UPDATE: (ORDERED) Test Drive

[rojogrande]

Get the build YOU want based on your tastes and use case. I don't think the headliner comes standard. Some people prefer the aftermarket Hothead Headliner so you may want to take a look at that before ordering. https://hotheadheadliners.com/

Thanks. How hard are those to install? I’m fairly handy.

Not hard at all. Maybe 15 minutes.

Very easy. I've done it twice. There are a few youtube install videos if you want to take a look.

I second looking into the 4xe option for you AND the Hotheads (full kit). The 4xe would be great for you, even if you don't get full EV in the winter sometimes the hybrid mileage should still be great for your short commute. It won't impress you any on long drives but as long as those are few and far between you should be good. The 4xe was the best selling PHEV so with so few stories heard on here I think you'd be fine. I almost got 1, but fell in love with the 2 door on my test drive of a soft top lol.

Pretty sure it's at least 8 years.

"Wrangler 4xe Battery Warranty, How Long Is The 4xe Battery Covered?
The Wrangler 4xe Battery Warranty is an important aspect to most consumers. It is no secret that the replacement of the high voltage battery is expensive. To assure the customers confidence in the Wrangler 4xe Jeep has put an impressive 10 Year/100,000 Miles warranty on the 4xe high voltage battery. The 4xe high voltage battery is a 17.3 kWh Lithium-ion. It is comprised of 96 Samsung SDI cells. The battery pack is located just under the rear bench seat. Jeep states all the Wrangler 4xe electrical components are sealed and that they are also waterproof."

Another question for y'all. I was under the impression from the Jeep builder tool that leather seats were extra on Sahara. I saw the option of McKinley and Mopar leather. The pricing guide indicates that "Leather trimmed seats" are no charge. I assume that's faux leather or some mixture of leather/vinyl from other threads I read. Is this accurate? Can I get leather trimmed at no charge on Sahara? See below from spreadsheet. Thank you!
