Right Hand Drive
Any Mail Carriers on here using the JK model on their Mail Route?
How do you like it? Thinking of trading for a newer model.

I do not think the USPS has bought any JK's.....
I would really be curious to find out which was the last body style Jeep they bought....

the right hand drives are only offered in automatic.......I doubt the Postal Service will be buying any but the rural mail carriers who use their own vehicle might like them! I know of some RHD Cherokees out in farm country!

Interesting info tidbit concerning RHD Jeeps - I was looking through my extended warranty and it notes that the extended warranty is not available for RHD vehicles. I guess they just assume that they are in commercial (postal) use or for the export market. So, if you want an extended warranty, don't get the RHD version (:

My local dealer tried to use the unlimited powertrain warranty as a selling point. I told him he better look closer at the warranty on RHD models. 3/36
