I am looking to place my 2019 4dr Rubicon order very soon but i'm very torn on whether or not to get the perforated leather option. My Rengade's leather looks wrinkly and old in just 2 years of use, but my brother's 2 year cherokee with perforated leather still looks brand new. Also, does anyone know if the option will delete the Rubicon logo stitched into the seat? If anyone has pictures that would be greatly appreciated.

I don’t have perforated, but if you go that way you might be able to add AC later. Don’t know on the delete. I got this factory.

So is that the stitched option and is that a Rubicon?

His pic is of the hex stitched leather, factory Katzkin option code CBS. The perforated is code CBQ. The area with the raised hex’s is instead a flat perforated leather on the perforated option.

Your order will be cloth interior with an upcharge of about $1750 minus any dealer invoice discounts. You will lose the fold-down center console/headrest in the back seat and the rear cup holders are on the floor. You also lose the leather dash and instead get a silver metal Sport S style dash similar to the Rubicon red metal. I love my configuration. Very satisfied.

Do you get leather on the doors/console/shifter? What about the gap cover behind the rear seats? Is that included, as it is with regular leather?

Steering wheel, arm rests are leather like the leather option on the Sahara, but no gap cover (ordered cargo mats for cloth config and installed myself). Not all center console parts are leather: arm rest/console is leather, shifters and e-brake are rubber like a cloth seat option. The passenger grab bar is different too. For reference, this is still a JLU Sahara.

So, I wonder if the contrast stitch on a Rubicon would be red, or if they would change the dash to silver as well. These are answers I NEED.

Call a dealer. I have no idea. I don’t have a Rubicon and I have not seen anyone else post in here with factory Katzkin upgrade options. Lots of aftermarket Katzkin, but mine is the only one I have seen in here with factory.

Yeah, the dealers near me didn't even know about the Katzkin options from the factory, so the deets are beyond them. Yours looks sweet on a Sahara, but I'm thinking that it will be the same set up on the Rubi, and I really want the red. I guess I'll just keep searching the thread 10x a day...

Call Katzkin and ask them about it since they supply it to the factory. They would know.

Tried that already. They said somebody who never got back to me would get back to me.

I’ll start a thread on those seat option codes to poll and see how many people factory optioned for it.
