Makes sense to add, it's not that big a deal to include. I get the idea from day 1 was simple but the world doesn't want that, there are very few of us cavemen left where anything more that the wheel is just too much technology to handle
Good point. I've had broken windshields in all 3 vehicles that I had heating elements in but never got an annoying warning. In a perfect world there should not be a warning for not having something like the windshield heating plugs attached but no matter what vehicle we drive there will probably always be something that us owners have an issue with. The person at any vehicle manufacturer that makes these decisions probably doesn't even own a car.
I was looking at dealer inventory pics and one had glass that looked quite different to my MY24.1.
It will have a female usb plug soldered into the corner and the dealer perform software update against the windshield
Easy enough to turn it off.
Your def of ez isn't the same as many others. lol
Just set the ADAS turn off as your favorite. I used to have the speed warning as my favorite, now I have the lane keep as the favorite.
Yep auto start stop sucks. One physical button turns it off. They are not many cars still for sale that do not have this feature. When I want a nanny free experience I drive my 2006 Jeep!
That's why I can deal with the auto stop start. The big physical button is right there just like my Bronco Raptor where I can program auto stop start off by pressing a single R button on the steering whee. The ADAS stuff is a whole other ball of unnecessary, heavy handed regulatory BS that '26 owners will be forced to deal with however they wish.
We are in agreement. I am happy to have my '24. The ADAS updates are not an improvement and the camera in the mirror is a downgrade. I like my Wolfbox mirror too much to give it up. But it could be nice to have the new steering box with variable ratio. At some point it will be available as a spare part and I might have it swapped in.
All good in agreement or not.
I don't have an issue with the steering either. It is so much better than my Jeep as to not even warrant a comparison. But I do have a dead spot in the steering with the wheel turning a degree or so in each direction before anything happens. This is not present in all Grenadiers, I have driven examples with zero play. I just got unlucky with my particular example. If the new steering box would eliminate this play I would be happy. It doesn't help that my steering pump has the much complained about whine as well.All good in agreement or not.
I actually have no complaints about the steering. I don't understand what the Agile dude is talking about when he describes steering as "intense" in the pre-'26. I drive on LA's 80-90mph 110/101/405/10 all the time and have zero complaints bone stock. Sure, it's no IFS Raptor or Tesla Plaid, but I don't shy away from the IG one iota because of its purported steering shortcomings (bone stock).
IA is stuck between a rock and a hard place. You got governmental regulations to incorporate on an old new truck design with no electric steering so you end up forcing your customers to deal with a half-arsed, useless ADAS system that is a necessary evil in an FSD/Waymo/Robotaxi era.
I actually test drove a $130K MSRP AEV Wrangler to cross shop and was shocked at how bad the steering was.
Exactly. And the alternative is not being able to sell them in many markets.
