Official 2019 Wrangler Info Inside

[DocTwinkie]

@DocTwinkie - just saw your answer on blindspot. Get rid of it? Is it on the 2018 model?

It is.

It's done through cameras on the windshield by the rear view mirror.

Uh oh, does that mean they may do away with fold-down windshields? You know, the one feature that only 1% of Jeep owners EVER uses, and that 1% only uses 1% of the time, yet we all collectively freak the F out if they even hint at discontinuing it? I’ve got my torch and pitchfork ready, plotting directions to Toledo on the GPS!

[and yes, I am feeling particularly snarky today]

I can’t imagine why they would switch from KO2’s to MT’s. Goodbye smooth ride and good mileage. Hopefully it’s an option and not required.

Good call on their part. Think it will interfere with lowering the windshield? Not that I care. I will probably never lower it to begin with. Just curious. Glad they didn’t mess with the grill which might have made winches, lights, and grill guards a hassle.

You wouldn’t be driving at speeds necessary for ACC with windshield down anyway!

 

[caitlex]

It is.

Well crap! Lol. One of the main reasons I was waiting is for Blindspot. Hummm, now only if the 2018 had the ACC. Dang it. Hubby feels I’d get used to not having ACC since we are moving from the beach area to more of the woods, so not as much driving on highways. Sigh and ugh.

No etorque for the 3.6? Laaaaaame

They didn't put it because they haven't figured out how to do etorque right. Haven't you heard about the crispy fried 2L Turbos?

K. I. S. S. and I'll add a supercharger if I need more power and torque without turning the Jeep in to a Prius.

Im totally on board for a supercharger.

No, the two cameras used for it will be on the rearview. European cars and others have been doing this for the last few years. Technology has come a long way with this. Pitchforks away

Yet again. Teased with the thought of a diesel for 2019 with no follow through. Ugh!

 

[W5MQS]

Well...I'm glad I ordered mine back in April and received it in May...not one single regret or problem to date. If I had waited for the 2019 model JL, I'd be pretty disappointed and most likely would have had to pay a considerable upcharge from the 2018 JL.

Does adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning mean it does not include automatic emergency braking.

This is clearly a typo, unless my understanding of the Goodrich tire lineup is completely flawed. The KM is a mud terrain, but the press release explicitly says all terrain. The question is which part is the typo. Fingers crossed somebody pressed "M" instead of "O."

Did I miss the most important thing?
What will be the price hike in Canada if/when Trump's crazy tariffs kick in?

I would still expect the deisel to be released sometime this winter. And there are multiple reports that the pickup will be coming in April ‘19. So I’m not surprised by the underwhelming updates mentioned in this thread. Those will be the 2 major additions for 2019.

I noticed that after reading it again. That gives me some hope.
