Never seen a rubicon that was not trail rated. I believe all 2019s are push button and a new trans. My push button start the fob has a key that can be used to start. What color did you get Tom?

I don't know if the push button start was an option or not, I don't believe it was.

too bad. i like having an actual key.

I didn't like it much to start, but it is really functional, just carry the module, and push the button.

You can still lock the jeep just like always, ,module has three buttons, lock, unlock, and find me alarm.
Plus a door key when / if the battery is dead.

ok but what’s Plan B when the fob fails?

Some of us need to come into the year 2019. Keyless ignition is here to stay. THe push button is just an ignition switch that does not require a key. The fob must sync electrically with the car to allow the car to start. No different than pressing a remote button to unlock the doors.
Thieves have been breaking ignition switches with screwdrivers for years. The keyless is using electronics to secure the car vs. a mechanical lock. The electronics are now harder to defeat vs. the screwdriver.
Keep up with the advancements or you will be left behind.
3 in a tree was a great way to manually shift a car once upon a time, Cars continue to advance and improve.
