What improvements do you think we’ll see in the 2019 model?

[Stuweeks]

What major or minor improvements do you see Jeep making on the JL within the next couple years?

[JHJLUR]

Price will improve, as in go up... hahaha

 

[Matthew/E36]

Optional red dash.


Lol.

Exterior color options or a couple packages maybe. They shouldnt need to do a lot the first couple years, but dont know what they dis with the JK.

Mr. Fusion and flux capacitors?

Manufacturers will need feedback from owners as what needs improvement, seeing as they are just released and not many have had a chance to comb over we might as well be picking lottery numbers.

Introduction of an autonomous, six-door model with a third row of seats.

 

[Rockmaninoff]

I'd like to see the following:

1. A 6.4 V8 or 6.2 Supercharged V8

2. A proper automatic convertible folding softop which gives the same open air feeling as the folding manual softtop.

3. Center lockable differential with ability to disconnect front wheels by means of a transfercase. Also front and rear locking diffs.

4. Rear airbags.

5. Some way to mount 2 full sized spare wheels

6. Panels for additional gauge pods and JL style matched configurable gauge pods.

7. Heated rear seats and cooled front and rear seats.

8. Manual vent to get outside air when in motion (without having to roll down windows).

As someone that rolls naked often I hope they waterproof all the electronics.

7. Heated rear seats and cooled front and rear seats.

If they had added cooled seats I would’ve literally thrown money at the salesman. With cooled seats you could easily go topless in the middle of hot Texas summer.

I’m pretty sure they weather proofed the interior.

fulltime select trac with center front and rear lockers and 4.10 reduction transfer case on the rubicon

 

[Merica!]

A diesel.

 

[Covfefe]

Wheels that actually look good.

Exactly. A G-Wagon on steroids. I'd throw money at them if they did this, particularly combined with the diesel engine. Although I wouldn't mind if they developed a manually operated version that allowed locking of the center-diff with the transfer case lever (right to left motion as in some of the old Land Rover Discoveries).

Rumor has it this is exactly what the new Defender will be when it returns (live front and rear axles, AWD, and center/front/rear diff locks).

Did you hear that Defender rumor recently? Land Rover is owned by Tata now, and last I heard the long delayed return of the Defender (if it ever occurs), will be as a unibody vehicle. Would be great if it comes back as a ladder frame live axle vehicle.

 

[Schmeegz]

I would assume the red dash in Rubicon’s will not be mandatory w black interior.

I was hopping for vented seats

RBS on the V6

Maybe offer selec-trac on the Rubicon

If ocean blue was found to be offered in 2019 I might seriously hold off my offer till sept/oct and get a 2019 then.

 

[Orly]

An improvement in price?

LOL, who am I kidding.
