soon as they open. Is it normal to be this close and there be virtually no new information? Rather that is color, or options (really want to see the KeyFob shrink).

Any realistic chance of this getting delayed or is it likely to be identical with just M/Y being a 19?

Is this a special edition for 2019? Notice the silver dash, wheels and rear bumper

What's on the side of the mirror? I saw something like that in a prototype, but no explanation. Additional turn signal? Original blind-spot detection?

I assumed a sensor as well, my gf's car has something similar for her blind spot monitor

Yeah, that's where the turn signal repeater is on the European model. Just saw it on the recently posted Camp Jeep Europe pics.
