2022 Overland with Bench Seat Order Issues

Just spoke with my dealer that I ordered my last two rubicon gladiators through. We tried to build a loaded 4x4 Overland with the 60/40 bench seat but could not do it with the other options I wanted. If you want to add either (or both) of the tech packages it won't let you if you have the 60/40 bench selected without removing it. So basically you have to order a base Overland with bench seat, or you can get a loaded overland but no bench seat. WTF???

I know on my previous builds there were times that you had to add things in a particular manner, or else they wouldn't work. It doesn't seem like this is the case this time but it's mind boggling why you can't have both. Has anyone else been able to build a loaded Overland trim with the tech packages AND the bench seat?

Ok I ran into this exact issue. In short I was forced to get the summit in order to pay extra for the bench. I was sold on the overland but deal was lost due to no bench. Another dealership had summit with bench.

Same problem when the 2021's were being sold. I think they don't make a overland bench seat with heated seats.
It's the stupidest thing! The summit comes standard with bucket seats and heated and you can upgrade to a heated bench seat. I guess the specific leather offered on the Overland doesn't allow it. When the dealer selected the two tech groups they were forced to choose a different Napa leather option (which comes with one of the two tech groups) and that selection is what prevented the bench seat option. Ugh!

Yeah my wife did NOT like the orange stitching, especially against the grey leather. It did look very out of place. Also, what was really concerning and steered us clear of any summits in the future was the quality of the stitching. We looked at a Summit with the grey leather that had 4k miles on it (dealer owner drove it) and all of the stitching on the outer seat edge of both the front driver and passenger was completely frayed and fuzzy. It looked like total crap and what you would expect after maybe 80-100k miles. I should have taken a picture. After we saw that we said welp that does it.
