Thanks Milous. Overall, as expected, minimal changes. There is an obvious trend to move the Latitude equipment level up - wonder how that will affect the Limited. Also, vented seats for the Trailhawk, but no bixenons?

I do have a few question on the Low Speed Collision support - what does this do and is this just a software add-on? If so, can those with the 2014 Technology package update it to include this feature?
 
#8 ·
Wow, is this true for us Canadians too, Milous? My 2014 TH that I ordered in January has made it to my province finally, but if the order banks open today I'll order a 2015 instead. Cooled seats was the one thing I was really disappointed that I couldn't have.
The 2014 I ordered sat in Dana Yard for nearly a month, so now it's an end of model year that the dealer still wants me to pay full price for. Sounds like a crappy deal to me.
What's another 6 months right? LOL
 
#20 ·
I'm assuming that as production starts July 21, it will be approximately 8 weeks before the first ones roll off the line...
So those ordering now, can expect to get into the driver's seat by mid August? Or would those that order not expect to see there's until after September 1st?
 
#24 ·
First ones will roll off the line July 21. They should start shipping shortly thereafter, and start to arrive to dealers in early to mid August. By then some of the rail yard/shipping backlogs should be more caught up, and hopefully QC times will be shorter with a lot of the issues already fixed on the '14 models.


Any news/details on the Sky Slider roof?
Nothing new, it is still not showing up on the launch list.


I just ordered my 2015 TH yesterday. If the Sale begins Sept 1st, should I then expect to see my Jeep at the dealer After Sept 1st?
The September 1st date is simply the official start of the new model year, and it's when Chrysler will issue press releases with specs and images. It has no bearing on vehicle build dates or shipping dates.

The way the system works is that order banks for most vehicles open in June - this is technically intended for dealers to order vehicles so that they will have inventory on hand for the September sales push/launch. That is why you do not see images and detailed specs now, in many cases the finalized specs and equipment packages are still being worked on. Having the ordering start in June also helps spread out the orders over the summer, instead of being swamped with orders if they waited longer to open the banks.

At the heart of ESS is a high-speed/high-durability starter that reduces crank time, culminating in quicker restarts. Its function is regulated by algorithms that act on a vehicle’s powertrain and chassis components.

As a result, acceleration is always aligned with driver inputs. Passive accelerator application is met with measured throttle response; hard inputs trigger aggressive starts. And there’s no waiting for either.

ESS works this way:

• Engine controls constantly monitor vehicle speed
• When the vehicle brakes to a stop, fuel flow is cut and engine turns off – events that save gas and reduce emissions
• Beefier batteries maintain other vehicle systems so in-cabin comfort is unaffected
• When the brake pedal is released, the engine automatically restarts and the nine-speed automatic transmission, the segment-exclusive nine-speed automatic transmission is engaged – all within 0.3 seconds

If a driver chooses to forgo the benefits of ESS, the feature can be deactivated with the push of a button, and then reactivated.
 
#42 ·
That's a good question. I'm interested in the answer too. But I'm also interested in knowing why you think ESS might interfere with towing 4 wheels down.

My GUESS is since the AD2 drivetrain is put in neutral, the transmission is shifted into Park, the engine is turned off, and the key fob is removed, everything to do with ESS is disabled.

Am I missing something?

Two things...

1) I wonder with start-stop, if the A/C stays on somehow? Seems if you were sitting at a very long stop-light that it might start the engine back up? In other words I wonder how you would keep a temp controlled cabin?

2) I noticed it says new "tip in fascia" for v6... I wonder if there are any minor fascia changes to the front of the Limited? I heard their might be another chrome piece or slightly different look in the lower front fascia. Any truth to that?

I can't see why it would differ from all the other standard start-stops that have been around for a few years now. Engine turns on when it needs to warm up, battery needs juice, or climate control (think heater in the winter) requires it to maintain cabin temp.

• 3.2L engine adds Engine Stop/Start technology (Standard; production launch ~August)
@Milous, for those of us that would like to order a 2015 soon and also want to include the Stop/Start technology, do you have any suggestion on when to order? For example, will you be posting notice when all orders going forward will include the Stop/Start technology?

Thanks!

I will keep a close eye on the ordering system and post here when I find out any information. Order banks are now closed and will re-open on July 9th. I will check at that time to see if the SS feature shows up in the system.
