So the press event was vague on details. Are we getting a Wrangler with the front mounted trail camera? Are we getting the new front and rear sway bar disconnect system? The gladiator seems great but I'd rather buy another Wrangler. Fits my needs better. Thanks guys.

Yes, and Seems like it. I'm guessing those will either be part of a package upgrade with the Rubicon.

The front trail camera is available on 2019 wranglers I think. The problem with Wranglers is it's really hard to hide stuff. That camera looks like a chinese aftermarket idea, not something from the factory.

No, the front trail camera is NOT available on the 2019 Wrangler. At least not at this time.

There's several things that caught my interest. There's certainly the front camera (one articles suggests that the grill openings are a little wider for additional cooling so not sure its a direct fit). I also noticed that there is another button above the sway bar disconnect called Off Road +. Is that the rear sway bar disconnect? I like the cubbys under the rear seat and the removable radio is really neat.

We'll start to see some of these features like the camera and Off-Road Plus crossover into the Wrangler probably MY2020 in some combination. The Fox shocks are what are intriguing to me as well. I'd like to know more about how they are tuned on the JT.

Well good news everyone, you can get Fox shocks from Mopar now. Part of the Mopar lift kit.

I wouldn’t be surprised if something of that translates to newer model JL’s. FCA will keep adding stuff during the model run so people like me buy new Jeeps every two years :)

The two best tires in the A/T and M/T segment (from the Falken brand) are going to be on the Gladiator directly from the factory! Hopefully that's something that will spill over to the Wrangler!

I hope the 2020 JL Rubicon comes with or has options for:
  • Front Camera
  • 4 Hi locker
  • Offroad + switch
  • Bigger axles without FAD
  • Fox Shocks
  • Gobi color
  • Stronger Rims
  • TPMS hi/low settings
  • New higher flow grill and the bigger fan (call it a hot climate package)
  • I'm sure there is more I'm missing

And a defroster that works on the ENTIRE windshield. LOL

I did not see the JT has a new defroster. I've always thought they needed some sort of defroster lines in the windsheild around the perimeter. Or just where the wipers stop. Of course that might make the windshield crack even more frequently.
