How do you get to charge the battery for only $1? Your electricity is less than $.07 a kWh?
The battery is still considered "dead weight" because the 2.0L straight gas Wranglers have better mpg than the PHEV in hybrid mode and only half a second less 0-60 times despite 100 less hp. You may not...
Way back when I bought my first Jeep, I found that used wasn't much cheaper than new. And a used Jeep can have a pretty rough life. To me the only thing that justifies the crazy Jeep price premium is the resell value. Like you I'm not excited about the Sahara look so I always steer toward...
It also says in the manual that 91 is most noticeable in hot weather or towing, otherwise you're just wasting money for nothing. In a 4xe the acceleration is mostly coming from the electric drive.
As for the "afford it" comment, I can afford to start a fire using $20 bills as kindling but...
It's not a federal requirement. I have a 2021 car that "runs fine" on 91 but prefers 93. 87 is prohibited and voids your warranty.
I think there's a misconception that all turbos need premium, but that's outdated,
Doing some quick math, at 12k miles per year, and a $.50 price difference between premium and regular, premium with a 2 mpg difference cost an additional $150 a year.
If anything it's the other way around. OEM is a higher volume customer than the guy ordering from a catalog. They can get the same components at a huge discount.
There's merits (and extra cost) to OEM installed parts (such as ensuring they meet crash ratings, mpg's, reliability, warranty, etc) however the Jeep Wrangler is one of the most overpriced vehicles on the market with one of the highest destination charges so I can easily see why the winch is $2k.
The bump things on the side of the winch are the crush cans that enable the factory airbags to work right if my previous research is correct.
I agree I like the black top and fenders better, but after seeing aftermarket bumpers age terribly, and seeing how well the Mopar stuff holds up, I'm ok...
I'm in the same boat. I love the steel bumper group like I have on my current Jeep, but $3500 is steep and I'll never use the winch.
I'm not a fan of painted top and fenders but the way Rubicon X is priced it doesn't make sense to get a standard Rubicon.
Does anyone know why a V6 with...
There's still 2022 inventory on dealer lots months into 2023?
Even in normal times it was hard for me to find a Jeep on a lot somewhere too late in the model year much less after the new year started.
I don't see that anywhere. It looks like the regular Rubicon is business as usual with the exception of the 12" screen and standard ACC, but otherwise Rubicon X is the "check all the boxes" package.
There seems to be an EV penalty on insurance. Jeep is already one of the more expensive to insure gas vehicles, but insurance quotes I've gotten for EV cars blew away any perceived fuel savings or "maintenance savings".
Then there is depreciation which is a whole other story.
Really? Your concern was Gorilla glass, a tow receiver, and adaptive cruise (which if broken acts like your Jeep does from the factory).
Really dodged a bullet there.
