Maybe research battery technology? Jeep has the worst battery technology out there. If we were comparing internet speeds, they are dial up. BTW, you do pay as you have to charge your vehicle at home. Off peak hours aren't bad, but you act like ~21 miles in the Wrangler 4xe is something to...
For those of you that think a 4xe is ever coming, stop dreaming! Also, why would you want one? If you understand the technology, it literally provides nothing as it stands right now. (I have a 4xe Trailhawk, by the way). I couldn't even watch the whole reveal as it was totally predictable...
Thought it would be worth a follow up, but I was at the aforementioned dealer again yesterday test driving a 392 and mentioned the whole no more JT conversation to my salesman. He refuted what was said to me previously and spoke to the GM as well who agreed. They did say that it's awfully...
For those of you that acknowledged I heard what I heard, Thank you! For those of you that interpreted I was getting a sales pitch, I already own a fucking Gladiator! I wasn't there looking to buy. The owner called me and told me he had a 97 Plymouth Prowler in the showroom that is not being...
The someone isn't me , I am simply relaying what was stated to me by a Jeep representative, the lead sales representative for the dealership and the owner within an earshot. How many concepts make it into production anyways? You can disregard the thread if you think I am here to stir the pot...
I confirmed this with my dealer this afternoon and a Jeep representative was in the building. It's not a surprise or unexpected given that Jeep is going to electrify all their models and there has been no news about the JT but the media surrounding the 2024 JL is everywhere. I was told that...
If they are still open and you want to hear my experience, just shoot me a message. We bought our Gladiator from Westgate and had a lot of work done with them when they were just opening that business. The service manager at the time, Joe Nichols, is an honest, customer-centric guy. I think...
I've been a forum member for 3.5 years or so and it's a tab on my laptop that is just perpetually open. I recently bought my wife a Grand Cherokee 4xe Trailhawk and figured I would join that community as well. What I am about to say next is not a surprise to me, but rather a testament or...
As soon as I got the auxiliary battery replaced, I purchased this battery tender and connected it to the main. Per your response, good to know that it will keep both batteries maintained. I've had the JT since July 2019 and only have 17,000 miles on it so I think this tool will benefit me...
I had the same message for about the last 3 months, even prior to the cold that we're stuck with in Iowa until April. Anyway, I found a coupon on the Mopar site for my dealer for a free battery charging system test. It claimed it was a value of $139.99. I had the test run and it confirmed the...
Found out today that my Aux battery is failing. I live in the Midwest and the Gladiator doesn't get driven but once or twice a week and, likely, less now that winter is upon us. I didn't know if anyone has done this or if it's even physically possible given the location of the aux battery. I...
I don't want to say NEVER but I think this is a bit of a stretch, at least this early. While sales are slumping, this would have to mark the quickest entrance and exit for a new vehicle in Jeep history. It's one thing when the XK was introduced and just stole sales from the WK; Jeep didn't...
We carry the element sticks as well. However, ours are in the JT and easily accessible for both the driver and passenger. In case of a fire and someone is pinned/stuck, we wanted to be able to reach them. Just a suggestion.
Update: I purchased the Rugged Ridge locks and have returned them already. I thought they might fit my original criteria for a hood latch, but unfortunately they can be picked in seconds. I suppose I will stick with the OEM latches. I don't want someone messing up my hood if they are after a...
I installed the same hydraulic lifters, but thank you for the explanation...makes sense! I've just been running across stories about theft across all vehicles and thought 'Do I need to protect my battery?" or ' Do I need to protect my CAI?'. I realize I am Iowa, which makes it, almost more...
I appreciate all the responses. I am still waiting on some information regarding why our hoods don't latch and lock like every other vehicle on the road? Also, with all the advancements over the years, why do the hoods also require a prop? I fixed that issue already, but I am curious as well.
