Just got back from my annual beach trip in Corolla, NC. For those who don’t know just north from Corolla to the VA border is 11 miles x 3 miles of beach, roads, developments, woods all in the sand, which allows for a lot of fun 4 wheeling in sand, mud (lots of big, deep puddles), backwood trails...
One of the pleasant surprises with my 4xe is how well the electric hybrid part of the car works when the battery is 'drained' (< 1%). Even though you still can't use the battery for normal driving, it is still there for two very important situations:
1) It uses that reserve battery power for...
Help, I cannot put the top back on my car! I got a lift for my garage that works great for pulling the top off the back of my car. However my garage is low so the top does not go higher than the car, which is fine but when I go to backup the car to put the top back on the back two doors HAVE to...
Bought a dead pedal to rest my left foot on, but it seems the bolt that all the dead pedals install on does not exist on a 4xe! Anyone know of one that is made for the 4xe?
(Disclaimer: I had a BMW i3 that only had heavy regenerative braking, and now have a Chevy Bolt, which not only has a good max regeneration mode, but also has a paddle behind the steering wheel that when pulled gives you extra heavy regenerative braking which is great for when you're coming to a...
Just like to say I installed (super easy) and love these new hood latches. They lock and keep the hood really tight, and are relatively inexpensive (compared to other I have seen) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TKJ5P8R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Now they are more of...
Wondering if everyone else is having this problem, or is there a setting I have yet to find, or is there something wrong with my car?
The Hybrid supplement manual states: NOTE: The Max Regeneration feature will remain on once selected, even after the vehicle is restarted
But after I turn the...
This is a warning for anyone who is looking to install HotHead headliners (other headliners may be similar)
Got my brand-new 4xe yesterday. today I went to install my HotHead headliners that I had bought a while back. The instructions say to scuff the surfaces with sandpaper, and then clean...
All - Getting my 4xe soon, and will be putting a hoist in my garage to lift my hardtop off. But I have a question, if I buy a Lange Power Hoist-A-Top, and the power goes out in my house, will plugging the hoist into the Jeep give it enough power to raise or lower the top? Or is there some way of...
Opinions of if the Mopar Slush Floor Mats will fit in the 4xe? The front should be fine, but the back slide under the seat to fit, but doesn't the battery compartment block it from sliding under? I suppose you could cut the back part off and it will fit? Opinions?
All,
Awaiting my 4xe Wrangler (soon...). Have a Cherokee, and a Liberty before that, but this will be the first time I can go topless! So question, my area (Wash DC) is prone to being nice one hour in the summer and then a massive storm blows threw with little warning. If I am driving with...
My Sahara 4xe will come with 20" wheels. No thanks. Found some nice Fuel Off-Road Anza 18x9 Matte Bronze w/Black Ring 18" wheels that I think will look great with my Snazzleberry Wrangler. One site pairs them with 275/70R18's another with 275/65R18's. So I believe the only difference is the...
Question for those who knows these things. I currently have a 2014 Cherokee Trailhawk edition, which has a locking differential. My off roading has included a couple beginner rock crawling tails, but mostly driving in the sand (14 miles of trails Corolla, NC each year for a beach trip) (oh, and...
I just ordered my 4xe, and I noticed that it has a 'Class II Receiver Hitch'. My Cherokee Trailhawk has a Class III 2" hitch. Is the class II hitch 2" or is it only 1 1/4"? The 3500 lb capacity is fine for my little Jon boat and bicycle carrier (that plugs into the hitch), but all my stuff is...
Ordered my 4xe today. Pretty fully loaded Sahara. Couple of things:
They cut $4000 of the MSRP, so I can't complain about that. My friend who just ordered a Toyota RAV4 Prime PHEV had to pay full MSRP (and he said many dealers are charging MORE so he had to shop around just to get MSRP). So...
All - I and putting a deposit down tomorrow for my Wrangler 4xe (it will be replacing my Cherokee Trailhawk), so I have been trolling these forums. I have noticed some confusion and misinformation about the tax credit. I have done it twice now, First for my BMW i3, and then a couple of years ago...
