Does the JL have a auto-on moisture sensor setting?

Nope

No, but this stunningly beautiful Lexus does.

That is too bad. I love that feature on my 13 year old Volvo V50.

Just get a Rolls Royce, I hear they even come with an erotic massage function that gives you a reach around while you drive and comes standard with a complementary annual prostate exam for your convenience.

I just puked in my mouth a little.

Personally...I want to see the windshield on that 13 y.o. Volvo V50 fold down...The Lexus too...for that matter.

I don't trust Lexus' because they look like Cylons from Battlestar Galactica. At some point they will rise up and kill us.

I read that Jeep wasn't able to integrate rain detection for the wipers and still keep the folding windshield.

Personally, I have never liked the rain sensing wipers on any of my vehicles that have had it. I much prefer just manually picking the intermittent speed I feel is needed.

I was wondering if Jeep had this; extremely happy it doesn’t. This technology has not been fully perfected yet. The system is way to overly sensitive and the controls to allow for less intermittent wipe don’t work well. This comes from first hand knowledge on two Mercedes models, ‘14 GLK350 and a ‘17 GLC300 also a ‘14 MINI Cooper Paceman John Cooper Works.

I did not think I would ever like features like that, however I was wrong. In my 2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk it had Auto wipers, and auto headlights (would even switch from high to low beams when a car was oncoming). The auto features ended up being way more convenient than I ever imagined, especially the headlights dimming. I will miss that in every car now. I rented a 2018 explorer, and was frustrated that I had to manually do that. In a Rubicon I’ll be fine as there are a lot of other benefits, but it would be nice. On anything else, it will be a requirement for me.

I think my OCD over little details stops me from liking these features. I've always felt the rain sensing wipers go on too fast too soon. It aggravates me when the wipers are clearing almost nothing from the windshield and then start making noise from the lack of water. And the auto high beam / low beam in my Land Rover work fairly well, but sometimes switch at times that I wouldn't, or are constantly going on and off with certain roads and amounts of oncoming traffic. I shut the feature off within a week of getting the LR4.
