Not Jeeps fault that you were born in Great Frozen North. The heaters would have reduced electric range too much so had to be sacrificed. I believe their goal was to eliminate exports to Canada entirely. And between that and the removal of the engine block heater I believe they might just succeed.
Who said I was born here? Like a true idiot, I moved here from blighty 🇬🇧🤪

Jeeps intentions towards Canada have been obvious since the 4xE came out and the handbook states how it won’t start if it’s below -30c. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Wow that might be the only time that I think moving to Canada might be an upgrade from where you came from holy shit.

Well as long as you don't go to Quebec you know...

Whatever major changes Tavares had for the Wrangler, which was likely an STLA Large platform for electrification, probably won't happen now. STLA Large would mean 4 wheel independent suspension.

With the lack of traction for EV sales in the popular priced retail market, and the likely changing of government policy, not just in the US, but probably the EU too, many future vehicle projects will likely get modified or scrapped.

So I expect Jeep's J70 wont make it. Anyway, Toyota put the J70 name on their small Landcruiser. For 2028, I would expect a somewhat new Wrangler, evolved off the JL. It will keep costs down and wont drive away the customer base.

Jeeps have always evolved to a certain extent. Innovations were the CJ5 and the JK. Some might say the TJ, but it was still using AMC body parts. However the frame/suspension was innovative, as it was the first coil sprung Jeep.

Anyway, if Jeep makes the Wrangler into something it is not, it will fail. They can make a new model with all the innovations, but keep the Wrangler formula in place for the Wrangler. I don't understand why there are those who want the Wrangler to be made into some state of the art, tech heavy, luxury barge.

My experience working with the EU, EASA in particular, is that they move very slow and seldom retract their position, even in the face of facts indicating another path.

I hate to be the bearer of bad bad news but the next Wrangler is going to be electric with 200 miles of base range and IFS.

I remember a lot of people claiming that the world will end with y2k, and then again in 2012. Since we're all still around, pardon me for being skeptical with any citation

I did bust it against the wall recently, but that's nothing duct tape couldn't fix, right? Also, I think that with the recent decline in sales Stelantis won't want to rock the boat too much. Again, if you have a citation to counter my belief, I'd like to read up on it.
