2022 rubicon 4xe
Sport mode is the only thing that comes close. It does have good power in sport mode, but 375HP and 470TQ are not what I am feeling, and I have driven enough high HP/TQ vehicles in my time to know.

It's a nice vehicle, and while I know it is not a sports car, it just doesn't feel like it has the advertised power. So, unless there is some magical combination of settings that I have not discovered, and I think that I have tried them all, I am not seeing it.
My old 4xe rubicon. 5300lbs. In a drag race with a 392, the 4xe will be ahead of it until about 30-35mph until the 392 starts reeling it in, I’ve raced one.

If you want to learn how to launch, put in esave or sport, gas and brake pedal all the way down, wait 2 seconds, release brake.

Problem found (fingers crossed)--I took it back to the dealer because it is just not right. Since it had been in the shop for more than 6 weeks, the service manager took over. We took a 2025 demo out (together) and then drove mine. He agreed that something was not right, and they put it back in the shop.

He called me a bit ago and said that they should have replaced two modules and re-flashed two others as part of the overall recall, but they were missed. One of the two modules that should have been replaced during the recall had failed almost the minute we drove out of the dealership and should have thrown a CEL, but it did not.

It should be ready next week. After driving the 2025, at least I have validation that I am not (completely) crazy and am looking forward to the performance it had in mine.

Not to say yours being broken is a good thing, but glad to see you have experienced just how impressive the EV+ICE powertrain really is. It should be a full second quicker to 60 than the Bronco raptor that claims 418hp and 440ftlbs at a similar weight.

That was what was missing. I have driven other hybrids and all electric vehicles and mine just did not come close.
