The 2024 4xe is an amazing vehicle. Yes the electric part is cool but the best capability this has is driving down a mountain with regenerative braking. Barely if ever touched the brakes. While up here wheeled the basic but fun Linville Falls pass in NC in all electric which was generated coming down from Carvers Gap NC.

Still love driving my 2020 JLU but wife’s 4xe is a a lot of fun.

Mountains up and down are very relaxed and filling up the battery going down is fun to watch. You’ll likely never need a brake job ?

I gained 71% going from the top of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park to the bottom back south toward NC/GA. I actually had to hit the gas occassionally as the regen braking would over brake.

We were wheeling in Utah for most of the last 2 weeks. Had a couple days when I didn't get to charge and still ended up with 13% on the battery after running trails. The hybrid system is so efficient at slow stop and go driving (either city or trail) that it charges the battery quite nicely. It was a complete blast to drive, love the power and control!

We drove our 4xe Rubicon up to NC and TN from FL. Definitely enjoyed driving in the mountains with it. Much more enjoyable than my Power Wagon. I can’t wait to go back!

It's funny - ever since I started driving electric/hybrids, I feel a little disappointed about the 'missed opportunity' whenever I'm coasting long distances in an ICE-only vehicle. I can't help but think: this engine is on for no reason! :LOL:

You 4xe people! Always forcing your agenda on everyone. I CaN Go uP a MoUnTaiN tOo! I don't need stupid electricity that doesn't even give me good gas milage. In fact you're wasting more tugging those heavy batteries while my jeep saves due to it being lighter!

Plus because of you now they are going to put those dumb chargers next to our spots and you know what that will bring trash and people destroying the environment so much for helping it.

Good Job being a sheep and following the agenda. Don't worry I'll tow you out when your all out of juice.

Love,

A 4xe owner.
