There's nothing to disagree about. I like technology and you might be surprised of some of the things I have or do. My security cameras alert me based on AI recognition of a person and I run my own home server (self built). I want to upgrade my desktop from a 12 core to a 16 core for those 6 times a year when I edit vacation videos. But my Samsung Note 9 phone is from 2018. I have only specific uses for technology and I have not convinced myself that certain things are worth the money because I cannot take advantage of them all the time. In some ways I am very much a simpleton.

As an aside, whatever it is, it will not be called that.
. "WK2" is actually a made-up name because Jeep, in their infinite wisdom actually forgot to change the manufacturing code when they switched from making WK to what came next in 2010. So the Internet invented "WK2" to differentiate the 2005-2010 platform from the 2011-2022 platform. 2022 is interesting because there was parallel production (time wise) of both early WL-74 and "WK2" (Laredo and Limited only) for a short period of time. Whatever comes after WL will likely be WM as has been mentioned and that's most likely at least five years out if you look at the most typical life of a given generation.
If they can come up with WL and WL-L the sky's the limit for confusing designations.As an aside, whatever it is, it will not be called that.
Of course, it's technically WL-74 and WL-75.If they can come up with WL and WL-L the sky's the limit for confusing designations.
The JGC-L is the latter.
I know, but it's not common knowledge.Of course, it's technically WL-74 and WL-75.
Well, apparently they will be called the WL74-2 (2 row) and WL75-2 (3 row), if this post from another Jeep forum is 'real', and it does appear to be the same as other internal Stellantis document formatting.As an aside, whatever it is, it will not be called that.
That table you show appears to be for the future...look at the start of program (SOP) dates.
Perhaps the "two" is for a refresh? No way to know that at this point. WL74-2 and WL75-2 could be placeholders for a future official designation...likely WM if they stick to the sequence history...that they just don't want to put in print now.For the moment, WL74 (2 row) and WL75 (3 row) are unique already in their current form.
Whether they change the designation, the intent of the document seems to clearly designate the start of the refresh. Given the CEO's public expectation that the battery tech they need to put trucks/SUVs in the 'electric only' lineup, to fully replace ICE, it would all make sense with regard to that protracted timeline. My guess is they hope the EV-only vehicles will come out a year or two earlier and they will continue to offer the WL along side it at first, too - like they did with the WK2 and the WL74.That table you show appears to be for the future...look at the start of program (SOP) dates.

2027 could be the start of a hybrid or PHEV Hurricane offering for the three row, as a transition/test-the-waters move to straight EVs in 2033. It's a long way off, though, and based on how long the Hurricane has been in development (15 years IIRC, due to the move to an I6 instead of a V6), so I kind of feel like my guess is as good as theirs.
