I just joined the forum today. Reading through some of the posts, I gather that the Renegade model designation is "BU", however, I have not found that specifically mentioned anywhere. Am I correct, or does "BU" have some other meaning? Thanks.

Here is an article on Allpar.com. At one time the Renegade was codenamed BU.

Its been called the BU since it was announced

Is the codename usually the same as the model designation?

More then likely. Everything I have found or read points to BU being the model designation.
