August build w/ELSDToo bad I couldn't get ELSD on my '23 WLJS74
Yes Jake22, we have been through this before, that is a Canada build and a Summit, I have an Overland. For some unknown reason this was NOT available to order in the USA, at least corporate lease. You were forced to delete the ELSD before you ordered and the Off-Road package was never available here on the Overland. It was an option but it always said "Late Availability." I do not live in Canada as you apparently do. I was going to do a screen grab showing the forced ELSD deletion on the Overland however 2023 ordering is now closed, only 2024 open and only Wrangler available so far. 2024 code guides are out for the GC and there is no 2-wheel drive Overland or Summit, 4-wheel only and the off-road package is gone and only the Summit has ELSD as standard. So I guess if I wanted it, it's Summit or nothing for 2024.
I'm assuming that is true. I haven't been able to cause enough slippage for it to lock perhaps.Have you been in a slippery situation? Wouldn't the LSD only kick in when it senses differences in wheel spin? It's a LSD rather than a locker.

Imported from Detroit!Is this another Canadian Jeep?
Yes, they are all made at Jefferson North in Detroit, I get that. I spent time long ago at the old original Jefferson plant which is long gone, never visited Jeff North.Imported from Detroit!
Yes as I said a Summit. You can get ELSD in the USA if you order a Summit and only a Summit.'24 SRL just arrived w/eLSD
There was no ICE Trailhawk last year (2023) either. No factory skid plates for ICE WLs at all. Last year and this there still is a 4XE Trailhawk but last year you could order the off-road package for the 4XE Overland but it is gone this year. So the 4XE Trailhawk seems to be the only trail-rated 2-row GC there is. Oh well....It looks like the ICE Trailhawk is no longer available, (at least on the US jeep.com site), so there's no eLSD available with an ICE until the Summit models. Odd that the Overland trim, the original off road version, can no longer get the off road option. Now for an ICE, the glitzy, higher cost appearance packages need to be added to get the better off road functionality.
That's a bummer. Don't want the glitz and larger wheels of the Summit, or the added cost. But the cost of the Overland has gone up so much that it's only $500 less than the Reserve when the comparable options are added. I wonder if there's any indication they'll revive the Overland off road option later, or if I have to dig into other brands.There was no ICE Trailhawk last year (2023) either.

I'd explore the 4xe more, but find the tubo lag those show off the line bothersome compared to the smooth acceleration of the ICEs.
