Great news! My dealership confirmed yesterday that the build and price for the L will go live on the Jeep website on April 1st!

Its great to finally see the options not just assume what something looks like.
Hopefully anyone that has preordered really loves what they get.
I was between a fully loaded Overland and a std Summit (not the Reserve).
With the Build tool now live I can confirm I dont like the 20" Summit wheels at all. Its subjective but I think they missed the mark on this one.

I will preorder the Overland but my dealer is still not able to see the Two-tone exterior option so even if the Build tool has the option, is not yet available.

I was hoping I could not have the 2nd row console but in the Build and Price it appears to be standard with Summit with no option to remove and have captains. No middle console makes it easier for my twins to get in the back by themselves.

$69,205.00 including destination for my loaded Overland hemi with Off Road Group. I prefer body color roof so that saves about $1,000.00 I plan to wait for ordering to open up for 2022 model. The only thing I would want added is a Sunroof Delete option.

Wow $45,000 for the loaded "Laredo" doesn't look too bad. Add in aftermarket leather and that's quite a vehicle (or just opt up to Limited, but I'd like chocolate/espresso brown leather).

So, I have been dying for the configurator to open and I definitely hate to be the debbie downer here but the live configurator is not as exciting as one would hope... While having "something" is wonderful it is extremely flawed... For example, the McIntosh audio system isn't an available option, but if you pick the 19 speaker high-performance audio (Harman Kardon) the interior rendering displays the McIntosh speakers... The rear seats don't have the cooled option, which was not supposed to be limited to the reserve but was supposed to transverse to the regular summit as well... There are a ton of other flaws with option availability, renderings, and display too (In addition to the reserve not being available as noted above)... So as excited as I am that I get to play with it now, I would have rather that they waited until next month to work out the kinks and make it actually useful

There’s glitches since it just opened today.
-There’s no Harman Kardon on the GCL. Its a mistake on the description.
Alpine 9 speaker audio is the upgrade for Limited when upgrading the Uconnect and Std on Overland and Summit.
McIntosh 19 speaker audio is Packaged for Overland with the Uconnect upgrade; standalone Option for Summit and included in the Summit Reserve Package.
-Ventilated 2nd row was never available to Summit unless you picked the Reserve package.

Check the features by Trim from earlier post:

After looking at the exterior of my build on the Summary page, I changed my mind on the roof color; with the red exterior, the black roof looks better with the black mirror caps and black side steps. That raises the price to $69,900.

I still can't figure out how to build the Summit Reserve. The package doesn't seem to be there.

I think you might need to give it some time, I think they are still updating the site.From what I gather, I think the Summit Reserve L might be a limited edition, I don't really know

Hope they fix the Build tool soon, but more important that the system dealers use for ordering matches the Build Tool.
I have not yet ordered the Overland I like because the two tone exterior with black roof (available in the Build tool and per the feature availability) is NOT yet available for the dealer. Only the Summit can be ordered two tone.
I understand they need to reduce variability until they are up running at full capacity but certain restrictions don't make sense. The chassis on both Overland and Summit is identical by the time it gets painted.

WHY did they screw up the Overland wheel design? They got it right with WK2 and the WL Overland wheel is a step backwards - the spokes should radiate out in a slightly angled way, not just a straight line. This is what the it should look like, the WK2 wheel part 5XL061STAA (see attached). The photo is taken at an awkward angle, but it does it in fact angle out from the center, which makes it look nice.

I get that it's a very subtle thing, but Ralph needs to make sure his teams get stuff like this right.

At least the WL Summit wheels look ok...guys I have to say the wheels for WL are disappointing, other than Summit. They are a step backwards from WK2.
