I disagree.
AEV's business model is to supply a complete system that works within warranty parameters and meets the needs of the vast swath of enthusiasts who want a turn-key warrantied package that they can take to a single dealership for service rather than a laundry list of parts that may or...
That is not exactly true. The Jeep warranty covers the factory parts that weren't modified unless it can be proven that the modification resulted in the failure. A dealership cannot just deny a claim because they want to deny a claim. In most cases, warranty claims net the dealership income from...
The Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act protects you, the consumer, from nonsense like this. If the dealer won't honor the factory warranty they have to prove that the failure was due to the aftermarket part.
Also, aftermarket parts manufacturers and installers have a "shadow warrranty" that covers...
It’s not so much that quality has gone down—it's that complexity has skyrocketed. Today’s vehicles are overloaded with tech that most drivers don’t need and few mechanics can easily diagnose. It’s no longer a matter of turning a wrench and listening for a miss; now you're deciphering encrypted...
This Jeep is marked as sold through Jeep.
If you follow up on the ad, the dealer will tell you to come down. They'll tell you that the Jeep is on the website, but they can't find it. When you get there, you'll show them the ad, they'll pull it up on the website, and say that price is listed...
For some mission envelopes, the Power Wagon is just the ticket. For much of my driving, it could go either PW or Gladiator.
I'm torn; I grew up with Simon & Simon, so I have a soft spot in my head for the Power Wagon. But, from a practical truck standpoint ... I go Gladiator; I'm too old to...
No, it doesn't really vary at all.
If a Jeep dealer is of the size that their insurance requires GPS locators and monthly/weekly inventory reports (and they ALL are that size if they want to keep their dealership contract with CDJR), then the dealer principal is going to do what is required for...
GPS tracker used by dealerships for inventory. Should have been removed by dealership, but they don't employ the smartest porters or delivery prep guys, so ...
Jeep outlives other off-road vehicles.
Ford Bronco is resurrected to complete with Jeep.
Jeep designs a Bronco, badges it as a Recon, to compete with the Ford Bronco.
...circle of life.
Or, more accurately, Jeep participating in a circular firing square with itself.
I've got a Sport S (with Max Tow ... if you have Max's Toe you must always announce you've got it; sort of like inserting into every conversation that you went to Harvard if you went there, or alerting everyone you're going to lunch with that you're vegan, not vegetarian. There are rules.) and I...
If you're going to use your vehicle as a trade in the dealer is going to maximize the amount they make by offering as little as possible for your vehicle. The numbers they use aren't based on Kelly, they're based on local auction pricing. They'll give you more, but you have to present your...
The dealer isn't interested in your JTR. They're interested in selling you a new car. The software a dealership uses allows salesmen to sort by who has purchased what, and when they purchased it. Then they call the "most likely" to be ready to sell.
Another great tactic is to walk the service...

It's an ... "interesting" retelling of the Jeep story with some pretty good pictures and a whole lot of guessing going on in the final story.
Is it accurate? Jim Allen is a good writer.
