Jeep 4xe new battery

[tk1700]

I'm just as skeptical as morph860, but it's a lot harder to troll reviews about a 4xe on a long weekend trip like I just had. I mean, my 2022 Gladiator didn't magically transform into a 4xe while I was hiking in Big Bend, and the ones I saw on the road looked like, well, regular Gladiators.

Are you confusing 4xE with ETorque?

Would you be willing to post a few pics of your Gladiator 4xE for us?

Check your battery coolant bottles. Mine were empty after the battery sucked it all in and the dealer didn't refill

After battery replacement I had to have coolant added and the lines bled twice.

Other than that, Ive had no issues. No loss of power in Electric only, no funky acceleration or loss of range etc.

There's a lot of shade on the 4xE's out there, and certainly those who've had more issues than I have, but the majority of grumbling comes from from a very small fraction of owners, AND alot of non-4xE owners.

@taveysr I had my 4xe battery replaced in Dec of '21 after 7 months of ownership at 8k miles. The dealership did not purge air out of the battery cooling lines, so I found my coolant tank nearly empty after returning from an offroad run. I still hear a little sloshing upon initial bootup, but the battery has been working fine for over 4 years and another 52k miles.
68C, however, has limited the battery power as many others have said.

Mine was in Feb 7th for 68C, electric coolant heater and bypass valve, so, hopefully they will purge all the air out of the coolant systems. We will see. Saying battery should be in April 1st but you know what that date means.

I don't know your situation, but I have to ask, why live with the stress?

Getting rid of my 4xe did cost me a lot of money, but the peace I'm feeling now is priceless.

I'm with GinaC on this one. It cost me a boat load, but I dumped my 4xe at Carvana this morning after getting it back with a new battery. Maybe I got a lemon, but after 3 different major issues in it's first year of service, my 4xe was too unreliable to take into remote areas . On a positive note, I'm hoping to upgrade to a new Rubicon on Saturday .

Congrats are certainly in order! We came through the proverbial Jeep fire and out the other side.
