  1. Potentially joining the Jeep family

    I hear you and generally would agree wit you. Most light load boat trailers have long tongues which are not accommodating to WDH’s. I think the longer wheelbase and extra power of the 4xe should make all the difference for a 3000lb load.
  2. New to jeep any advice would be great.

    Yup, because people were focused on the OP, which I don't blame them. Thought it would actually be better to start a new thread. Since it offends you I will delete my post.
  3. Potentially joining the Jeep family

    Very true. We will see how it goes. They will have to offer a more powerful version now, there's just no way around it. The Tacoma now has a powerful hybrid option and Ford is putting the 2.7L and 3.0 in the new Ranger. The last time they got pushed by Ford in the SUV market Jeep came out...

    Gotcha, so just pay attention to steering dynamics and get it serviced as soon as you notice. Are there service intervals for the steering components that I should follow if/when the time comes?
  5. Potentially joining the Jeep family

    All those are very true points, keep in mind though that with the new rear axle and other updates the 2024 Wrangler can tow 5000lb's now. Losing the under seat storage could be the trade-off you have to make choosing the 4xe over the tried and true 3.6.
  6. Potentially joining the Jeep family

    That's a very good idea! Would probably be less of a hassle than going to a dealer for a test drive. With the similar power rating of the Stellantis 3.6 to the Toyota 4.0 a move to the current JT would be more of a lateral move. Jim Morrison is on record saying all Jeeps will have an...

    Thanks for that! I've heard great things about the Mojave suspension.
  8. Potentially joining the Jeep family

    I've thought about it but that would be more of a lateral move than an upgrade. There's nothing mechanically wrong with my 4Runner, it's just older. The 3.6 makes very similar power to the ancient 4.0 in the 4Runner. I would like to wait for the new 12" screen and standard safety/led...
  9. Potentially joining the Jeep family

    Thanks for the feedback! It is great you're able to compare the Toyota IFS to the Mojave directly! As for the top off, I'm not really a top down kinda guy. In my 4Runner I drop the rear window and all door window but leave the sunroof closed. It's just something about that direct sun while...
  10. Potentially joining the Jeep family

    The Toyota hydrogen engine/fuel cell isn’t viable, nor is the the BMW version, at least for passenger cars. The very limited pumps freeze up constantly and apparently refueling the stations in California is a chore. I would much rather stick with gas until making the jump to EV. The current...

    Jim Morrison said in an interview to Brad from TrailRecon that all Jeeps will have an electrified option by 2025.
  12. Potentially joining the Jeep family

    I’m used to being victim to a “needy” hobby. B reak O ut A nother T housand I already have accessories bookmarked to buy as soon as I make the purchase. I have no skin in the Stellantis game, I do really like the 4xe concept and want to see if grow. I’ll only be moving to Jeep when the 4xe...
  13. Potentially joining the Jeep family

    Hi Everyone, I'm new here but would like to get some input on maybe moving to a JT in the next year or so. My main use cases for a vehicle are mild forest trails on occasion, towing the boat to the lakes and 150 miles to the coast, driving on the beach, and the typical Dad duties (aka...
  14. 2024 Jeep Gladiator Refresh Caught in the Wild

    I think Brad from TrailRecon has a video interviewing Jim Morrison during Easter Jeep Safari. In the video Jim says Jeep wants an Electrified option in all models by 2025. My guess is 4xe is coming with the refresh. Fingers crossed.
  15. 2024 Jeep Gladiator Refresh Caught in the Wild

    If they do bring the 4xe to the Gladiator I just found my next vehicle. I would love the idea of being able to drive my kiddo to/from school on just EV power and save the fuel for towing the boat on the weekend.
