I believe 4.7 option in B&P for non squatch is an error. When i converted my order last Friday, the dealer said he couldn't configure. If i wanted the 2.7 / auto on BL and the 4.7 gears i had to upgrade to full sas.
Yup!

I think it's been proven that the 4.7 in the B&P is not happening. I ordered last week and was unable to do it. Only available with manual or Squatch. I think with the 10 speed and the 2.7, you will be trying to stop wheel spin more than not! ;)
This was my experience, 4.7 is standard with 2.3L manual, in B&P.

I went non sas with the optional wheels. While I expect a lot of people to love their 35” tires I’m willing to bet there will be many people who have buyers remorse.
Same build for me but Iconic Silver. Bet those black wheels gonna pop with that. First pic anywhere I’ve seen of Iconic Badlands is the one today of the four door at KOH.

Ditto for me too. My dealer can't find any 4.7 gear upgrade for Badlands non-squatched.
That’s disappointing, but I do see multiple drive options in the performance catalog.

Same, my salesman walked me through the dealership order “catalog” (not sure what the exact name is) to show me it wasn’t possible to get 4.7’s without the Squatch.

Free 4.7s is the biggest no brainer in BandP to me. Doing it later can be very expensive.
Totally agree here... For more than just the obvious reason—cost to buy and install- I never regeared my Jeep and slowly stepped up to 37s... now I need a new transmission... and if I keep the 37s I’ll still need to regear!

I have yet to run into a person complains about getting too much gear in an off-roader and the list of people who complain about not enough gear is from here to the moon.
