  1. My insurance went up

    I also couldn’t respond for the same reason… must resist Oof!
  2. 3.6 Penstar Poll!

    I know there are plenty of examples to refute me, but long stroke I-6 it what I think of when it comes to “truck engines.”
  3. Any reason to avoid Manual Transmission?

    My dealership told me in December they couldn't sell the manual Jeeps they had on the lot due to an unresolved recall. They had several. Maybe just an upsell? I don't know.
  4. 3.6 Penstar Poll!

    Thanks... that makes a lot of sense.
  5. Study: EVs cost more to fuel than ICE engines

    My Samsung panels were built in Memphis and have a 20 year warranty. Quality panels are normally good for 25+ years. I have 28 panels and have not seen any fail (including through heavy hail). My inverter was built in Germany and had a 10 year warranty (and was replaced once under warranty). I...
  6. 3.6 Penstar Poll!

    The 392s I found were right at 100k. With this in mind, what do you suppose would be the price of a 5.7L V8 Jeep? I'm thinking a lot more than an additional 4-5K...
  7. Study: EVs cost more to fuel than ICE engines

    Also absurd... both at the same time. Please consider: The United States is the largest producer of oil, averaging 18.9 million b/d to account for 20% of the world’s production in 2022 I think the plug-in hybrid is a good idea in general. That's why I own one.
  8. Study: EVs cost more to fuel than ICE engines

    I should also mention that between federal and state tax credits for the plug-in hybrid, we got $10,000 back on the purchase price of the car. Also absurd.
  9. Study: EVs cost more to fuel than ICE engines

    Hyundai has a lifetime warranty on the battery. It only has a 30 mile range, so not particularly large, but it handles all our commuting. I think the subsidies are absurd, but if they’re throwing money out the window, I’m there to catch it.
  10. Study: EVs cost more to fuel than ICE engines

    We are net metering as well. I installed 28 panels over several weeks back around 2007. System cost me about $35,000, Colorado (Xcel) rebate was $4.50/watt at the time (-$28,000), so system cost was $7,000 - federal rebate. About $5,300 out of pocket. My wife drives a plug-in Hyundai Ionic...
  11. New Gladiator Rubicon

    I like it ? I wanted that color, but they only had the manual.
  12. Jeep is Cutting Prices and Adding Content!

    Mostly because the dealer stock Mojave’s I found in Denver at the time were outside my budget.
  13. Jeep is Cutting Prices and Adding Content!

    It does. The Rubicon was a better fit for me.
  14. Jeep is Cutting Prices and Adding Content!

    Wasn’t comparing them as trucks. They are the only two vehicles under 50K with a GVWR over 6000# that I can write off under section 179 that I would actually like to own. And I didn’t want another full-size pickup. I use the bed for work, but don’t need to carry 4’ x 8’ sheets of plywood...
  15. Jeep is Cutting Prices and Adding Content!

    If the new hybrid Tacoma was available at the end of last year, I’d probably be driving that.
  16. Jeep is Cutting Prices and Adding Content!

    This is what I see too. Build a truck and then click through to the dealer matches. Pricing varies wildly, even dealer to dealer. I was in a pinch at the end of last year, so I had to shop, spec, and purchase all in the span of about a week… the Jeep had to be on the dealer lot. When they...
  17. What's the competition got the Gladiator doesn't?

    Under warranty? That's impressive. Both of mine failed between 60 and 90K, not under warranty. That sucked.
  18. What's the competition got the Gladiator doesn't?

    Subarus don't just consume... you will sooner rather than later be putting in head gaskets... not a simple job on a horizontally opposed engine. Never again.
  19. What's the competition got the Gladiator doesn't?

    My 2014 Tundra was the most reliable vehicle I ever owned, but I needed the write-off in 2023 and wanted a Jeep. I'm fairly certain I downgraded in reliability.
  20. Colorado or Front Range Gladiator owners

    There are a lot of Jeeps around here... even Gladiators. I think the forum can be awfully negative, but I really like this Jeep.
