Picked up my GWS3 in River Rock up a few hours ago. Attaching a few photos, the river rock is a mysterious color that's for sure! In blue skies or strong sun it looks like a muddy blue with a touch of gray, but in clouds or indoor lighting it's much more gray. I really like it, but between pictures and in real life there's a bit of difference that isn't captured well. You'll have to go see for yourself!
River Rock goes really well with my other car, a wrangler that is Sting-Gray
Very happy with my dealership they did a great job: Jeep Liberty in Rapid City SD, ask for Ty he's a great saleman!
Initial thoughts: No major issues, everything works with one small exception: the temperature up physical button for driver and passenger both cause the temp to go colder instead of hotter, will have them look at it when it's in the shop in 2 weeks getting new tires put on (I ordered Perrelis for better rain/snow performance). Took it out for a 40 mile tour on the highway. Super quiet, great ride. The steering assist + adaptive cruise control is a really great combination, can already tell this car will be great for road trips. Comfort is amazing, I still have to play with a ton of settings to figure everything out. Got my wifi hotspot setup, tested out all the entertainment screens front and back. Seat controls worked, rear gate foot wave worked. Night vision in the dash is super cool. Uconnect is pretty responsive, and my android connected and worked with no problems. Android auto worked over bluetooth, and wired without issue.
If you are tall like me the heads up display might be missing, but fear not it's just projecting too low. I lowered my seat a bit and it popped into view. I think the HUD can be angled up more, but I haven't found the setting yet, will tackle the giant owners manual and see what it says when I get a chance. I need to look up how to use the suspension while towing too so I'm in for quite a bit of reading.
I used the assist button while setting up the wifi and got through to a human immediately, that was nice! Unfortunately her script had me reboot the radio which didn't fix my problem, I figured out on my own that it was an issue on AT&T's end so ASSIST couldn't have helped me anyway. if you are like me and already have a myvehicle (or connected car, why does AT&T have 4 names for everything?) account associate with an existing AT&T wireless account you will need to disregard the onscrean wifi hotspot setup instructions and instead go to:
https://myvehicle.att.com/ from a browser, login to your account, and from the dashboard add your vehicle using the VIN. Then you have to call customer service "Connected Car" at 866-595-1222 to link the trial account with an AT&T wireless account, even if you already have another car attached to it like I did. Way to make it easy AT&T
Me playing around with the settings, here's the interior. Looks really good in person, this is the Tupelo Black with wood grain accents. Warping is from taking a panorama photo.

Was pleasantly surprised about the lighting effects projected onto the ground. Can only attach 5 pics, have another one with it parked in my garage with fluorescent lighting if anyone wants to see that let me know.

I'm very happy with the car, can't wait to take it on road trips (what I bought it for). Will post more when I use it to tow my RV, but have to wait to hit 500 miles on the engine first.
