    Power seats? And possibly a video of the power sliding rear window would be awesome!

    Still no confirmation on gearing. D'oh! It might be another case of the unicorn DCLB + manual that someone posted the other day. Turned out to be a bust.

    Maybe but that source book is a pretty big product to have flubbed so badly.

    I would not buy a 2017 MT if it had 3.9 diff gear. That would be way to high to off road effectively with a MT.

    I just got back form Colorado running Black Bear Pass and the 4.30 gears with low were amazing. Could be a little lower, but most people will not be doing that kind of off roading I wager so lower gears would not make a lot of sense.

    True that, but the way they flubbed the auto transmission was pretty big too. =)

    It appears it's a 4.30, however there's some gaps in the diff spread sheet since it's not current.

    So they went from a 3.90 in all autos to the 4.30 which dosent have the whine? If so that's some bullshit, I will definitely be bringing it in under warranty until they replace.
