Press the max regen button twice after starting the Jeep with the power box active. It starts in electric mode, pressing max regen once puts it into hybrid, twice fires up the engine and puts it in generator mode. Also charges the battery in this mode.
I used mine to power starlink and other equipment on a 4 day trip to the PA mountains. It works really well except that it will shut itself off if there is not enough load, it needs an 'anyways on' mode as if there is a light load on it it'll shut itself off. It needed 200 Watts of draw or so...
They can use all the space the transmission takes up for the generator portion as it won't be needed. Basically they need a gas engine that is efficient at a constant rpm, the 2.0t will be a bit more efficient operating at eg 3000rpm with peak volumetric efficiency as it re-uses some of the...
My bet is using the new ZF 8 speed phev trans that has integrated control electronics, either allowing moving the battery to where the control electronics are now or possibly increasing total battery size by keeping the one under the seat and adding one underneath in place on the control...
Sigh...In the absence of individual accountability, we all are held accountable and suffer the consequences. That's what is happening here. Anger at BLM is misplaced, it's those that do not respect the land and destroy it. Most of which have the attitude that "it's public land and I should be...

Key stats are Rubicon 2.0t, 9950gcwr, Rubicon v6 10300gcwr, 4xe...
I can confirm there's zero difference in bumper or skid plate mounting for the '24 - I pulled the winch off of my '20 gladiator with factory steel bumper and put it on my '24 4xe with steel bumper and the only difference I could find was that the connector for the fog lights in the bumper was...
It kind of depends on how you outfit it - due to the Rubicon X package and standard adaptive cruise in '24, the savings from a 2023 vs. 2024 for what I wanted (which was basically a loaded Rubicon) was hardly anything, and it was worth getting the power box, updated regen and 12.3 nav. The only...
I mean, sure? But I already feel the 392 is kind of cartoonish and pointless if I'm honest. Maybe if either of them could tow worth a crap the extra power would be worthwhile but both are limited to a paltry 3500lbs, mostly due to cooling issues, which tuning would only make worse....
So...
Bringing this back up as morryde has a JL mounting kit where my previous version was custom (hacked) by me to fit. I'll be attempting to install in my '24 4xE this weekend, will have to see if the battery interferes at all - glad I never sold the trail kitchen as I'll get it to fit one way or...
I already have a 220v plug in my garage so the choice was easy - I use it for other things like my air compressor, welder, to power two 110 circuits for outside stuff (like golf cart charger and tools), and with an adapter to power the house with my generator.
The outlet will always be more...
Batteries can be rebuilt, they open the pack, test all the cells and replace any bad or deteriorated cells. My brother in law had it done on his Prius at 200k miles, it was around $600. He went another 40k miles before selling the car. So yeah, all this fud about having to buy a brand new...
I'd take the discount on the '23. Context: I traded a loaded gladiator rubicon in for a '24 4xe rubicon X and only did it for the updated hybrid (and to get yellow, which wasn't available back when I got the gladiator), if the gladiator had a 4xe model I might have waited and gone that route...
It lets the Jeep act as a 3.6kw generator - 30A of 120v power. It can run in 3 modes, battery mode (uses just the battery), generator mode (uses just the gas engine), and hybrid mode (maximizes how long you get power using both battery and gas engine). The examples given were for example...
Traded in my '20 Gladiator Rubicon for this - '24 High Velocity Rubicon X 4xe. Only other option is the slush mats (though X seems to get pretty much everything). Not a fan of the body colored hard top but it looks like you can't get the leather with black top any more, so if anyone wants to...
