The first year release of any new vehicle can be associated with 'growing pains' as new technology is introduced into the marketplace. In considering a 4xe, here are some of my thoughts on the platform and what's been available for 12 months+ and what's brand new.
Utilized and proven 12+ months or more:
Utilized and proven 12+ months or more:
- JLU platform, suspension, drivetrain including transfer case and dana axles; available since 2018 model year
- etorque technology available since 2019 on Ram(?)
- 2.0L turbo with etorque engine available since 2020 on JLU
- PHEV hybrid gas-electric systems, Uconnect 8.4 'electric pages' ; since 2017 hybrid Pacifica
- ZF 8-speed transmission with electric drive - not sure if this is used elsewhere but ZF is top of the transmission game
- PHEV packaging specific to the JLU (battery pack location, size, capability)
