Default WK2: Aus and US difference

Hi All

So about a fortnight ago I was fortunate enough to recieve a WK2 Overland with rear entertainment unit as my first car (been rolling around in my bro's Corolla for a while now).

I notcied there were some options missing from my Aus WK2 and the US models.

Just wanted to know if any of you experts out there know the full list of differences.

So far things we're missing out on that I noticed are:
* No Sirius stuff (obviously)
* Garage link
* No power plug under the video and sound inputs in the backrow (if rear entertainment options is installed)

Thanks

There are heaps of differences. We only have 3 models, the USA has 5.
The main differences are:
No LED's on the mirrors, we have the indicators on the guards
We get HID's only
different front lights that do not have the orange clearance lights
No Sat TV or Radio or Wifi
We get front parking sensors
You get all the options on the Oz Overland. Only options are Metalic paint, Rear DVD (but you lose 1/2 the sunroof) and the trail pack (18" and bash plates).
Brown wood in the Overland even though the brochure shows it should be grey.
We get the 731 RHP audio system with Nav and uconnect
We only have the Hemi and CRD as motor choices in the Overland, No CRD in the USA
Kumho tyres on the 20" wheels
Rear foglight
Different rear bar that does not have the tow hitch built in
No saddle trim option (thanks but no thanks)

You are lucky to have one as they are very rare and VERY desirable. Enjoy the new ride you lucky bastard

Are you sure about this one? the limited we test drove had the moulded rear bar with tow hitch and that is what I was expecting ours to come with?? I really hope we get the moulded version.

I only looked at the overland and it was the dealer who said it was different.
I wanted to just get the Mopar towbar, but was told it is different.
Once I get ti I will have a close look
