Kiwi, The 9 speed had both hardware and software changes for the 2016 model year Cherokee, and it works wonderfully. I have the 2016 Trailhawk Pentastar 3.2L and the thing is amazing. I get 22-24 mpg around town, 28 out on the open road, and the transmission programming works extremely well, it even downshifts on down hills while your braking to aid in engine braking. Instead of you always having to manually downshift to get engine braking, they put it into the software. Overall, the 2016 updates are really good. I'd take this ZF 9 speed in a Wrangler any day. Now, the 2014/2015 ZF 9 speed owners... I feel for them. So many problems.
I'm not particularly a fan of autos, but for the sake of the auto driving Jeepers I really hope whatever they put in the new Wrangler is better. That transmission was frustrating to the point of embarrassment.

That would be a smart move. Have you noticed the proliferation of cheap Chinese winches on pickups? It used to be winches, because of expense, were on vehicles that were actually driven offroad. But now they are a cheap mod for vehicles with "Off-Road" and "4X4" stickers plastered on them. Jeep may as well make it easy for the dealers to offer winches as a "cheap" upgrade.

why are the mirrors so large ? they look like lap tops hanging off the door. Not saying you wouldnt get used to them i suppose but whats the elongated purpose, protection looks like visors on top wich would be cool

I imagine a lot of that is the extra padding and matts that are on there to hide it from view

I can't help but wonder if this isn't that same chopped up test mule we saw before, just further modified to fit the chassis components, and they covered it up really well to get people guessing and generate more hype. To me it still just looks like a slightly stretched JKU wrapped up in a bunch of pillows and a blanket.
The only thing on this I've really been curious is it looks like that thing has a ton of frame rail showing. Almost like a JKU with a 1.25 or higher body lift. Which to me still makes me think it is that chopped up test mule. Or it might be their camo cover messing with me. Idk.
