Traded my Level 0 RHO for Grand Cherokee Summit...

I don't know, I have that shit turned off. I'm not that old I can't control my own truck.
I turned that garbage off too...you're too close to the line, well no shit, this truck is 10ft wide Susan. 🤦🏻‍♂️
 
Is it possible to swap a level 1 back seat into a level 0 , swap brackets for reclining. The wiring may be there as well somewhere.
 
Does the 26 GW have a HO hurricane or a SO hurricane
I believe that for 2026 the GW comes with the Standard output. Previous years the Grand came with the HO and the base Wagoneer had the SO, but they are trying to make it more affordable so they all come with the SO now.

On another note, I would second the night vision...I wish it were an option on the RHO. I drive a deer infested highway at 3:30 in the morning 5 days a week and was seriously considering the Grand Cherokee or Grand Wagoneer because of Night Vision, but neither was as much fun to drive as the RHO. My fix will be to install the M&R Lightbar so I can see the buggers!
 
Only thing I am missing on level 0 is the birds eye view camera for help maneuvering this big beast in tight spaces parking.
 
I was and still am a bit pissed about the depreciation of the $10k L1 options. I reviewed that pretty thoroughly related to used TRX values and saw that $10k depreciates to about $1k in total resale value between L0 and L1.

That said, with all of the cost-ups RHO has seen in less than a year, my value has done very well relative to my original purchase price of $71k. For all of the benefits of use with L1, I’d still do it again. There are definitely features I’d prefer not to have (passenger screen!), but I’m overall satisfied with most of the items on the list.

If I were you, I’d get your L1 RHO on order stat… and make sure it’s white this time!

... For the weekend! Just for the weekend! Sorry for the click bait, but I thought it was funny. :ROFLMAO:

In all seriousness, I’m sharing this for a reason.


I recently traded vehicles with a coworker so I could take a weekend trip to Chicago. I daily-drive my RHO and genuinely love it—few issues, zero regrets, and I plan to keep it another few years or 100k miles, whichever comes first.


That said, the Grand Cherokee Summit I borrowed was fully loaded, and it opened my eyes.


The massaging seats were excellent over the 5-hour drive each way, but the real differentiators were the night vision camera and Active Drive Assist paired with adaptive cruise. Absolute game changers for long-distance driving. I arrived fresh, not fatigued, and the system performed flawlessly. Lane centering was precise, predictable, and never once made me nervous.


I know many of you already have Level 1 and are used to this, but for anyone on the fence or still ordering—think twice before joining us Level 0 peasants.


I got a great deal on my RHO, so no complaints, but spending real time with features I don’t have definitely triggered some FOMO:


  1. Memory seats – My coworker adjusted them and I still can’t get them back just right. Level 1 has it.
  2. Ventilated & massaging seats – Outstanding over 10–12 hours of driving. Level 1 has it.
  3. Active Drive Assist – The biggest one for me. I drive a lot, and this materially reduces fatigue. Level 1 has it available.

With hindsight, I wish I had spent the extra ~$10k upfront. I didn’t realize how much I’d miss these features until I lived with them.


My RHO is still an incredible machine, and I love driving it every day (except the color). I missed it on the trip—but it probably wouldn’t have fit in the hotel garage, and I wasn’t about to valet it all weekend.


Lesson learned: my next vehicle will have these features. No more cutting corners. Saving a few bucks can cost you long-term satisfaction.


Level 0 is still a huge bang for the buck in this segment compared to the competition.


Consider this your friendly warning. My thoughts!!! Chao!!!
I have the Tungsten 1500 with the Hurricane. It is the most amazing truck I have ever owned out 2 fords and 5 rams over the years. It has the massaging seats,totally drives itself out on the open freeway. Seats are very comforatble and the sound system by Klipsch is truly impressive over the Harmon. The 360 Cam viwes dispalyed while in moton is truly a great benefit to see all the way around the vehicle.Its a year old this month with 13000 miles and still finding things it does I never knew it had.The power of the Hurricane is very stout,quiet and smooth! All who has ridden and drove the truck cannot believe its a truck with 6 clyinder power.The drive assist will take on several different modes and levels as to how you prefer the Truck to drive.I was told the the Wagoneers are the same as this truck. The difference over a Laramie to the Tungsten is unreal.

Interesting that everyone finds value in different features of L1. Makes it more attractive to a wider range of potential buyers on the used market, even if the $$$ isn’t even 50% returned. It’ll likely sell much faster.

Two neighbors have their houses for sale in our neighborhood. The one with lots of “extras” sold in a day. The more basic home, even though priced substantially less, has been sitting for weeks.

It’s all about satisfying those special “wants”.

Surround camera & speed sign recognition are two features I wouldn’t ever want to live without for how I’ve used my RHO.
True. And dollars to (Wrinkled) Donuts 😂, the L1 is much more appealing to a wider market of buyers. Oh, you just said that!
