I think my recommendation would be to not have kids :) jk. Jeeps are not the safest vehicles. Even the safest car doesn't guarantee anything in an accident. Jeeps are Sketchy in some ways and thats why some people love them. My brother has a Honda Ridgline and he stares lustfully at my Jeep. The...

Are a bunch of people looking to replace their Tacos? Any reason in particular? Most of the Taco owners I know are still as hardcore as most of the Jeep people I know about their brand. At the end of the day it doesn't hurt to try something new! The off roader market is heating up a bit and with...

It's funny you say that. I was driving down the road today and saw two campers on the side of the road for sale that looked nice. I'm thinking to myself that the fronts look like they gotta wayyy too much area for this guy lol. Way too flat too, like most campers. Then I felt disappointed that I...

The only reason I got the Jeep was because I got Bronco'ed. It may look good that there are so many reservations/Orders for Broncos for investors but I wonder how many Ford diehards got their first jeep in the last few months because of this. The Bronco was the first car I ever ordered and was...

They should have two capacities GVWR and then another one that says the max it can tow going the speed limit anywhere in the US when it's 100 out lol.

I get that. Not knowing when it was coming was worse than waiting if that makes sense. Like throw a gps tag in the truck so I don't have to annoy my dealer and so I can just sit here and refresh to see if the dot moves on the map every 5 minutes lol. I was so Excited I would have problably flown...

Yeah, and again this is kind of turning into the diesel overheating thread because were all making assumptions. If I wasn't an enthusiast that came to the forum it would be so much better. I would just be enjoying my new jeep that works great. Instead I'm waiting for it to explode when I'm on...

Lol part of it is out of their control to a degree. Knowing my Jeep was done and sitting on a trailer or in a parking lot and getting "it could be any day or two or three weeks" was so frustrating. Makes sense if it goes on rail I guess but mine was waiting for a driver. Then seeing the...

I agree. There is a standard as we have talked about. But why in the past does it seem like trucks pulled their weight more confidently without a bunch of *'s. All the standard does is makes it so they can inflate advertised towing as much as possible while shedding responsibility. How long...

I feel bad that I spent so much time in this thread all anxious because I wasn't getting status updates. After all that I got mine in 6 weeks July 1st-early Aug. I really think Jeep Chat throws people off because when my salesperson texted his buddy at the plant to see if it was done (and it...

I went to community college and I remember the teacher for my first college level trig class walked in on the first day, put down his bag, didn't look at us and wrote on the board "It's Just Rocket Science" and we all looked at each other like this dude thinks he's at MIT and had to remind him...

See I feel that the ratings are real using the standard in that companies needed a way to quantify how much they can push the towing number while skirting liability. I traded my 2018 F150 (2.7L) for this jeep. Although I have a diesel, The max tow Glad has the same tow rating as my F150 did but...

It's crazy that a towing rating isn't a rating anymore. Well it's 6000 pounds but please enter the frontal area of the trailer, the temp, the elevation , and day of the week into this equation to determine today's towing capacity lol If the trailer was truly 8x9 it would be 72ft² then right? I...

That's one hell of a limp mode. Hopefully you can figure out what happened soon enough so that we don't lose sleep speculating. Im sure this has the 3.0 heat forums lighting up like crazy atm. What does the process look like for investigating what happened? Like is jeep goint to help @mikeduffy...

OMG please eject to this conversation Diesel cooling options and ideas Before you throw yourself into that world. Read your manual to learn how to avoid de-rating etc. The truck wont let you overheat it . If it needs to take a break it will de-rate by keeping you around 45mph until you cool it...

At this point I am the secondary-OP I think bringing up TX. Still don't know if I'm terrified of it or more excited to consider it as an option at this point.

Lol I love North Carolina, I just know as a developer many of the jobs there are for insurance companies and banks, Two industries I will never work for again :). When you say little cali, you mean Austin right?

Lol yeah, you're not wrong about that. As am I at the moment. Just trying to figure out where I do wanna be when/if things go back to normal.

Yeah, I just want to live somewhere with a decent tech scene where work is interesting and not political I guess. I'm not sure if that exists in that world but I'll keep looking. I appreciate the insight though!

I wanted to move to Texas because of your decent IT scene and to get out of Wisconsin. It's been hard to find a way to make it happen as a bunch tech people from the west coast moved in and drove up prices quite a bit. Any advice on how that looks today / where to look? Austin is obvious but i'd...
