Locking gas door

[BruiserFL]

I realized tonite that my gas door does not lock when I lock up my GC. And as there is no gas cap you can’t add a locking cap. Any ideas? Anybody else’s gas door lock?

My 2021 Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve does NOT have a fuel filler door release button nor does it lock at any time.
Add that, with a "Brake Hold" feature to a list of improvements I'd like to see.

Fuel door needs to be released from inside the car.

I don't know why you answer if you can't bother to offer a full sentence. What appears to be the complete answer to the locking fuel door question for 2022 and later models is that:
It is not offered on the ICE versions.
It is provided, apparently as required due to the pressurization needed for the PHEV engine, in the 4xe.
Several interior views of the left side of the dash of a 4xe have shown that, and the useful link to the 4xe manual supplement that you provided gives even more detail.

In this video he does a walk around of a car show Trailhawk 4xe Grand and it shows the fuel button: at 4:45 It is just in an area that is normally blank on none 4xe Grands. He doesn't call it out, but is the fuel icon shown in this review the possible fuel door release? The specs have been so...

There's no relevance to what people have seen on pre 2022 models, as the platform is entirely different.

4xe has a locking fuel door.

Jeep promises delivery of this overweight edition sometime in the future. 🤣

i think the 4xe's have a locking fuel door. At least the images of the hybrid mode buttons near the light switches show a fuel door open button.
I'd assume it is a similar pressurized system to the wrangler 4xe's.

Great idea put the locking door on the model that doesn’t require the gas

It seems to be more for the protection of the pressure needed for that specific fuel system that to prevent access to the tank.

The 4xe is a hybrid vehicle so it does have a gas tank. The code guide for the 2022 WXLP74 model says a 19 Gal tank.

Is Brake Hold an option? I have it on my 2021 Grand Cherokee L Summit (Not Reserve)

I don't think any model got the brake hold feature in the L version. What is brake hold to you? Usually it's that button you can push next to the center console while the car is in drive.

Yes, On my 2021 Summit, I have a button in the bottom left corner of my shifter area that says "HOLD" which enables my break hold feature. It has memory to remember the last setting, but resets to off during remote start (BAD BAD BAD).
When enabled, the vehicle will hold the brakes on while idling at a traffic light for example after coming to a full stop. While in brake hold, the word "HOLD" appears in the dash cluster in green letters. A press of the accelerator releases the hold. It seems to hold solidly in both steep uphill and downhill postures as well, but it takes more accelerator to break free.
The button can be seen in this image:
