Trims: trickery, sneakery, shenaniganery and open questions
So, what's the difference between trims? Things get interesting once you dig deep enough. Below is a pretty straight copypaste from the build tool (much easier to put together than it may look like), and a few observations, which I'd love someone to confirm or disprove if they know or they care.
Disclaimer: I added only options I care about and/or those that were provided as standard in the X build, YMMV. I ignored the V8 configuration after glancing at it, and some "and up" may not be true.
Am I missing anything? And is there anything substantial in X trim that is not obvious from the build tool?
Now, some pictures. Legend:

- The most hilarious? You can get "Black Exposed Rear Recovery Eyes" in SE for $250. In X-Dynamic SE, they come standard. In X, you can get them AGAIN for $250... What? Oh, if you read the fine print, it turns out that they come ORANGE in X trim, and you're paying $250 to make them black again. Did I get that right?
- You can only get "Electrically Adjustable Steering Column" (connected with seat memory) in X-Dynamic SE and up.
- You can only get "11.4" Touchscreen" in X and up.
- You can only get "Front Undershield" in X and up, unless you buy it separately.
- "Overhead Storage for Sunglasses" is standard in X-Dynamic SE and up, but you can't get it in SE.
- You can only get "ClearSight Interior Rear View Mirror" in X and up.
Am I missing anything? And is there anything substantial in X trim that is not obvious from the build tool?
Now, some pictures. Legend:
- Bright green: those I care about
- Pale green: standard feature
- Pale red: optional feature, with the price if it is individual or the pack name
- Medium red: a pack, its individual items are spread around
- Dark red: not available for this trim
- Gray: irrelevant
- Blue: (arguably) better than in lower trims

Don't overthink it or anything...Very simply..Do you want the "blacked-out" look or not? For us (wifes DD), it was a dealbreaker...No blackout trim, no black wheels, and definitely no black interior...Been there, done that.....
Loaded up an SE nicely with only what we wanted and came out just shy of $80k.

Though, all the interior in all our vehicles was traditionally black. Sometimes, it looks exquisitely nice - I'm sure @NoGaBiker will chip in and show his Moab expedition photos to prove the point (for the record, we were finding the fine Moab dust in our Jeep years after the trip, in most unexpected places).
