Rear view mirrors often don’t exist in most shots where the camera is positioned on the hood looking through the windshield. I know why they did this (it obscures things that they don’t want to have obscured), but sometimes they don’t even take that little metal “button” off of the windshield where the rear view used…

At least one of those tracks looks like it came from a duratrac.

Missed opportunity to bring this classic back:

Think how much better those rock sliders would be if they were, you know, bolted to the frame.

The camera in the lead image is what, 10'? 15'? from the front bumper of this truck. Probably 4' off the ground if I had to guess. Look at how little of the headrest you can see from this angle.

I drive what, in it’s day, was considered a midsized sedan. I was stopped at a light the other day. Out my left window I was nearly eye-level with the rocker panel on a newer F150. On my right, I was eye-level with the front bumper of a Ram. In my rear view, all I could see was the front bumper of a Wrangler. It’s…

I mean, in my 4Runners you can only lock the rear in 4-low too... from the factory.

Probably done via machine. Ref: the first recall... considering the 2018 JL already has 7 recalls, some of which came out within a few months of release... and considering how much the JT shares with the JL Wrangler... If this thing doesn’t ship on day 1 with open recalls, I’ll be shocked.

I’m partial to this, personally.

Obviously that will have lockers but I’m more curious about their availability as an option on the more... modestly priced trims.

I agree. If I were made of money and bought one, I’d have everything re-welded by someone who gives a few more F’s than the boys up in Toledo do. Its a Wrangler, you know these bits are going to be exposed (suspension mounting points, roof crossbar, etc), why not either design it so they aren’t exposed (i.e. so we…

To your knowledge, are all trims of the JT going to get those rails at the back to protect the rear overhang, or just the fancy Overland and beefy Rubicon trims?

Toyota lost money on the Prius for a few years, too. Thing is, Toyota could afford it.

Today I learned that I’m from Philadelphia, apparently.

Step 1: don’t be poor.

This is the correct take. Gorgeous shot (& truck), btw.

Getting a 404 on your “Truck Trend” link from the story

Despite the fact that my entire family and literally everyone I know who has bought one has had awful luck with FCA vehicles... I may look into one of these purely for the diesel/manual/convertible/4x4/pickup aspect.

It’s nice to see the Wildpeak A/T getting some OEM love. Have these on the wife’s 5th gen 4Runner and have been really impressed so far.

Hate it when some moron in post adds in “tire squealing on pavement” audio tracks over cars driving on snow/ice/dirt.
