Point taken, but I don't see it as "Europe only". I see it more as "Europe first". To me, it is clear that hybrid plug-in is where Stellantis is headed.
Our beloved gasoline engines are likely to go the way of the manual transmission. Will the two door model go with them? Maybe it's time to...
It accounts for a third of Wrangler sales in Europe, but doesn't allow for a hybrid power train. A sign of things to come in the rest of the world? Full report by Automotive News https://j.mp/3qB2rLj
Yes, yes, yes!
I use it daily. On-road, off-road, back streets and highways. It's fantastic.
The top has been through car-wash tunnels, high pressure washes, and vicious thunderstorms - and performed perfectly. It's still a Jeep!
But here's what you should also consider: The top limits the...
Summary: Getting Your Jeep from A to B (Without Driving)
U-Ship
I’ve been in touch with U-Ship, which some of us recommended (@Chocolate Thunder @Redbaron73) and one had serious delay with (@dgoodhue ). I have a couple of tips to share:
U-Ship is a “platform”, like eBay or Airbnb. They don’t...
I agree. But the same is true for civil aviation or ocean-going ships, yet passengers and shippers have some idea of when they'll take off and when they'll arrive. Imagine that your airline says: "The flight will happen sometime over the next five weeks. We'll give a you 24 hours in advance." :)
Update on U-Ship
I’ve been in touch with U-Ship, which some of us recommended (@Chocolate Thunder @Redbaron73) and one had serious delay with (@dgoodhue ). I have a couple of tips to share:
U-Ship is a “platform”, like eBay or Airbnb. They don’t operate trucks or drivers. They connect...
I considered that! It would certainly be cheaper.
But when I read the fine print in the standard rental agreement, I found that offroading is expressly prohibited. If the rented jeep is damaged, I'll be responsible for thousands out of pocket.
Ah! That's what I need!
But I can't find it on U Ship. I got all the way to the point where I must enter credit card info and click 'Order'. I don't see anything about a hard time commitment, just estimates.

@Redbaron73
Is U Ship time in transit accurate? What's your experience?
I check U Ship, and I'm looking at a service provider called Autos On The Go. Their advertised time in transit is "four days". But @dgoodhue says that his delivery time ended up being double what was...
Thanks @Redbaron73 and @Chocolate Thunder
1. I just took a look at U-Ship, and it looks like a marketplace for movers, not a moving company. Did you have specific experience with one of the companies there?
2. How reliable are their drop-off estimates? Even a few day delay could be disaterous...
Friends - What's the best way to get from jeep from here to there without driving it? I faced this question when I bought it, spending a week away from work to drive it back from the out-of-state dealer.
This summer we'd like to explore the country, but would rather spend our vacation week on...
The spring rains have brought an unexpected problem: Whenever the windshield wipers are turned to HI, they stop in place. They work normally in all other positions (low, intermittent). Repair required two weeks and two trips to the dealership, where it was eventually fixed under warranty.
If...
Becuase the 4XE is a plug-in hybrid (not an electric vechile like the Tesla S1), plugging-in less of a worry. I think about the electric option as a bonus.
Leaving that aside: I'm curious to hear your experience off road. Electric engines have much better torque at lower RPM than internal...
Which trailer hitch?
With COVID still ranging, I'm getting into campers. But before buying, I'll rent a few, just to get a feel. I'm looking for a versatile setup to hitch different campers with a JLU, all with 2" balls.
I invested in the OEM towing package, and the bottom of the receiver is...
