2024 was a mid-cycle refresh with a new interior, and some modest upgrades. The 2023 price will definitely influence the 24 price, but the 24 is also available 7-8% under invoice so it's not as huge of a gap as you think.
You are also thinking short term, once the 23 fire sale is over and...
Isnt the 2.8 fairly anemic? Unless i'm looking at the wrong one, published specs have it being woefully underpowered for a midsize truck at 160 hp, 310 ftlbs of torque. That should put the gladiators 0-60 in approximately never seconds with a load.
Personally I'd like a non-plugin hybrid 3.6 with a battery about 4-5 kwh, and the same electric power adders as the 4xe. Less battery weight and lots more power for what will be more or less the same MPG we currently get.
One thing always lost in these hybrid discussions is how much power...
It's not weight, it's aero. The jeep coefficient is so horrendous that any motor will do significantly worse in it than in something else. The ram on the other hand has excellent aero with front spoiler, way lower, unexposed tires. Just compare the ram 3.6 vs the gladiator and you'll see the...
The mojave shock bolt is bigger than the standard JT, thats the only thing that makes the shocks "not for mojave". If there is a pair of shocks you want the easiest thing is just to ream the eyelet or if the shock uses bushings, replace the bushing for the bigger bolt, problem solved.
Fox makes tons of OEM shocks that are fantastic, sxs, Raptors, Toyotas all have off road spec fox shocks that are long lasting and great reputation as well as great ride.
Mopar just gave some really shitty valve specs this time. In fact bds and fox took back all the Mopar spec valve'd shocks...
I don't know what the price on that used is, but I'm seeing loaded farout final edition diesels for under 50k, unless it's a screaming deal id rather have the power train warranty and diesel emissions warranties.
The diesel to me is like my wife's 4xe. Great power, great power train, no chance...
2025 supposedly is an improved 4xe for both wrangler and gladiator, not sure what it will entail but I wouldn't be surprised if it is a 3.6 version as the hybrid part is actually in the transmission and both the 2.0 and 3.6 mate up to the same transmission. Also yeah the Pacifica is using the...
Best part of this is that AEV which this was supposedly built by originally shot it down awhile ago saying they checked and the hurricane 3.0 doesn't fit lol.
Less porpoising and slightly better sway control. I believe the tapered spring bars just let it move up and down a bit more than I liked over bigger bumps. I don't think it was buy a new hitch levels of difference personally as I think the blue ox was probably 90-95% as effective but since I was...
Let us know how the 3p works, I've been interested in trying one, I've used a blue ox and now an equalizer and the equalizer is much better than the blue ox but the 3p just seems so cool to me.
The JSCAN angle reading has been the real game changer for me, find the angle it's off, turn it to that when on stands so the tire squish doesn't fight, then twist and go. It's especially handy with the aluminum drag links that use jam nuts torqued to hernia levels so you don't have to do it...
Sway is mostly controlled through tongue weight so I'd think getting that up will help a lot. The 3p hitch will help the truck move as one for the semi-suck and wind blows but a badly loaded trailer will still try to sway and move you around. Also make sure you aren't over distributing the...
