Default Looked at a 2013 JKU Freedom Blue Pearlcoat

So I got curious. MSRP of the one I looked at was 35,9XX ish I think.

I don't like how you cannot get heated seats with the max tow package.

The new premium alpine stereo sounded really crappy compared to my 430N RHB with the kicker upgraded speakers.

However the new premium soft top is very impressive. I liked the leather stitched door panel arm rests.

The half leather half cloth seats are different.

I like the new color it's much deeper but the Cosmo blue just pops.

And the new auto dimming mirror with map lights. Neat option without it being dark to test I just can't see how the maps lights will help being so close to the windshield.

Yeah, probably not worth trading a 2012 at this point... but I am sure many will...

BTW I purposely don't look at the 2013's because that's how I ended up with the 2012... I traded my 2011 for it

Hey, wanted to mention that I just picked up my 2013 JKU Freedom Edition in black, and it came with the heated seats and the max tow package. They're out there, I promise!

I don't believe that is correct... my 2012 had heated leather seats and max tow - and they asked me if I wanted the same on my 2013 replacement (decided against both heat and leather, I live in Satan's Asshole, TX).

On the website it doesn't allow heated leather with max tow and locally I didn't see any with both.

It was a curiosity but I agree I love my Cosmo much more.

Is yours the freedom edition ?

Again according to Jeep.com you cannot order leather with heated seats with max tow on the Freedom Edition

You can get it with cloth.
