Gawd, I hope not.Probably something like this in 2023 but still with T-Case stick and Handbrake-
Dongle?...Does that work with android auto?
THIS is something I would love to have.Another feature that has been appearing in Jeeps and will likely make it into JL is the digital rearview mirror, which uses the rear camera to project the digital image into the rearview mirror.
So, for instance, if you have the soft top folded down blocking your view behind, this feature would still allow you to see.
Carplay is Apple so I'm thinking no. Not sure what the equivalent would be for Android or if there even is something similar.
Kenwood has a really nice radio that allows up to 4 cameras and also the option to leave the backup cam on while driving. I have it in my pickup and that thing is the cat's meow. Not the same as what youre talking about but still nice to have. Might be a good upgrade for someone who got the smaller entry level radio. Wireless Carplay, giant HD screen, upload option for HD pics so you can have a slideshow going if you want, all kinds of fun options. Basically like having a tablet, nice big touchscreen controls for the clumsy (me) too, very nicely done.
Sorry if I am repeating but I think the Bronco will force a faster refresh period for the next Wrangler. I could see the front end being an independent suspension since many of the reviewers have ripped Jeep a new one because (wow, big surprise) it drives like a truck. I wouldn’t mind getting an electronic transfer case but I don’t need the wheel for “sand,” “snow,” “water,” etc. settings. The Bronco’s three piece hardtop might actually allow one person to take it off. It would also be wonderful if the back seats could fold down flat and the configuration of the rear hatch/window changed so it doesn’t rattle and leak dust.
You'll be hard pressed to see IFS on a Wrangler anytime soon. And electronic t-case, no thanks. You'll see them ditch the folding windshield before either of those I think.
The internet has lowered, if not eliminated, the barriers to entry as it concerns anyone being able to post a video or three and claim the identity of an "influencer" or "reviewer". And so we have more than a few "channels" with content that is frequently little more than slickly edited tripe. With that in mind, I wouldn't give as much credence to some of these folks as they might expect from us.
Wrangler has always been about function over looks. That’s why Jeep never felt the need to redesign Wrangler more than once every ten years. Bronco is the faddish alternative for those who value looks over function.
NO TRANSMISSION DIALS!!!Probably something like this in 2023 but still with T-Case stick and Handbrake-
These genies tend to not go back into the bottle, unfortunately.
You have gotten many good answers. My big picture view is that the product cycle will be shorter and there will be many changes next time, although I doubt anything radical since 80 years of evolution has resulted in a fine product.
