I dig the potential grille redesign, I would trade my '22 version for a '23 silver zenith's if they didn't like it.
I am willing to give it some time to get used to it, if they actually change it. Even more so if it is a functional improvement.

Could be different rims, 10 inch display, new grill, new interior materials, and, of course, that auto stop nannie device.

I'm going to start tracking 2023 builds soon. I just have to work out the logistics of it all.

Once those pre-production build sheets start showing up I should be able to determine exactly what's coming down the pipe.

Pretty sure orders are closed for 2022s anyways. My bet there will be some changes to keep things competitive with Bronco. Now does that mean uConnect 5 and 37s or hood stickers that say 20th anniversary?

I’m leaning towards some light refresh but nothing earth shattering. I’ll be placing an order June 15 regardless.
They have been offering 4.88 axle ratios on manual transmissions for a few months now. Is that a small test sample for a future release of 4.88s with factory 37s? hmmm

I'm very anxious to see the '23 order guide and brochures. If they don't have updated interiors I'll be shocked.

What are you looking for? I would be happy with:

- redesigned seats
- uConnect 5 w/ a screen like the new grand Cherokees

My predictions for 2023 (and 60% of the time my predeictions are right every time)

If you could pick one, which would it be?

- New grill with smaller slots (as we all saw from EJS)
- A 4xe with longer electric range
- New interior with larger dash screen
- The 500 hp inline 6 to replace the 392
- An XR with factory 4.88 axle ratios and 37" tires

Wait.

Unless they go to Lexus/BMW grills. ?. Evidently Chinese buyers LOVE huge/gaudy grills and they are the biggest, most influential market in the world. Kinda like Americans shifting design to tail fins in the late 1950s.
I’m (mostly) kidding

Sure...
While I wouldn't mind seeing some changes, the likelihood of seeing the Inline-6 in 2023 as a "392" are slim.

When Jeep announced the 3.6 engine for the 2012MY, they did it in Q3 of 2010. Such a major change would be announced a bit earlier, and with some fanfare to build it up. The inline-6 engine is no secret, but there have been zero mules running around all shrouded up and zero substantiated rumors that it'll happen this quickly. If Jeep had intentions to release the inline 6 in the Wrangler, don't you think they would have utilized the NYIAS just a few weeks ago to get the message out?

What Stellantis HAS announced is they have intentions to use the Hemi engines and 392 through 2023. Another thing Stellantis HAS done is called currently waiting 392 orders and given them the option to have their 392 order rolled over as 2023MY. They haven't called and said we will roll your order over to a new model in 2023, they have called and said if you want the XR package on your V8 order, you'll have to wait an extra two months.

The real facts seem to outweigh the facebook "facts" that are floating around.

Just my .02.

Cup holder that isn't partially under the console lid so that drinks don't get stuck in there hard to remove.

Lower overall position of console like JK so that my knee doesn't rest on the t-case shifter.

Phone charging pad.

That would be a great start.
