The Wagoneer BEV is an addition to the Wagoneer brand stable. The BEV isn't replacing the existing GW or Wagoneer models. Those models will eventually go electric, too, but still be big, truck-based people haulers.
I think it's a smart move on Jeep's part. As evidenced by the number of Sahara and High Altitude-trim Jeeps I see rolling around, there's a market for a more lux, comfortable off-roader product from Jeep. You can dress up Wrangler and Gladiator all you want but it still feels like a Jeep (not a...
Fortunately, I have not experienced your issues with my JT. Going on 30k miles, the Gladiator has been solidly reliable aside from the leaking rear glass that was replaced under warranty. I do sometimes long for the roominess, comfort and payload/towing capacity of a full-size truck. But I just...
There's someone in my parking lot at work with a HVY Wrangler. It is a plain awful color. At first I thought there's no way it came from the factory that way. And, typically, I appreciate Jeep's brighter colors. Mojito, Punk'n, Hellayella, etc. look great.
The JT isn't going anywhere. And it was never intended to be a volume seller. For better or worse, Stellantis/FCA made the decision a long time ago to chase higher average transaction prices. That's why the historically niche Jeep brand became the "volume" brand, Ram became a standalone brand...
I put 295/70R18 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT on my stock Overland wheels. Tire size is great for the Overland. Regarding the specific tires you're considering, do you know what the load range is for each? Almost everything in that size is E, including the Coopers I bought. Tires are definitely...
I was in your position. Loved my Overland but hated the tires. I got on here to figure out what tire to upsize to. After reading through posts I thought, " do I need to regear as well?!"; "are E-load range tires just awful to live with?" Honest to God I think I spent half a year on the decision...
The Cooper Discoverer AT3 line is excellent. For whatever reason the Coopers seem to be overlooked in a world of Nittos, Toyos, and BFGs. I personally have the AT3 XLT, which is a heavy-duty tire with deeper treads and stiffer sidewalls. The tires are very quiet. If you want something closer to...
You've received a lot of advice already so I would only add that, in my own personal experience, it's easy to overestimate the capabilities you'll need and/or the mods required for your Jeep to do what you need. The Gladiator is incredibly capable stock. Throw on a leveling kit and 35" tires or...
2020 Overland with 3.6 Pentastar, leveling kit, 295/70R18 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT tires, Bestop Sunrider.
Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself, but in 26,000+ miles the only issue I've had has been the leaking rear glass. It was replaced under warranty by the dealer (though it took months and...
It's typical for a dealer to check for an open RRT, or Rapid Response Transmittal, when a vehicle comes in for service. It's not quite at the level of a recall but it's above a TSB. I am not familiar with the specific one you mention but there have been some rough idling issues with the 3.6...
Agree with the XC90. It's what my wife and I typically drive for longer trips or running errands. I wouldn't say it's fuel efficient like the OP said he's looking for but it's in line with large to mid-size SUVs. The cargo space is phenomenal in the XC90 with the third row down. It's also a...
I'm not convinced the Maverick will be a huge hit for Ford (or consumers) after the initial sheen wears off. To make up for the low starting price, Ford will either need to sell these in some serious volume or push buyers toward higher-optioned trims - making them less of a value. I would guess...
Your bio says you live in Raleigh. Is that still where you're located? If so, check out Dealer Lifts in Garner/Willow Springs area. They quoted me 3 hours labor to do the Teraflex 1.5 leveling kit at $100/hour. Much better price than 4WP you mentioned. Plus, the guys at Dealer Lifts know what...
I’m glad a fix (fingers crossed) was found for it. The rough idle was never a huge nuisance but definitely an annoyance on a new vehicle, especially since the other Pentastars I’ve had experience with were flawless. Hope others get the same result!
Great numbers. The smartest thing Chrysler/Fiat and Sergio Marchionne did post-Recession was to elevate Jeep from a niche brand to a volume brand. Oh, and building more reliable vehicles that aren't as plastic-fantastic probably helped too.
I've been watching threads related to the 3.6 Pentastar rough idling for a while. I've experienced rough idling after doing a remote start or after the ESS feature kicks the engine back on. About 24k miles on my '20 JT Gladiator now. The issue never really bothered me but I kept an eye on it...
This is probably not your issue at all, but I used to regularly listen to a specific FM radio station that would constantly go up and down in volume. Drove me nuts! I finally figured out that it was the HD radio signal going in and out. When "HD" lit up on the Uconnect screen the volume would go...
The problem in my mind is that stepping up to 35s+ (done properly - lift, regearing, etc.) means thousands of dollars...not to mention more frequent stops at the gas pump due to reduced fuel economy. I guess it MIGHT look a little better, but that's really subjective. If it's a daily driver and...
