Default US vs UK

I was looking at the jeep UK website at www.jeep.co.uk and found some interesting information.

*You cannot get a 4 door rubi over there.
*CRD (4 cyl) is offered, as most of you know, but NOT on the Rubi, which I found very interesting.
*The Rubi is only available in an 4 speed Automatic.
*The CRD's have a 5 speed auto or 6 speed manual.
*Their site states that 2 doors can tow 1600 lbs with an unbraked trailer and 4400 lbs for a trailer with brakes.
*The unlimited is also 1600 lbs with an unbraked trailer and 7700 lbs for a trailer with brakes!

*Rescue green is still offered, but their color choices are very limited:

Black
Silver
Red Rock
Rescue Green
Steel Blue

The big question though is whether you can find a dealer to sell you one!

My experience of buying my JK when it first came out just put me off buying Jeeps from dealers for life - no one was interested and they had no idea about the product itself so I had to tell them what spec I wanted. Finally found one that located my Unlimited Sport in Redrock Crystal on a ship over to the UK and have had her ever since!

Still no accessories available so have to buy everything from the US and now the are so few dealers that you have to drive for miles if you ever want Jeep support.

On the good side though, JKs are very rare in the UK so kinda nice to be part of such an exclusive club

If I was anywhere near the UK, I'd so bag myself a Defender! Man, I've loved Landys since my dad had a Series II in Africa!
