That is a really old thread. There is a current recall for over 32,000 Wranglers in the U.S. and more in Canada.

I don't see in his words where he made a comparison to a Tesla. He merely stated that the way to make the most of the hybrid system is to plug in as often as you can. That's how PHEVs work. Not everything has to be a comparison to a Tesla. I would likely own a Model 3 if the 4XE hadn't come out...

Yeah, it's a weird, dirty MPG number. I have yet to figure out the math. If you manually figure your MPG using only the miles driven when the engine is running, it doesn't equate to the MPG on screen 5. If you calculate all miles driven and fuel used, it still doesn't add up. I've reset both...

What you are describing would be exactly right in a standard hybrid or HEV. But the idea of a PHEV is to give it electric only range. Like some others have said, you can force a blended hybrid mode by pulling the shifter over. It will spread the battery use across around 70 miles. The nice...

I think you're right. I picked mine up on 3/31/21.

There is a rumor floating around the forums about a recall on the Wrangler 4XE. It stems from an unfortunate typo and an oddly similar name for an electrified propulsion system made by a company called Meritor. Their integrated electrified propulsion system is called the 14XE. A typo by an...

That is a company called Meritor that makes an electrified power train called the 14XE. There is a typo in the headline making it 4XE. That doesn’t have anything to do with the 4XE.

I’m looking for anyone with inside knowledge on what this name badge is all about. The running theory is that this may have been the original name of the Wrangler 4XE. It would have been 4X4e instead of 4XE. Note that the e looks a lot like the e on the 4XE only without the two prongs on the...

If you don’t already know about the blended braking system on the Wrangler 4XE, this video might make you question the validity of using Max Regen on a daily basis. Also, did you know that the Wrangler 4XE is both a series hybrid and a parallel hybrid depending on conditions? I don’t quite...

Today marks one month with my Wrangler 4XE. Still amazed and still impressed with the design decisions. It’s just a great overall vehicle. I have developed just a short wish-list. These are not complaints as much as just things I wish were possible. 1-Latching max regen. I would also like to...

Yes, we confirmed that it can be towed with the lead engineer on the 4XE project. No, it can’t be charged because everything has to be in neutral. Plus, that would bring the gas milage down on the RV too.

That's good information. Thank you.

That sets how it behaves when the eSave mode is selected. It’s like two sub-modes within eSave mode. It still operates as a hybrid in both modes. It just places a priority on either keeping the battery where it is or works to actually charge it. Both modes lower gas milage but charge uses more...

I was thinking the same thing. I’d like to have a setting to disable creep.

It’s being worked on. Stay tuned.

It’s a tough test. On the highway, it’s not as beneficial as around town. It would be hard to come away with a fuel economy impact because it would have to be done in hybrid mode over a pretty long trip to see the difference. The real advantage would be in extending electric mode. I want to try...

From time to time I have seen posts where people mention tapping in to the high voltage battery for over landing use. The first issue is that there would have to be some sort of conversion to a lower voltage which would require some sort of hardware. If you are going to that much trouble to add...

I forced myself to run it to get those 300 miles in. It was painful.

That’s a really good question. I’ve only done a couple 120+ mile trips to test and was seeing around 24MPG. I need to take some really long drives to test more.

Good theory. Wow!
