I thought I heard that but I agree it doesn’t sound plausible. Mine gets more than the published 20 miles around town regularly and there are videos showing others getting 25+
agree the weight is significant but if you look at many of the customized wranglers out there, most are heavy. So is the land cruiser, etc. It’s still very capable off-road. I get it though… to each their own.
I agree with your points. I have a 4xe and have been overall impressed with the range I get compared to Jeep's published range. Of course, I wish it was much more. I am one of those niche users that this works well for. My usual commute is relatively short, almost all electric around town. I...
This was a cool video but wondering why the range was so short. I believe I read Jeep did the full Rubicon trail in electric which is 22 miles. Maybe TFL left it in 4 Low the entire time... not sure.
Thanks for sharing.
It was pretty easy for me...
- Significantly more HP and torque
- Off-roading in silence
- Can use electric or ICE when I choose
- Reduced spend on gas
- $7500 tax credit
The manual stick is the main thing I really miss.
That said, I would like the 392 if the price differential with tax...
If anyone is interested in a pretty much fully loaded Granite Crystal 4xe Rubicon, my dealer said they accidentally ordered an extra of the exact build I purchased. Significant discount below MSRP and below FCA. Pacific NW area... Washington State
I'm in the same situation but am considering hard wiring. My understanding is anything above 40 amps requires hard-wiring so I'm considering that route, though I would prefer plug-in. The 4xe won't take advantage of anything over 40 right now but I'm considering future capabilities and don't...
From what I’ve seen it sounds like you can recharge the battery while using the ICE. There is a menu selection to choose whether to save the battery or recharge it.
True but contiguous miles don’t really matter to me. It’s about how often I need to refill gas. If that’s significantly reduced, so is cost and emission.
I agree with your premise but see it the other way... seems like lots of shade being thrown at the 4xe based on conjecture, fear and speculation about what might happen. There are enough Jeep models now for everyone to get what they want and one is not better than another. It’s all based on the...
Great list. Here's mine:
1. More HP and torque
2. More HP and torque
3. Can drive all-electric around town while recharging at night, saving money and the environment
4. Tax credits
5. Silent off-road driving. I only want to hear the gravel crunching under my tires
6. Can recharge the battery...
