I'm not sure where the price is currently on the Roxor, but when it first came out it started at $15k. Options could push it up to around $30k. Mahindra's parts catalog originally included a full rolling chassis for the Roxor, iirc for like $9k, but last I knew it'd been removed around the time...

Before it was officially unveiled, the talk was that it wasn't just a 2.0 with 2 more cylinders. It was supposedly going to have tighter cylinder spacing and no metallic cylinder liners. All the changes were alleged to keep the engine no more than a few inches longer than the Tigershark 4...

Iirc the current model, that no longer looks like a CJ, has an automatic as an option and I think they changed the gearing to be better at road going speeds. When they first came out, one of the auto sites (think it was Tracy's old rag) did a comparison to CJs. Apparently it's kind of a mix of...

There has always been speculation on the Roxor forums that Mahindra fully intended/expected people to try to get them street legal. Apparently a lot of the necessary wiring, etc for the street upgrades were baked into the vehicle, so that is pretty easy and/or plug n play for much of it.

Not from the factory. People have added stuff like turn signals (plug n play), mirrors and wipers, etc that is necessary for the road. Depends on the state. Some get motorcycle plates through Dirt Legal (South Dakota especially, iirc), or they're limited to low speed use. Michigan has a process...

The CAFE requirements are based upon the footprint of the vehicle. The larger the footprint, the lower the threshold it must meet.

Idk, I think I'd have taken the next exit and stopped for coffee. Jeep was well out of sight by the time the cruiser pulled onto the road and got up to speed.

J12 for me, please.

Are they? Yeah, most studies say that EVs have less cradle to grave emissions. Putting aside that these mostly deal with emissions and not total environmental impact, the problem is that those studies mostly deal with first order factors directly related to the production and fueling/charging...

Chevy is saving "Tracker" for their Jeep/Bronco; fighter.

It doesn't. But it does make it easier to meet CAFE targets. CAFE targets are no longer simply based on the class of vehicle (passenger, light truck, etc). It's based on a formula where the footprint (track width x wheelbase) of the vehicle matters. The larger the footprint, the lower the target

Not sure if it's been posted... https://www.thedrive.com/news/jeep-trademarks-jeep-xtreme-performance-for-use-on-vehicles-and-parts Putting aside that the article mistakenly says that Xtreme Recon adds the HEMI, I wonder if this the branding Jeep will use to replace SRT and/or Trackhawk?

It's never been economical. Admittedly I'm not up on recent research, but they've been working on algae bio diesel for some time, but extraction was as concern. Last I knew the focus was on trying to find a way to extract without having to kill the algae. There's also research on bio gasoline...

It's nominally cheaper, but with the energy density it probably comes out more expensive. Or at least it was before the current run up in gas. Right now residential propane is around $4.12-15 in my area, while 87 octane is running $4.75-80.

Unlikely. https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/natural_gas_locations.html#/find/nearest?fuel=CNG There are 3 stations in NH where I live, and even just 9 in a state like Mass. There are some cities where it looks like it could work, although you probably wouldn't want to road trip. Cng is hit or...
