What's Jeep hinting at by "40.4"

[Aonarch]

My money is on 35" tires with a 40.4° departure angle

You'll also see the rear tires on the sign are larger than the front. Who draws a jeep like that??
I'm going with bigger tires and increased departure angle.

Probably a new 40.4" infotainment

From the JL thread (also saw it on the Bronco6g forum):

Yeah thats it.


They just threw up another pic on their instagram with "47.4" on the rear bumper

My best guess is that’s the break over angle, with 40.4 being departure angle. Which means at some point they’ll show off something related to approach angles, or just show off whatever it is as well.

They should have done it like those masochistic marathon stickers. 13.1, 26.2, 40.4, 47.4.

If not break over then it's 4xe gladiator range on full electric.

I don’t believe this is JT 4Xe related mostly because it doesn’t make sense to use a JL in the teaser pics if it’s for a JT model/powertrain. Most likely scenario is bigger tires from the factory which could potentially mean a taller ride height which would translate to better approach, break over, and departure angles.

I also think that it is the Approach and Departure angles with 35's on to match the Ford Bronco on 35's...once again (deep breath) thank you Ford

What's the departure angle for the 2 door Rubicon?

The fact that this teaser is on the rear bumper make me wonder if it's the 2 door departure on 35s/lift.

The link I posted before said the package was 4 door only, but that would still give Ford the edge, as the Sasquatch can be had on both.

 

[DaveNH]

37° to 47.4° seems unlikely with just lift/tires, so it's probably approach/ departure.

Package was all but confirmed on the JL thread; poster said he's had embargoed info, and he's been right in the past.

If we get another teaser tomorrow with 26.5 or so, that'll just about seal the deal.
