Jeep Wrangler 4xe Power Box Review

[bdrobet]

I posted this in another thread but I just received an update that my 2024 4xe Willys has been shipped to the dealership and was able to see the window sticker. It shows my Willys as having the Power Box, which I didn't think was possible!

Mine also order the Technology Group , but there no POWER BOX

My power box just sits in the garage, cool idea, but I haven’t come across a use case for it yet.

Mine is in my garage too. I was hoping Jeep would come out with a module to add on so I could use it sometime on my 2024 4xe Willys, but I doubt that will transpire.

I’m surprised the powerbox does not work with your Rubicon. Just asking, but did you charge it using the USB cable before testing it? There is a battery inside the powerbox that needs charging.

I just traded my 23 3.6 High Altitude for a 24 High Altitude 4xe about a month ago. I’m really digging the 4xe. I was thinking about the 392, because I like faster vehicles, but the red interior isn’t appealing to me. The 4xe HA is the happy medium. Easily as quick to 60 as my 3.5L Ecoboost F150 Platinum (5.7 sec). The 2.0 has superior torque to the V6 in the passing RPM range, as well.

As to the OP, I have not used the power box yet. I need to find a dinoot trailer so I can pack tailgating things for football season. There I could see the use of it. I already have the top wattage Jackery though. Seems a bit complicated to hookup correctly, but haven’t taken the time to worry about it.

Finally did use it on a trip. It was only day camping, so I felt confident to leave the jackery at home.
I am emboldened by the ease of use and seeing only draw 5% battery for a whole day of use with fridge and some light charging and kitchen equipment.

I intend to leave out the jackery in an upcoming 3 day trip. Let's see how that goes.
