Default No 410 gears in new Rubicon with Auto Trans

Just wondered if anyone has come accross this yet. Went to the dealer to build the 2013 Rubi I want to purchase soon. We went through the build menu and were unable to select 4:10 gear set with the auto trans. It is also doing it on the build and price section on the regular JEEP webpage.

I just ordered an auto with 4:10's. It hasn't arrived yet but the build specs on VOTS confirms the 4:10s.

Dealer can still order, but it appears in the near future that it will only be optional on 6 speed manual rubicons or 10th anniversary (auto or manual). I had to point it out to my local dealer who then checked with Jeep. Perhaps an effort to improve fleet fuel economy.

It seems the 2dr build page will let you select auto with 4.10 gears, but the 4dr build page won't.

That is strange. I know for a fact it is an option on both.

If you add the tow package, you can tow stuff around, but you still can't add the 4.10s.

I wanted to get the auto with 410 since I'm lifting and running 35s to start with. Is anyone running the 3.73s with 35in tires? How's the performance?

35 and 3.73 it's tolerable. I would recommend gearing as soon as possible. Also I don't do a lot of wheeling just weekend stuff and random time when I'm off work.
