Can I trouble you for one more measurement? What's the height from the ground to the inside floor in the rear? Trying to figure out how high my dogs will have to jump to get in the back. They are Great Danes, but goofy about jumping into the back of trucks. I usually have to pick up the butt of our largest Dane just to get him in the truck without banging his back legs on the bumper. I'll cut him some slack though since he had to have knee surgery on both rear legs due to ligament tears.

I have a 12 year old golden…i know the drill..lol. The middle of the rear bumper is the lowest point from the ground(the tire cut-out) for the spare creates a mini step…that height is 26.5 inches….the cargo areas floor height is 32.5 inches….My routine is I say front paws and my golden jumps (front paws only ) onto the middle bumper cut-out …then dad gives her a lift the rest of the way up…Cheers

Thanks! I'm sure she's a sweet girl that is patient and waits for her dad to help get her in the truck. Mine is a total spaz. For us it's sort of one perfectly timed jump/lift/shove into the back. I have to keep his momentum going and time it just right, otherwise it's a disaster.

Have either of you considered a collapsible dog ramp? Saves the pooch and the truck.

Circling back around to the OP, there are 392s available out there. I've been offered one that's loaded at its $83K sticker MSRP (that's less than a G63's current ADM).

My personal experience is that a 12000 lb. Warn winch has far greater utility than filling the same space with lights.

IMHO, my 2021 EcoDiesel Rubicon Gladiator seats are extremely comfortable. FYI, make sure you get the diesel. It is awesome, and has tons of torque (442 ft-lbs @ 1400rpm). Roll coal, baby! I loved it the other day when I went through the Starbucks drive thru, and she asked me to "pls shut off my motor, because she couldn't hear what I was saying over my motor noise." My neighbor mentioned I keep waking him up early in the morning when I leave, becasue of my "loud truck diesel." Nice, what a great compliment! Having 37 mudders put on, and the Mopar 2 inch factory lift, all good to go as long as you purchase and have all Mopar accessories installed by your Jeep dealer.

Annoying my neighbor is last of my ambitions. She's a chemist and knows a dozen ways to eradicate me without leaving a trace of evidence.

You can check nationwide inventory on Jeep's website. I found none in the Denver area about 3 weeks ago, but a small town dealer 200 miles away had one, and offered it at MSRP. At $80K+, they aren't flying off dealer lots, more so with $4/gal gas prices. Keep us posted what you find and buy.
