Mopar missing part numbers that are missing from 21 Overland (air suspension/activ damping delete credit) -$750

[ReaXion]

Hi all. I'm one of the many NEW to JEEP lucky owners whose vehicle fell into the chip shortages boat and I have a question (found the forums while searching for this exact thing). Does anyone truly know all of the missing parts that are missing from the air suspension/activ damping delete credit by chance? So that perhaps one day they can be ordered and added to the vehicle later? Kinda pissed considering I bought this thing to tow a boat and that feature is one of the items that bumps up the max tow capacity on the v6. No, I don't want a smaller boat before you suggest it.

I managed to find a dealer with the parts for the tow receiver and wiring harness. Paying way more then the $200 they give you on the sticker.... grrrr

To anyone that cares the missing tow parts are (trailer wiring - 82216041AB & hitch receiver - 82216037AB)

But I'm a bit dumbfounded by what is required to replace the parts needed to put the air/susp/activ damping back in the vehicle. :| I noticed the interior switch and buttons are already missing from the front console. (to the right of the gear select knob).

for reference my window sticker: https://www.jeep.com/hostd/windowsticker/getWindowStickerPdf.do?vin=1C4rjkdg1m8188249

I know there are a lot of thread on this subject. But I wanted to keep this discussion to pin point all of the missing parts. Thanks in advance for looking and for any insight you might provide.

It's going to be impossible to add the air suspension. You are better off buying a different vehicle with it already.

I don't think the air suspension plays any role in the towing capacity. That's more about the larger alternator, transmission cooler. There is a self leveling rear suspension feature that comes on all trim levels with the tow package, maybe that's what you're thinking about? I'm not sure if that feature was ever cut due to parts shortages.

Don't forget all the electronics and software changes, as well as interior switches and wiring.

They really screwed people with those deletes. The "credit" is a joke in my opinion since you end up paying substantially more for what is essentially a lower trim level, with a free plastic bag to remind you of what you aren't getting.

sorry man, even if it was as simple as adding the parts you are looking at $4 or $5k at least. even if you swapped everything you wouldn't be able to get it working.

Not only that, I think there are a number of restriction in place if you want to order a 2022 model. I was looking for an Overland back in October and everything on the lots was missing the air suspension. When I looked into a factory order for a 2022, not only was the price quite a bit higher, the dealer told me that at that time I couldn't order the McIntosh sound system on a 2022 order unless I went for the Summit trim. I was finally able to find a vehicle in transit which was built in May and held at the factory for the start stop battery and put a deposit on it. It ended up getting delivered a couple of weeks ago and as a bonus it carried the original lower MSRP and destination charge.

The towing package you may be able to add-on later at a much higher cost than the $200. The air suspension is next to impossible and even if it was possible, it'll be cheaper to just sell your Jeep and buy one with it included from the factory.
