Greetings Renegades!
I can't wait for these bad boys to start hitting showrooms this coming March. I currently own a heavily modified 2003 Wrangler that used to be a hobby vehicle, but now has become my daily driver. I'm getting sick of the constant repairs and bumpy ride and think I'm ready for something new. Especially since I don't do nearly as much 4wheeling as I used to.
I plan to use the Renegade as a daily driver in Colorado. Things that attracted me to this particular Jeep include AWD for better handling in the snow and Ice, promise of great gas mileage (30mpg+), and of course offroading capabilities. My goal for my next vehicle is to fit 4 skiers/snowboarders with equipment comfortably.
Anyone have experience fitting adults in the back seat? Leg room seems to be where concessions were made to shorten the length of the vehicle. Anyone know how much room is behind the driver when the seat is pushed all the way back?
Disappointment set in when I learned that the Trailhawk version was not going to be offered with a manual transmission. I really want the towing option as well as the removable MySky panels and I believe both of these features are available as part of the Sport and Latitude (6-speed manual) packages. I could not, however, determine if there was a way to increase clearance or add skid plates without giving up the manual transmission.
