So, what a HUGE disappointment that was. I told a FCA spokesperson "shame on you guys." He asked what i meant by that. I told him that I have been here 2x in 10 years & there was no Power Wagon either time.

It is your "PREMIERE" truck ----Epic Fail, IMHO. No new Jeep Rubicon---Epic Fail, IMHO. I then asked him if there was anyone here that was high on the food chain of FCA. He said yes, there was. He went to get him. I patiently waited. He came back, we shook hands & I explained that I am a 3rd Gen Power Wagon owner, & LOVE my truck. I also said I would like to get another one some day---as would many others---EXCEPT for all the electronic nannies they put on them. I told him it makes a super off-road truck, really crappy off road. I talked about the ABS/wheel speed sensor getting ripped off/broken = no more 4wd. He had no idea. Talked about traction control, I told him 4wd & the lockers
ARE the traction control ! I told him that Hill decent control is called a brake pedal & 1st gear. I told him to PLEASE tell them to STOP with all the electronic nannies. I told him if you HAVE to have them by Law, then just make them all disengage when you shift into 4Hi or 4Lo. I also said that, since you took the G-56 manual transmission away, then you should make the auto's able to be held in any gear-up to redline, without the trans shifting anyways-thinking it knows better. Also said they should have a 10-speed, with ratios much closer to the G-56---BUT with only 1 overdrive. I can'r remember his title, hell, I can't even remember his name. But it sure made me feel good to be able to talk to someone who was above "dealer level" anyways. They said they were going to pass my Phone # along to someone in the Truck division & I should be getting a call. We'll see about that.
I also shamed Ford---no Ranger, no Ranger Raptor. Same for Subaru, all they had were 50th Anniversary editions---all the same color, no new Ascent. Pretty lame auto show IMHO. & Yeah, I know.........
