I like the straps that replaced the crappy wrangler netting on the doors. Would be nice if they made a mod to change that on the wrangler.

I've had a F-150 Lightning for almost 4 months. It's got a 123 kWh pack and 300 mile advertised range. Amazing truck, but I've learned some things about these EV 4x4s. First of all when the weather gets cold you can cut that range by 40%. Second it takes 8 hours to charge one all the way up on a level 2 charger, which is all you're going to have out in the desert or wilderness if you take a 10kWh 50 amp generator along with you.

So, this Jeep will be no good for extended off-road trips. And on the road you're looking at 150-200 miles of range tops in the winter. For $65k START price? Are they kidding??

It is a brand new Stellantis EV. It's going to be a lemon.

Edit: 400V and "up to 250 miles of range" with no mention of NACS charging.... Yikes.

It's funny when people expect a vehicle cost 40k in 2025.
Especially when building in America is being pushed...labor, parts and oh yes profit has to be taken into consideration.
There's a lot of money out there...have you seen the boat yards in your area?

The way the door hinges stick out when the doors are off just brings back all the bad memories of hitting my shin on a hitch, but now it will be elbows and testicles
